This is my first pad other than a foam ridge rest. I mostly car camp but have dreams of backpacking again. I'm also over 50 and I think I have less tolerance for the constant adjustments I need to make when sleeping on a thin mattress than I did years ago. A friend has a similar model and convinced me that it is durable enough. Just got back from a two night trip and I slept great - basically as good as I do at home in my own bed. It makes a little noise but once you get settled in it's no big deal. I don't give 5 stars so at 4 stars - I think I got a good deal and am very satisfied.
