There is at least 2 sizes available of the Trail pro ... just double check which one you want (i went for large ... regular size also available) but i also have the even smaller "womans" version i used on my JRC X-Lite Stealth bedchair as was smaller

I notice the one you recommend is longer, wider and thicker than the Trakker one
Just hope the seams and valves are better made.

You can save a tad more if you use a cashback site such as Topcashback or Quidco

I've used the Trakker and another one purchased at a camping store. Both won't hold air but both together - deflated - give a good night's sleep.

I use a Nash indulgence with bag over the normal mattress.
Would the helium replace the standard mattress and sit in its place? And then sleeping bag go over the top and slip over each end of the bedchair?

I won't be using it for a while but I bought the Helium 3.8 in the Black Friday sale. My main reason for buying it is I get sciatica and need extra comfort rather than the extra warmth.
My first impression was that it is very narrow, I couldn't possibly use it in a camping situation but as I've read on here by so many people I assume it's going to be fine on a bedchair.
My main concern is that I left it overnight and it would not self inflate at all, the next day I had to inflate it by blowing into it. I then folded it up, got the air out and then had another go and it doesn't seem to self inflate much, with my previous big and bulky budget SIM you can actually hear the air rushing into it.
I also read that this SIM will self inflate under a sleeping bag, I've not tried it yet but as it struggles without a bag I'd imagine you'd need plenty of puffs to get that to happen.
So have I got a dud or is this normal?
