Well.
Mine turned up yesterday, and today I've tried it out on the bed, only in the garage, but a proper try out will be forthcoming. The ME Glacier 5 is ever so slightly too long for my Benchmark X, but not a problem. Fits perfectly width wise, and if I did doubt anyone advice (don't think I did) then apologies. It just makes the bed a whole lot better. I now feel like I'm going to be sleeping "on" the bed rather than "in" it.
I sleep on my back, and before the SIM, I felt almost like I was sleeping in a Hammock rather than a bed, even after tightening up the bungees twice. Hopefully, I'll get a better nights sleep now, bar the odd fish or two.
One last thing.
Does everyone leave them on their beds or remove them and fix them on before every trip ??

Leave them on.. Too much fuss taking off they fold up easily. 🙂

probably already mentioned - swap out the elastic for paracord. It makes a world of difference!

Yes it is and PERSONALLY ! I follow the instructions to the letter
as its called a SIM for a reason ( self inflating mattress )
so I dont blow into it as IMO it simply turns it to an airbed and would not even feel the special high density and foam inside
and is no where near as comfortable you have to appreciate these things are meant to lay on hard ground and we are putting them on a mattress
by having SPACE for the air to move around its a bit like laying on a water bed and is superbly comfy
