It is pretty thick so it takes quite a bit to blow up - not bad but my cheeks hurt by the time I am done. Packs smaller and is liter then the Thermarest and packs in the bag with my Big Agnes bags which is AWESOME!! Overall, very comfy but the temperature ratings are a bit off unless you are wearing some serious layers as well to compensate. This is a 3 season MINUS pad - don't let the "insulated" tag fool you, it is however better then a pure air pad.

I have found that the pad is not the reason the temp rating feels off. It is the Big Agnes Sleeping Bag itself. I thought the pad was rated incorrectly too, that was until I replaced the BA bag with a conventional bag. I have used this pad in temps down into the teens without cold spots. I'm not saying the BA bag is bad, but the insulation on the bottom of a conventional bag, even when compressed, is better than no insulation at all.
