ALPS Mountaineering Lightweight Series Air Pad
Good for Light Car Camping

Decent mat overall. Its durability has held up for me - comfort is on par with its size and weight. The price makes it a great deal.
I don't know that I'd recommend it for backpacking, though. The weight and especially size make it bulkier than most of the competition (I have a Thermarest Prolite that packs up much smaller).
If you're willing to carry the extra size, or want a slightly smaller car camping pad, this is a nice alternative.
