Very disappointed for now.

Very disappointed it is not 3.5" as stated. It doesn't say anywhere that these are the dimensions with another pad inserted. Nor should it give the dimensions with a pad, because it depends directly on the thickness of the pad you put in.
I did buy a BA insulated aircore with it , but counted on adding the 3.5" to the 2.5" of the pad. Another disappointement was that I thought it was a self inflatable one. Teaches me to stick to my old motto of not buying stuff on impuls even if it's on sale.
Debating wheher to actually try them this weekend or send them back immediately for misrepresentation.
BTW: I've been camping and backpacking for decades, and this setup is intended for car camping, so this is not a beginner's inexperienced buy.

I meant I thought the BA Aircore was self-inflating, obviously not the memory foam one.
