I haven’t actually done it yet, but I probably am going to end up investing in an inflatable mattress of my own before my next time sharing a hotel room with folks. It’s just, I do that so rarely these days that it’s hard to justify spending money on something that would get used to so rarely. But yeah, even with the whole “gradually deflating over the course of the night” issue, it really was a lot more comfortable than my usual strategy of plopping a sleeping bag on the floor. I know, shocking revelations here. It was just that the shift from “firm and solid bed” to “basically a waterbed” to “essentially being in a hammock” meant that I kept waking up in the middle of the night hand having to totally rearrange myself, since what constituted as “comfortable” no longer applied.
Actually, by single biggest complaint was just that, due to the mattresses size, we had to set the thing up right in the middle of the room, between the two real beds. One of the main reasons I’ve clung to the ol’ sleeping bag method, despite how demonstrably crazy it may be, is because I almost always end up keeping different hours than whoever else is in the room. I do kind of like being able to tuck myself away in a corner where everyone else can just ignore me, and the whole giant inflatable mattress thing is pretty hard to avoid.
