Make sure the flip valve is completely shut. If not it will slowly leak down. Only negative I have is the valve cover cap is difficult to snap shut. It is very comfortable.
As a side sleeper (6'1" 195#), I find that it has to be blown up very full to keep my hip off the ground, and after it cools a bit it loses a fair amount of volume, requiring blowing it up again during the night. My second peeve is the valve cover- it sometimes closes easily and other times can take minutes to get it snapped- not good at 2 AM. It takes about 35 full breaths to inflate. After several attempts I still have not been able to get enough air out of it to fit back in its stuff bag. It is comfortable, and nice not to be rolling off of a narrower pad. I use the 3/4 original Thermarest from my camp chair to pad the hip area. Not sure I will use the Vluxe for fall and spring hiking.
Yup this is definitely the one I need, same issues rolling over and I think this will fit nearly edge to edge in the XL tent cot I ordered. Thank you!! Earned a sub!
Original reviewer here: The tent is a Hotcore Mantis 1. Hotcore is pretty good bang for your buck as a mid tier tent. We've used them exclusively for years now.

Slept on mine twice before it developed a leak 2 inches from valve in fabric. Would not recommend.
V rating 1,5 is ok 👌 for summer and early autumn 🍂 motorcycle trip? Thank you
Yeah, low rating and he's on snow. Wonder how that would help.
Nice, agreed. can you tell me your tents name? I'm also 6'3". THANKS

how has it held up since th review ? Any punctures or repairs needed. Any deflation?
The view at 3:53 🥵 damn!
So you don’t need a pump? To blow it up?
Did you watch the video?!
Wait, sleeping bag???
Optional
So, you already forget about this? No follow up review on leaking?
