I picked it up, it didn't feel any hevaier than some of the others we had looked at, and they had all required that we blow them up using only our lung capacity, or that we bring along a pump, which would take up valuable backpack space and add additional (albeit minimal) weight to our packs. I presented my offering to my companion, "and (at 20 pounds) it's cheaper than the others!" He surveyed the box, noting the dimensions (191 x 140 x 23). It would fit easily inside our tent, it was just about long enough to support my lover's height, and, while it was 10...
