How comfortable is this on a hard lumpy ground?

Did not use on hard lumpy ground. Used it on the plywood floor of a trailer - very comfortable. It also helped with the cold.

I've camped on rocky uneven ground overlain with tundra moss with the Neo-Air X-therm, and I was oblivious to the numerous small lumps, rocks, and tuffs of vegetation underneath. It is plenty thick enough to absorb all but the biggest bumps. However, since it is an inflatable pad, I would always make an effort to remove sharp rocks from your tent area before setting up your pad. But it is just as comfortable on moderately lumpy, uneven terrain as it would be if you set it up on your bedroom floor.

The ground under it makes no difference. It just depends on how much you fill it. I don't think it's as comfortable as the other thermarests though as you're sleeping on an air mattress rather than the closed-cell. I would definitely recommend getting the full length. Weight and warmth though are top notch.

Yes, It is comfortable once you get it on.. Once loaded, I place mine on my workbench and back into it. I'm 67 so picking up a fully loaded sprayer & throwing it over my shoulder just ain't gonna happen.

It is firm but not hard. It's memory foam - so it keeps its shape well but it's squishy and comfortable.

Yes, it is more comfortable when inclined or in ZeroG position. We found we needed to stick some extra padding around the small of the back as well.

Yes,it is comfortable before it inflates. The inflation is minimal- it is more foam than air.

I find it better than the ground. I use a blanket for a littile more warmth lining and cushion. The only real drawback is the bar down the center. Its also large. But it makes my week of camping comfortable.

Mine feels quite soft. I find it very comfortable. Firmness is relative and subjective though and I don't know what your original feels like.

It does not seem to loose it's firmness. I guess if you sat or slept in one spot it may eventual get a dent, but mine has not yet. Keep it covered, clean and away from direct sunlight. The sunlight will breakdown the foam after a while so I keep it covered.

It's very bumpy, sort of like soft pebbles. It's decently thick for the price. It's not what I would consider "padded" though

It's pretty comfortable, but that would be up to you. It is as comfortable as any cot I have used.

It's very firm! Beware if you want it to cushion...it's very supportive and not cushiony.

When you lie on it its quite firm. But as it has springs when you sit on it it might seem to be softer as all your weight is at one point.

Its comfortable, but you'll definitely need a pillow. The hand rest's are low.

it's definitely better than a futon mattress, but it doesn't bend very well, so if you just laying flat, it will be perfect for it!

So far it's very comfortable. Not so soft you sink into it and not so hard that it's uncomfortable.

I don't have another memory foam mattress to compare this one against; but I would consider it a firm comfort level. It conforms to my body, but I don't sink down far into the mattress.

It's pretty firm, but I'm sure it would soften up with use.....but maybe not to the squishy point.
