This is Dick's Sporting Good's version of a closed cell camping pad. It's thin, but all of them are thin. If you are > 175 lbs, don't bother with this as your only pad. It's also not that long (71 inches), so if you are over 5'10" you will probably have your feet or your pillow off the pad. I wish they would include an R-rating for the insulation. The best way that I've seen to use this is to combine it with other pads. On a cold night it adds extra insulation. My 9 year-old son tried it camping and didn't like the way it felt under him at first. I added a flannel sleeping bag liner between him and his sleeping bag and he thought it was perfect. It kept him warm when the weather dropped into the 20's. For the price, it's probably as good as the competition for comfort. It may even be as good for insulation.
