LOL, I'm afraid I fit that category...I have sciatica and can hike all day but sitting kills me! I recently bought a similar cushion, a NeoAir with the same dimensions but 2.5 deep and 2 oz. R factor 2.5, double the price, and not self-inflating. I've used it once, and can't say I was thrilled with it, but will give it another shot.
