I bought a Neoair for my wife in 2010 (a 25th wedding gift)... hers leaked. REI replaced it, and it's been fine since.

She LOVES the Neoair (Large), and it's revolutionized her backpacking. I borrowed hers last fall to try and found out why she loves it. Just ordered one on closeout yesterday. Again, a size Large... they're luxurious. However, I'll carry a 1/4" Evazote with it... just in case.

Aside, I started using Thermarest's in the 1980's... as was pointed out, inflatables can and do leak so it's always been my policy to have some sort of closed cell backup.

I really like doing business with a Co. that still builds in the USA and has great customer service.

There's Thermarest And All The Rest... Thermarest or Bust. laugh
