Well, the Therma-rests aren't altogether impervious to punctures either.
Gotta be careful with them.
The chair kit adds a lot of extra protection (I've had mine for a couple
years and I haven't had a leak yet).
BUT- that air core is something like 3 inches thick! Gotta love THAT!

Dave's got one and he loves it!

But how durable are the air-core.  I've had other "high-end" air
mattresses that soon let me down.
