But it's not very thick, so not the most comfortable nights sleep. That's the flip side of easy and fast inflation. When I replace it I will probably go with something thicker and more comfortable.
They have changed the valve. I'm not sure which I like better. I have spent more nights on my old one that you have and it is still working well. I may apply a little silicone grease to it since it is getting harder to unscrew and open, but other than that it works well. There is nothing physically wrong with the valve, and it still holds air just fine.
The new valve is odd. It is larger in diameter, and it flips out and over to deflate. Truly odd, and I am not sure I like it, but it works. I just haven't used it as much to assess its reliability yet.
