I'm interested in getting a 25" wide BA Q Core – the extra weight is worth it to me for what I assume will result in better sleep. There's one for a good price on e-bay right now but it looks like they may have grossly overinflated it and possibly damaged it- it's ballooned on one side (the valve side) and looks like it's inflated to about 7" thick there. Here's the link:

So am I right in thinking this isn't a good deal because this "gently used" Q Core is damaged, or is that normal for a 25" wide model? Is it like for a pillow?

REI has the $20 bonus card if you spend $100. I would want that iron clad warranty when buying an air pad.
There have been rumors on the usual 20% dividend sale but it should be coming up next month. It might be worth the wait.
Feb 26, 2013 at 10:16 am #1958884That's a good idea. I hate to pay retail but you're most likely right that getting that ironclad warranty on an air pad is a good idea and makes it worth the money. And if I can get the 20% off that would be helpful.
