I bought a pair of these some time back for use when car camping. The TNF Nebula has good headroom and porch space but it's not big enough to fit people sitting on folding stools into. So these were a good solution. With the purchase of a Therm-a-rest NeoAir a few years ago the chair kits fell out of use.Until, that was, someone mentioned that they had been using theirs with their NeoAir. I lost no time scrabbling about the attic looking for them. And as the picture shows you can indeed use a NeoAir. The NeoAir is slightly wider than the kit but it still fits, all you need to do is semi inflate and squeeze into place, remembering to put the valve in the right place should you need to add some more puff - job done. At 300g I would never consider taking one backpacking, however if a trip comes around and we don't have the luxury of a pub to spend the evening in then I may do. Especially if that trip is in the winter.

Therm-a-Rest also make the Compack Chair which works the same way but is slightly more minimalist and hence lighter: 182.4g plus 11.2g for the mesh case. I have used it with 3/4 and full length mats as well as with my full length Neo-Air.
Nice one. I'll look out for one.
I thought one of these chair kits was a good idea - until it trashed my Therm-o-rest. The mattress developed strange lumps where it seemed to delaminate internally. On the good side they replaced the mattress with the latest version without problem... Which I guess is a win :)
like the look of them, sick of having wet bum when i want to rest lol
Cool! It would sure feel great to sit on one of those when taking a break on hikes or when camping out. Thanks for the share.
The therm-a-rest chair kit has helped ensure many evenings around the campsite comfortable. Even managed to fall asleep sitting on it! Didn't realise the bulge that appeared in my therm-a-rest was caused by the chair kit.
