Sounds like a cheaper version of the NeoAir XLite I was looking into a while back:

Yep, I'm sure you can spend more and save grams, just wanted to shout out for the comfort and convenience/packability...

I've got the slightly heavier duty version of that one. You can get a small light pump for it that runs off a single AA battery which is pretty handy. Leave it for a couple of minutes while you're sorting other stuff out and it's pretty much ready to go. Combined they pack down smaller and lighter than a foam roll.

On a very different level of extremity, I've been touring with one of these and they're so comfortable, light and pack down so small I can't see why I'd choose anything else. It takes 2 mins to inflate, which surely isn't that much of a penalty? Never feel the floor through them (even when basically lying on logs/bricks) and get a great night's sleep. Yoga mats/self-inflating mats never give me that level of comfort, which I value over the two mins of inflation... I guess potential problem is they could puncture, but if you have a repair kit there's no massive risk and they seem pretty sturdy...
