G'day Col,

Yes the dark grey side is best suited for the top of the mattress and better for sleeping on, the bottom side is the Puncture Guard Laminate material and best on the ground. 

G'day Kez,

This mattress will be a little too wide for the stretcher, whilst that isn't a problem for self-inflating mat options, it's not suitable for an air mattress.
Generally wouldn't recommend an air mattress on a stretcher, but if that is your preference it would be better to find one that fits within the dimensions of the stretcher itself.
Hope that helps.

G'day Eason,

You use your hand to gauge mattress firmness whilst inflating, and stop once it becomes hard enough.
Similar to blowing up a balloon, you need to use your best judgement.

G'day Jeff,

You could store this mattress in a compression sack, however, as the fabric isn't compressible you won't get any of the features of a compression sack. You could store it in a Stuff Sac, we'd recommend the Large Size.

G'day Ally,

I'm not too sure how much space you'll have in a RAV4, but as long as the dimensions of the mattress fit then it could be a good option. One thing to consider is that an air mattress might be prone to punctures in the rear of a car, generally, there are lots of things in the back of cars that are fairly sharp and could damage it. We'd recommend looking at some of the mattresses in the self-inflating mattress category as an alternative. In terms of pumps for the air mattress, there are lots of options in manual, powered or re-chargeable that will suit, you can check them out here.

G'day Warren,

It's a tough one to be honest, airbeds are best for spring and summer camping, as the air inside the bed will drop to the same as the air temperature, or even lower if the ground is quite cold. You could try putting a survival blanket or similar under the airbed, and then a blanket or mattress topper on the top, however, this will have limited a limited effect. The best solution is to grab yourself an insulated mat for camping in the cooler months.

G'day Matt,

I've just given this a quick whirl for you. The pump from the Darche Air-Volution Swag did work with the Coleman All Terrain XL Single Airbed. It didn't completely seal in the valve but it was near enough that I could get it pumped up. 

G'day Jonathahn,

I just gave this a crack with our display models and yes, you will be able to pump up your Coleman All Terrain XL Single Airbed with your Zempire Double Action Pump. 

G'day Sarah,

The Coleman All Terrain XL Single Airbed isn't self-inflating, no. If you were wanting to make pumping a little easier then any of the Coleman electric or manual pumps would work a treat. 

G'day Mel,

I'd recommend a king single sheet for the Coleman All Terrain XL Single Airbed.
