G'day Belinda,

In order to deflate these mats, you need to physically squeeze the air out, as it is sitting in the air pockets of the foam. Once you start rolling the mat up the air will push out.

G'day Sian,

Yes you'll be able to fit the Leisure Mat Double inside the Kamp-Rite Double Tent Cot.

G'day Jemma,

I wouldn't advise it mate.  It's very difficult to moderate the amount of air entering the mattress through an electric pump and being self-inflating it has not been designed to accommodate this inflation technique.  The risk of compromising the performance of your mat or damaging it irreparably is high and would not be covered under warranty.  Cheers 

G'day Lachie,

Yeah mate, the Oztrail Leisure Mat Double will fit in your Oztrail Mitchell Expedition Double just fine. It shouldn't be a problem to roll it up but it'll just make the swag a bit bulkier.

G'day Marek,

The Oztrail Leisure Mat Double would be ok in the back of the car at 105cm in width if it's just for the occasional night here or there, but over time it might compress the foam a little which may decrease the life of the unit. I would say it'd be ok occasionally but not all the time.

G'day Rod,

Thanks for the question, the Oztrail Leisure Mat Double that we stock isn't the bonded version so it's hard to say how they compare to the bonded version. They are obviously a slightly different model that we don't currently stock as we have a range of other bonded self inflating mat options available.

G'day Jack,

The valve on the Oztrail Leisure Mat Double is designed to be turned right around. This means that it can be set to inflate only (not letting air escape) or deflate only (no air can get back in). You just need to rotate the valve around to get the inflate only side operating. 

G'day Bruce,

None of us here at Snowys have given it a crack, no. We can't see any reasons why you wouldn't be able to pop an Oztrail Leasure Mat Double in your rooftop tent though. Just make sure that you double check the dimensions of your current mattress, especially thickness, and if the Oztrail fits within those dimensions, then you should be fine. 

G'day Kristy, 

You shouldn't have any issue using this mat on hard river ground, as it's quite a thick mat - just as long as it's inside a tent or swag of course. 

G'day Michel,

What you have described is a new feature of the valve that assists with making the inflate and deflate process a little easier. Depending on how you position the ring, is how the valve controls the flow of air. The benefit here is especially when packing the mat down as the valve will allow for air to exhale, without inhaling air again at the same time.

G'day Jeonghyun,

Oztrail is telling us that we should expect to receive the mats sometime this week. We then process Pre-Orders as soon as they arrive and it takes about 1-3 business days to arrive in Melbourne.

Hi Martin,

I do apologise for the confusion there, what I should have written is that the Oztrail Double 4WD mat will take 1-2 days to inflate the first time you use it. 

After the first inflation, it should take a couple of minutes to be in a fully lofted state, and to pack down it would be a maximum of ten minutes. 

Howdy Greg. Great question on bonded mattresses.

This particular Double 4WD Mat is glued rather than bonded. The benefits of bonding are that the fabric is firmly adhered to the inner foam, providing a bond that prevents ballooning of the mattress when weight is applied to it. This means that the air can only go between you and the ground and aids significantly to its comfort levels and a great nights sleep.

It is highly recommended that a pump is not used to inflate these mattresses as it can compromise the glue or bonding and cause it to separate. Before its first use it is best to unroll and let the mattress self inflate for a few hours to allow the foam to regain its correct characteristics and this will get faster each time you use it.

Cheers!

G'day Jo,

I do apologise for the delay in asnwering your question, I'm not sure what happened there over the weekend. 

I've just looked into this for you, and you can either store the Oztrail 4WD mat in its lofted state under a bed or behind the couch, or you can undo the valves and roll it up for storage - it's totally up to you. 

Leaving it lofted is generally the easier option, as it takes a few days to inflate so it will save you time for future trips.
