G'day Jenny,

The Darche Swag mattresses aren't properly tested for an R-value rating, the foam in a swag mat is open cell and constructed quite differently to self-inflating mats of similar thickness. I'd say you're probably looking at around 2 as an absolute guess.
You can help raise that by using a yoga mat or something similar underneath, or even folded woollen blankets.

Update! We now have the Darche XL 1400 available for pre-order with no centre bar, perfect for swags!

G'day Robert,

We carry a universal swag ridgepole by Oztrail here, however, if you want a Darche specific pole, you can grab them from Darche directly.

G'day Carolina,

You can definately pop a 1400 swag on a stretcher, however, all of the double-width stretchers have a bar running down the centre, so you'll end up with two fairly distinct hollows on either side for each person. If that works for you, then the Oztrail Easy Fold Queen Stretcher and the Kamp-Rite Queen Kwik Cot are good options that will fit the width of this swag.

G'day James,

The floorspace area of the swag is 215L x 140W cm, so the majority of these double & queen self-inflating camp mats will work - except for the Kozi Queen & 3D Hexatherm Queen which are too wide.
Give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 if you need any further help refining your mattress choice!

G'day Jarryd,

I'm not 100% sure what you are referring too - do you mean the alloy swag poles on previous models?
If so, these CP model Darche swags use composite poles instead of alloy.
They've only been around for the last month or so.
