Compact in the car, luxurious in the tent, the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Self Inflating Mat is the most comfortable mat in Deluxe Mat range from Black Wolf. 10cm of thickness and more width than the Super Deluxe means you will be warm and comfortable in any climate, on any surface.
The self-inflating design means you can put your rolled mat in your tent, and the one-way valve will inflate the mat for you. For those who sleep comfortably on a firmer surface, attach the included storage sack to a valve and use it as a pump to add a little extra air.
Soft stretchy Microstretch poly/cotton upper fabric and a non-slip base laminates to antifungal CFC free foam, and Velcro strips run down each side enabling you to join two mats together. Complete with a repair kit, you can rest peacefully in the outdoors on a Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Mat.
How long will it take to inflate at a camping trip to size you sleep on once you have done initial setup at home for a few weeks to let it expand
Brendan - Maryland newcastle (5 years ago)
G'day Brendan,
Once you've let it inflate initially you should expect it to inflate within 30-60 mins. This will generally depend on the weather and how you store the mat at home.

Darche Dusk to Dawn 14001 answer
Hi, do you know if 2 of these will fit the dusk to dawn 1400? The swag has a bit of give so I am not sure.
Chris - Yeppoon (5 years ago)
G'day Chris,
The short answer is probably not, we've had a bit of a go with a mega deluxe and a super deluxe (we didn't have two display models the same)and while they fit, we probably wouldn't recommend it as the mats push up against the canvas a fair bit. You might find that it leads to the sides leaking if you did something like this. The Mega Deluxe Double Mat is probably a slightly better option.

Repairs1 answer
Do you know what the material of the non slip base is? I need to repair a tear but ran out of material in the repair kit Thanks
Mel - Camden(5 years ago)
G'day Mel,
We'd suggest using Seam Grip to repair the base if it's a small tear/hole, but if it is larger (5c coin or larger) we'd probably suggest a combination of seam grip and repair patches. You could use a Sleeping Mat Repair Kit from Sea to Summit.

Black Wolf or Zempire Monstamat1 answer
I’m looking at getting 2 x mats and would like to know which mat has the better build quality and likely to offer better cushioning and comfort in the long term? Also what are the warranties on both and what is covered?
Matt - Perth(6 years ago)
G'day Matt,
They're both really great mats of similar quality. The main difference is in the construction, with the 3D build of the Zempire Monstamat being similar to a mattress with side walls. I personally find the Monstamat more comfortable, but a quick straw poll around the office seems to show a fairly even divide bewteen the two. Probably not helpful sorry! The valves in both mats allow for easy fine tuning of firmness, which is handy. Overall my assesment is that the Mega Deluxe Camp Mat is the firmer of the two.
We cant really speak to the longevity of the Zempire Monstamat as its a fairly new product we've only had for around 6 months, but the customer feedback is so far so good. The Mega Deluxe Camp Mat also has great reviews and has been around for years, one of my collegues has had hers for 4 years still going strong.
Warranties essentially cover manufacturing faults. The Zempire warranty period is 1 year, where the Black Wolf has a limited lifetime warranty. Anything considered fair wear and tear will not be covered.

Will this mattress fit inside a Oztent bunker stretcher?1 answer
Eg. After it has been used several times, inflated, slept on and deflated several times. What is the circular dimension is use. I currently have several 4WD mats and the in use rolled up size is problematic in terms of fitting everything in my car.
Dereck - Kilsyth South(6 years ago)
G'day Dereck,
I've wandered downstairs and packed up our display model for you. I did my usual double roll, once to get the bulk of the air out and again to get it rolled up neatly and the circumference measured 70cm, or roughly 20cm high x 20cm wide.

What is the maximum weight that the Black Wolf & Exped camp mats can hold?1 answer
Hi wanting to purchase one of either of these mats to go camping with inside my swag, but my husband would need a mat that could handle 140 KG
Andrea - Wee Waa(7 years ago)
G'day Andrea,
There are no formal weight limits on either the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat or the Exped Megamat. I would be very comfortable though that you wouldn't have any issues with 140kg on them. They're incredibly good mats that would have more pressure than that going through them when they're rolled up for storage.

Best way to store it? 1 answer
Whats the best way to store the megadelux mat? Is rolled up ok or will it damage it long term. Does the way it’s stored affect blackwolf warranty at all?
Jez - Sydney(7 years ago)
G'day Jez,
You won't have any issues storing your Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat rolled up. The only side-effect will be that it takes a little longer to inflate if it's been left rolled up for a long time. The way it's stored won't affect the warranty, unless you store it in the rain or something of course.
Ben - Snowys(7 years ago)
Will this fit on my oztent gecko stretcher1 answer
We already have a gecko stretcher will this mattress fit
matt - PORT MAQCQUARIE(7 years ago)
G'day Matt,
The Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat is about 8cm longer than the Oztent Gecko Stretcher, this will mean that the camp mat will hang over the ends slightly but should still work perfectly fine on the stretcher.

Warranty return1 answer
If I purchase a BW mega deluxe and have a warranty issue. It has to be returned to place of purchase with original receipt. Would I have to cover the shipping cost?
Mike - Sydney(7 years ago)
G'day Mike,
If you have any warranty issues with the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat, you won't need to worry about having to pay for any postage to get it back to us. We usually get the ball rolling by just asking for a couple of photos of the issue and then go from there. If we need to get it back at all, then we will cover that in the case of a warranty claim.
Ben - Snowys(7 years ago)
Exped or Blackwolf1 answer
I’m 120KGs and interested in buying two. Which option would suit me better in terms of comfort and cushioning? I’ve seen the videos but it doesn’t really get into the detail on which unit is more puncture resistant, which has the better quality foam and external material (e.g. ripstop, more durable base etc) and which would handle a puncture better in terms of amount of internal foam and hold up better without air. The exped sounds great but seems to be much softer without air? Thanks
Jez - Sydney(7 years ago)
G'day Jez,
At risk of sounding like I'm sitting on the fence a little, they're both really great mattresses. We would sell more of the Exped Megamats than the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat and wouldn't get any more of them returned, which might be a bit of a sign of their durability. It's also worth noting the limited lifetime warranty on the Black Wolf which gives you peace of mind. I would say though that the Black Wolf is probably slightly firmer when there's no air in it, so if you got a puncture, you'd probably have a slightly better sleep on the Black Wolf.

Is there a big gap when two are joined together?1 answer
We are looking at getting two instead singles of a double. Just curious if there is a big gap in-between or if it's well suited for two people under one blanket.
Sonke - Darlingurst(7 years ago)
G'day Sonke,
The Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mats do tend to taper off a little bit at the edges, this does cause a bit of a lip when you put two mats together. Generally speaking, they are great for two people to join two together but they're maybe not great for cuddling your partner as you'll find yourself lying in the crevice.

How long till new mat is useable1 answer
We got delivery of a new mat 3 days ago and unrolled it and opened the valves straight away.
It still hasn't inflated more than about 2 cms. How long should it normally take to be useable and is there anything else we need to do?
John - Spreyton(7 years ago)
G'day John,
It definitely shouldn't take 3 days to get your Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat to inflate. Black Wolf have recently upgraded their valves to make them a one-way valve, only ever letting air in or air out. It might be worth double checking that the second layer of the valve is around the right way to allow the air to come into the mat.
Ben - Snowys(7 years ago)
How long till new mat is useable1 answer
We received a new mat three days ago. We unrolled it and have had it laying on the floor and it doesn't seem to have expanded at all. How long should it take for a brand new mat and is there anything that needs to be done to help things?
John - SOUTH SPREYTON(7 years ago)
G'day Pete,
It definitely shouldn't take 3 days to get your Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat to inflate. Black Wolf have recently upgraded their valves to make them a one-way valve, only ever letting air in or air out. It might be worth double checking that the second layer of the valve is around the right way to allow the air to come into the mat. If the valve is on the right way and it's inflating a little but not a lot, then I'd suggest giving it a few blows with your mouth to help get the air flowing.

Warranty period?1 answer
Is this lifetime warranty or limited lifetime warranty? Conflicting description in details section.
Yvonne - Hackney(7 years ago)
Black Wolf call if a Lifetime Warranty Yvonne, but there are always some limitations which is why we often add the word 'limited' to the warranty on products claiming a lifetime warranty.
Even in Black Wolf's Warranty terms, they claim it to be a limited warranty. Long story short, a Lifetime or Limited Lifetime Warranty is limited to only covering manufacturing defects for the life of the product.
If a product is just worn out or has been damaged through misuse, it won't be covered by this warranty. You can read all the limitations in the link above. I hope that makes sense.

Can I inflate this up with a 12v pump?1 answer
I wanted and air bed for my swag but they are too high (20cm+) and transfer the cold. I like this option as it is 10CM, but I just want to know if I can top it up with a volume 12v air pump.
Steve - Aberfoyle Park(8 years ago)
G'day Steve,
This mat is not designed to be used with a 12V pump, so it's not something we would recommend, as you don't want to overinflate the mat and cause damage. The Mega Deluxe comes with a bag, so you can use that to top it up if you need some extra air.

Thermal protection1 answer
Can anyone comment if it has good thermal insulation, or do we need a blanket between the matt and the sleeping bag?
digs - 5250(8 years ago)
G'day Digs,
This camp mat has an r-value ( a measure of thermal resistance) of 9.5 which is really quite high so you shouldn't need anything extra for insulation.

Best sleeping arrangement for car camping1 answer
As a novice camper, I'm trying to decide on a sleeping arrangement for an upcoming 8 night summer camping trip. I will be able to park close to site for set-up (and pack-down), and my priority is comfort (over a budget buy). Because of the likely wet weather conditions during my trip, I've been looking at a self-inflating sleeping mat to go on a stretcher (stretcher sizes either 65cm W x 190cm L; or 80cm W x 205cm L). I'm pretty sure my tent is a Coleman Overlander 4P tent - hardly used, big for just me, but I don't want to buy a new tent just for this trip. Along with the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe, I'm considering the Exped Megamat, Darche ATM 900, or maybe even an airbed...any advice for me please? I'm only 152cm tall so don't need a long mat - but appreciate the comfort of a wider mat. Thank you!
Mel - Brisbane(8 years ago)
G'day Mel,
I know it can be hard to navigate all the different kinds of mats and airbeds when you're new to camping, so I'll try not to confuse you!
In terms of using it with the stretcher dimensions you’ve given - the All Terrain 900 is 195L x 90W so it will hang over a bit on both those stretcher sizes. All three of these mats are going to overhang on a stretcher that’s 65W x 190L, but they should all be fine to use in an Overlander 4P tent.
I would say that the most comfortable mat in our range is the Exped Megamat, followed closely by the Mega Deluxe from Black Wolf. The Darche is thinner and will provide less insulation and warmth in comparison to the Megamat and Mega Deluxe – so it’s definitely going to be a step down in terms of comfort, as it sits in the middle of the range.
I would say that if comfort is a priority, choose between the Mega Deluxe and the Megamat.
From feeling those two in store, the main difference is that the Megamat is even all the way to the edges - so it feels more like an ordinary mattress, whereas the Black Wolf tapers at the edge. The Megamat also feels slightly softer – so I would say that would be the winner for comfort and quality.Â

Does it come with a strap to hold the rolled mat tight?1 answer
Strap to hold the rolled mat tight
Dagne - WA(8 years ago)
G'day Dagne,
I've just checked this for you, and the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat doesn't come with a strap. However, it does come with a carry bag rolled up inside the mat which you can use to keep it rolled up when not in use.Â
Emily - Snowys(8 years ago)
number of valves1 answer
Just checking the mat is only supposed to have the one valve? The description mentions two?
mark - berowra heights(8 years ago)
G'day Mark,
I've just checked this against the display model we have instore, and the Black Wolf catalogue and you are right - there is only one valve on the Mega Deluxe Camp Mat.Â
We must have missed that when we updated the product, so I do apologise - I hope this hasn't inconvenienced you too much.
I've updated the description to reflect the correct details, so hopefully everything is in order now.Â
Emily - Snowys(8 years ago)
I use my mega Deluxe mattress all the time in my swag - about 5 months of the year. The valve are getting increasingly hard to open and close. Is there anything I can do about this?1 answer
Prue - Sedan(9 years ago)
I haven't had anyone report this sort of problem before Prue. It may be that it needs a little lubricant to make it easier to tighten, a small dab of Vaseline should do the trick. If this doesn't help, then give us a call so we can find out some more details of the issues you're having.

Summer sleeping1 answer
Are these a winter only use, or can you use these in summer. I'm just wondering if it makes you feel a bit too hot on a warm night.
Joanne - , (9 years ago)
These are good for warm weather too Joanne, they will insulate from warm ground as well as cold. An air mattress will always be colder to sleep on as it does not retain your body warmth in the mat, but the self inflating mats certainly don't make you hot, they just minimize heat or cold transfer through the mat, it's what you have over the top of you that will make the difference here.
Ben - Snowys(9 years ago)
Inflation time 1 answer
I have recently brought a double swag and iam looking for a self-inflating mattress to put on top of the foam mattress. Does the single Mega Delux inflate much quicker than the double? Also iam about 185cm tall and 84kgs, would i be just as comfy on a single as on a double?
Jonty - NOWRA, NSW(9 years ago)
It takes a little longer Jonty simply due to the larger amount of air required, but there's not much difference. As for comfort, they both offer the same padding and insulation, if you want lots of space to spread out then a double is going to offer more comfort, and given you have the space in your swag you might as well fill it up!
Ben - Snowys(9 years ago)
I do all my sleeping in a swag, will it be alright to roll it up in my swag and keep it there?1 answer
Cameron - ARMIDALE, NSW(9 years ago)
Hi Cameron, yes you can roll this mat up in your swag. However as the Black Wolf mats have 2 way valves for inflation/deflation, you would need to open the valves, roll up the swag and then reach back in to close the valves again, otherwise it will reinflate inside your rolled swag, The Exped Megamat is a better option inside the swag as it has separate valves for inflation and deflation, so once you've opened the deflate valve you can roll the swag up and the valve does not need to be closed. Keep in mind that any self inflating mat should be stored flat when not in use for extended periods of time, otherwise the foam will compress and will not inflate properly - it would need to be pumped up by hand if you wanted to use it straight away after being rolled up for a long time.

Could i fit this mat on top of the blackwolf turbo bed?1 answer
Btw do you sell the blackwolf turbo bed?
Dagne - western Australia(9 years ago)
Dagne, we used to sell the Turbo Bed but that was discontinued by Black Wolf sometime last year and we no longer have any stock. The Mega Deluxe Mat is about 7cm wider than the Turbo bed, so it would not be a great fit. It would be better to have a stretcher that is slightly larger than the mat, so that it sits on there nicely, and the Oztent King Goanna stretcher would do the job nicely.

How do I clean spills on the mattress?1 answer
My son spilt his drink on the top of the mattress. What is the best way to clean it?
Charles - BRISBANE CITY, QLD(9 years ago)
Just warm soapy water Charles, I don't recommend dousing it in any harsh chemicals as this could affect the materials. There are cleaners on the market from brands like Nikwax that are also suitable.
