Do Dometic provide an R-Value for their inbuilt Mattress?

G'day Mat,
Dometic doesn't provide an R-value for this mattress sorry.

Mattress removal1 answer
Can the integrated mattress be removed and say a Megamat used in place? Or is the mattress too "built in" and any other mattress would have to be used on top?
Mat - Corlette, NSW(1 year ago)
Hey there Mat.
Short answer is yes you can. If you have a look at the features video from 7:45 to 9:00 minutes, Ben talks about being able to use a different mat and take the intergrated one out if you like. You would more than likely need to take your mat out when packing up though, so everything fits back into the carry bag.

Stretcher Suitability1 answer
Hi Team, I have a Coleman Swagger instant stretcher. Would this swag work with that stretcher? The stretcher has the pins with it an would be interesting to know if they fit onto the swag peg points
Matt - Lake Grace, WA(1 year ago)
G'day Matt,
The Swag would fit on top of the stretcher but we have not tried to match up the Swag peg points on this. You would just need to make sure the guy ropes and corners are pegged out to create stability in the swag.

Could a sleeping bag or thin doona and sheet be left inside it and it still be folded up?
Fiona - Bairnsdale, VIC(1 year ago)
G'day Fiona,
Yes you could leave a thin sleeping bag or sheet inside and roll this up and would be able to connect the straps. Depending on how thick the blankets are you may or may not be able to fit this back in the bag provided.

Mattress 1 answer
Hi, how comfortable in the mattress?
Heath - Bunbury, WA (1 year ago)
G'day Heath,
Comfort is always a hard one to answer because its so subjective and also depends on the individual's size, weight, etc This swag has an inflating 5cm thick air mattress built in. There won't be any insulation, so that will need to be factored in, in terms of comfort in cold weather. For me personally 5cm isn't thick enough, but I'm a curvy side sleeper, and on the heavier side...but I've had some colleagues test it out who don't think its too bad. I'd say the benefits of the swag as a whole design outweigh the possibility of having to add an extra mattress in if it's not comfortable enough for you - that tends to be the case with almost all other swag brands aswell.

Stretcher suitability1 answer
Would this be suitable on a stretcher? Any recommendations for a suitable one?
Darren - Blackheath, NSW (1 year ago)
G'day Darren,
Thats an excellent question, and not one we've had yet!
As these are fairly new to use we haven't been able to try them out on a stretcher, and haven't had any feedback from customers who have, so it's just our best guess. Ideally these will need to be pegged out to keep good tension, as they're a lighter weight canvas they not as stiff as traditional swags. The webbing straps at the anchor points on each end are also looped to the window gussets, so I dont think there will be enough length to peg down to the ground and also have the gussets open properly. You may be able to overcome this with some extra guy rope or chord.
Something like the Oztrail Easy Fold Jumbo or the Oztent King Goanna would be ideal. They're the longest options without being to wide, and should line up with the Pico
