Instead of stressing about leaks or punctures in your mattress, add a Leisure Mat Queen Self Inflating Mattress from OZtrail to your set up.
This mat will stay in a lofted state even if it gets a hole, so you’ll never have to wake up to the cold hard floor of your tent. The top of the Leisure Mat is a softly brushed velour which is easy to clean, and it has high-density open cell foam for plenty of comfort. The boxed wall side construction adds edge support and helps speed up inflation, and the high flow two-way flip valve reduces inflation time, helps prevent air loss, and makes rolling it up easier.
This mat also comes with storage straps and a carry bag for packing up and transporting it back from the campsite. For a reliable night’s sleep on your next car camping expedition, the OZtrail Leisure Mat Queen Self-Inflating Mat is the easy choice.
Hi there, is this a bonded self-inflating mattress? tia
G'day Donna,
The Oztrail Leisure Mats aren't bonded.
Can this mattress be deflated with a 12v airbed pump?
G'day Steve,
The Leisure Mat Queen isn't really designed to be deflated with a pump. If you open up the valve and fold the mat over you can push out most of the air before you begin rolling it up.
prefer a bag not so tight
G'day Peter,
To be honest, there aren't many options when it comes to bags that size. Our best suggestion would be to check out some of the swag bags. The Swag Bag - Wide Double or AOS Swag Bag - Queen are the two largest bags we carry, so either option should fit your mat, but will probably give you a similar amount of room to the original bag.
What are the dimensions when it is deflated and packed in the carry bag?
G'day Jeffrey,
The packed dimensions of the Queen Leisure Mat when they're new are 155L x 30W x 30H cm. Once you've unrolled it and allowed it to inflate they will roll up a fair bit larger, the bag size is quite loose when they're new, so realistically I would allow for an extra 15-20cm in diameter.
Will this queen size fit a Big Daddy Deluxe swag?
G'day Garrick,
We don't stock the Big Daddy swag however if the measurements are larger than the Oztrail Mattress which measures 195 x 150 then it should fit no worries!

G'day John,
The Leisure Mat Queen is a self inflating style mat with a flap valve, however if you had a 12V pump you could use one of these to help inflate the mattress.
Was wondering what the deflated thickness is? was hoping to be able to roll in my matress? thanks
G'day J,
The Leisure Mat Queen mat doesn't have a measured deflated thickness but having had a play with one of these the deflated thickness tends to be about 5-6cm thick, I'm not sure what you mean when you say 'was hoping to be able to roll in my mattress?' as the item is a mattress, but I'll leave it with you.
Hi, just wondering does this mattress come with a carry bag for protection when travelling or for when stored away?
G'day Dave,
The Oztrail Leisure Mat Queen absolutely does come with a carry bag. You can safely store these mats rolled up in the carry bag but one comment worth mentioning is the foam does overtime develop a 'memory' of being in that compressed state so it's a good idea to unroll the mat a week or so before you head off on a trip to allow the mat to regain that inflated memory.
Hi i was just wondering once the mat is fully inflated what is the length x height x width of the mattress, just wanting to compare fully inflated mattresses as some mattresses are thicker than others ?
G'day Ashlee,
The Oztrail Leisure Mat Queen measures 195cm long x 150cm wide x 10cm thick.
I’ve read that self-inflating mats should be stored inflated, not rolled up. That’s a bit awkward for us - No room for an extra fully-inflated queen sized mattress. Can you safely store the mat rolled up? Should we then let it re-inflate for a week or so before each camping trip? Many thanks for any experience/advice.
G'day Julie,
You're pretty much spot on there. You can safely store these mats rolled up but the foam will develop a 'memory' of being in that compressed state so it's a good idea to grab them out a week before you head off to allow them to 'remember' their uncompressed state. Whilst I'm sure it's a bit better in the long run to store them un-rolled, I've always kept mine rolled up in a cupboard and it's never caused me any problems. Just leave the valve open in case it gets warm and the air inside expands.
Having read the reviews, the Leisure Mat sounds great from a comfort perspective however as I am a solo (female) camper I'm wondering if it's going to be too difficult to roll up on my own. Also would it fit okay in a VW Golf as some of the reviews say it's quite bulky?
G'day Katrina,
The Oztrail Leisure Mat Queen certainly is comfortable, however, it might be a little tricky to pack up solo, and it is quite bulky at 155cmL x 30cm diameter when it's rolled up so would only fit in your golf with the back seats down flat. You might be better off with a self-inflating mat that will fold in half then roll so will only end up around 70cmL x 25cm diameter. A few good options would be the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Double, Exped Megamat Duo 10, or the Sea to Summit DLX SI Sleeping Mat Double.
The instructions in this item say 'Do not leave valve closed when not lying on mattress.' Does that mean each time before you lie down you close the valves, and when you get up you always need to re-open them?
G'day Paula,
On rare occasions, especially in an Aussie summer, the heat that can build up inside your tent could cause the air inside the mat to expand and cause it to burst (or damage the inner glues/materials). So it's always a good idea to pop the valve open in the morning just to avoid coming back to a bad nights sleep! In cooler weather you're ok but it's a good habit to get into anyway.
Curious as to whether the Oz trail queen mat would fit inside the Oz trail queen stretcher?
G'day Madison,
From comparing the dimensions, it would seem that the Oztrail Queen Leisure mat will fit onto the Oztrail Easy Fold Queen Stretcher.
But you might want to keep in mind that Oztrail stretcher features a middle bar, so if you use a double or queen mat on top it will
Two single mats or the Zempire Bomberpad Twin (which folds in the middle) might be good alternatives to consider.
Just wondering how warm is this mattress? I own the blackwolf double mattress which is very warm and perfect for all the snow/winter camping we do.
G'day Agi,
Oztrail haven't provided an R-Value rating for this particular mat so it's a little tricky to give you a solid answer.
But if we had to take a guess we would say that it would perform similarly in terms of insulation to other 10cm camping mats that we have in our range - such as the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Double that you have, which is the same thickness.
Can this mattress be folded in half and rolled for storage.
G'day Lisa,
Whilst it is possible to fold the Oztrail Leisure Mat Queen in half before rolling it, it does make it very hard to roll and then store. I'd recommend just rolling it without folding it in half.
How much weight is the mat designed to carry in KG?
G'day Flo,
The Oztrail Leisure Mat Queen doesn't come with any official weight rating. Given that it's a foam filled mattress, it should be able to hold a lot of weight without any issues at all.
G'day Flo,
Given that the air is just used to fill the foam inside the mat, as opposed to an air mattress that is only air, it shouldn't make much of a difference, no.
I am considering buying this for camping with my kids, my only concern after reading the reviews is will it fit in my car and is it possible to roll up on my own?
G'day Julia,
Whether or not the Oztrail Leisure Mat Queen fits into your car depends a fair bit on what car you've got. As for rolling it up, I've actually got one of these and have no issues rolling it up on my own. Although, I should mention that I can't get it rolled up quite as tight on my own as when I'm doing it with someone else.
G'day Julia,
From what my research shows, I reckon you should be able to fit an Oztrail Leisure Mat Queen in your Kia Sportage.
It fits along the back seat of a Hyundai Getz GL
We have just had this delivered in the normal speedy Snowy's manner. I just wanted to check about the firmness of the mat. I have had it open for 3 days in pretty warm weather, and it seems to have inflated fully. It is not anywhere near as firm as a thermarest that would have had some extra lung pressure in it. When we lie on it hips aren't quite hitting the ground, but if we get up our elbows & knees will feel the ground. I just want to check this is normal? I have read not to add any extra pressure via inflation tools. Seems like it will be comfortable enough to sleep on, testing it out in a week.
G'day Alexis,
This is normal for the Oztrail Queen 4wd mat. As the PVC is not bonded to the foam, you don't get the same type of even air distribution as you would with a bonded mat. Having said that, these mats may take up to a week to fully expand upon first use.
I'm new to camping and want a mattress to sleep straight on the tent floor and have been told blow up mattresses can get quite cold. Is a 4x4 mat like this good for sleeping straight on the ground?
G'day Elise,
While the Oztrail 4WD Mat is an entry level sleeping mat, they are very rugged and can easily be placed on the ground. The foam insert within the mat offers a little more insulation against the cold compared to the air mattresses, the only downside is that the 4WD mat packs down much larger.
When considering warmth, remember that there are many variables including body temperature, material insulation (eg. sleeping bag) and many other factors which you'll need to consider.
Hi. Just wondering if this would suit the queen stretcher that you have for sale?
G'day Lauren,Â
The Oztrail Queen 4WD mat will fit on the Oztrail Easy Fold Queen Stretcher, but that particular stretcher has a bar in the middle so a double/queen mat will be raised in the middle on top of this stretcher.Â
If that's going to bother you, a better option might be the Zempire Bomberpad Twin Mattress, as the design of that mat will eliminate that peak in the middle that some people find annoying or uncomfortable.Â
Are these any less comfortable than the black wolf mats? Do they have fewer features or is the price difference purely a reflection of brand name?
G'day Mark. There are a few differences between the Black Wolf & Oztrail 4wd mats. The Oztrail 4wd mat is a great budget option, however the Black Wolf mat does has some additional features that the Oztrail mat does not. In terms of the comfort, I would consider the Black Wolf mat to be more comfortable due to the better quality foam used. The Black Wolf mat also is about half the weight of the Oztrail, and packs down to half the size so it's a lot more manageable when packing the car. Also Oztrail only offer a 1 year warranty, whereas Black Wolf offer a limited lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects. These are some of the reasons why you'll pay more for the Black Wolf mat, but it's a good investment if you can afford it :)Â
