G'day James, 

I've just had a look at the care instructions on the bag, and it advises to use a soft brush or sponge with fresh water and mild detergent, and then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly before storing away.

G'day Greg. The inside of this mat is foam and air, so it does have some insulation properties, however the air itself will allow some cooling of the mat. Because you are not directly on the ground with this mat you will find that it is warmer than sleeping directly on the ground on a sleeping bag. One great way of ensuring a warmer nights sleep is to put a blanket between you and the mat itself, which will increase the warmth in your bag considerably. Cheers!

Hi Katie. On first inflation after a period of being stored, the mattress will take some time to reinflate - anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on how long they have been stored for. If they are stored inflated and only rolled when you are ready to go camping, they will inflate in a very short time. A good place to store them is under the bed - you can keep them flat and out of the way ready for use.

Adding air won't do any good with these mats Roann, the exterior isn't bonded to the outer fabric and extra air will just cause it to balloon up. Deflating wouldn't be any quicker with a pump either, you're best just using a bit of muscle and sitting on them to squeeze the air out. The foam inside is quite firm and offers plenty of comfort and support without the need for extra air.

G'day Manfred - The description on this product could probably use with a bit of a refresh. If you happen to get a puncture in one of these mats you'll still have something to sleep on - they're full of foam, so you won't be flat on the ground like you would with a punctured air bed. They still do fill with an amount of air, which would slowly escape in the event of a leak. Once you open the deflate valves, and roll it up, it pushes that air out to make it more compact for transport and storage. Hope that clarifies things for you. Thanks for flagging this one with us. Cheers, Paul

They don't have any built in features for attachment of two mats sorry Rob, but they do sit nicely next to each other. You could make straps from some 25mm webbing to keep them together, but I would recommend trying them together without any straps first, see how they go.

Hi Lauren, these do come with a zippered storage/transport bag. They are made much larger than the original packed size of the product allowing for expansion of the mat after first use, they never roll up again as tightly as they are delivered from the factory.
