FAQs
Is this mat self-inflating?
No, this is a closed-cell foam folding mat and does not require inflation.
What are the dimensions when folded?
While exact folded depth depends on how tight you press the segments, it maintains the 59cm width and is approximately 10-12cm thick when fully folded.
Can I use this for winter camping?
It provides a basic layer of insulation, but it is not specifically rated for extreme winter or sub-zero temperatures.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is water-resistant, making it excellent at preventing moisture from the ground from reaching your sleeping bag.
Does it come with a carry bag?
The mat typically includes integrated straps or is designed to stay folded on its own; a separate carry bag is not required.
Can this be cut to size?
Yes, as a closed-cell foam mat, it can be trimmed with a sharp utility knife if you need a smaller size for a specific application.
Troubleshooting
Mat does not lie completely flat after unfolding
Lay the mat flat and place heavy items like a pack or boots on the corners for 30 minutes to help the foam reset its shape.
Surface debris sticking to the mat
Shake the mat vigorously before folding, or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or grit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the mat simply requires unfolding the sections until the base is flat on the ground. To ensure the longest product lifespan, follow these care instructions:
- Storage: Always store the mat in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight to prevent foam degradation.
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed; ensure it is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage.
- Compatibility: This mat is compatible with most standard-sized mummy and rectangular sleeping bags. If using a double sleeping bag, two mats placed side-by-side will provide full coverage.
- Ground Prep: While the foam is durable, it is best practice to clear sharp sticks or rocks from your site to maintain the integrity of the mat surface.
