Troubleshooting
Mat not fully inflating
Ensure the valve is fully open. Check for any obstructions in the valve. Try manually blowing air into the valve to assist inflation. Ensure the mat is laid flat and not on a steep incline.
Mat deflating overnight
Check that the Flat High-Flow valve is securely closed. Inspect the mat for any punctures or tears and repair if necessary using appropriate repair kits. Extreme temperature changes can also affect air pressure; allow the mat to re-inflate slightly if needed.
Difficult to deflate and pack
Ensure the valve is opened completely. Press down on the mat firmly to expel as much air as possible before rolling. Rolling from the valve end can help push air out.
Uncomfortable firmness
Adjust the air pressure by manually adding or releasing air through the valve until your desired firmness is achieved. Note that self-inflating mats often require a personal touch for perfect firmness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent insulation for cold weather camping.
- Comfortable and thick sleeping surface.
- Easy to inflate and deflate.
- Durable polyester construction.
- Suitable for two people.
Cons
- Heavier and bulkier when packed compared to some alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the sleeping mat on a flat surface inside your tent or desired sleeping area.
- Open the Flat High-Flow valve by twisting it counter-clockwise.
- Allow the mat to self-inflate for approximately 15-20 minutes. The foam inside will expand, drawing air into the mat.
- Once self-inflation has slowed, check the firmness. If you prefer a firmer mat, gently blow a few breaths into the valve and close it securely by twisting clockwise.
Compatibility:
This mat is designed for general camping use and is compatible with most standard two-person tents. It functions best on relatively flat surfaces. Ensure the valve area is free from debris before use.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mat clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow the mat to air dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Store the mat loosely rolled in its carrybag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Do not store under heavy weight, as this can compress the foam permanently.
- Valve Care: Keep the valve clean and ensure it is properly sealed when not in use to prevent air leakage or dust ingress.
