Megamat 10 Duo Sleeping Mat

G'day Pat,

Thanks for getting in touch, my colleague and I have tried this out for you and the diameter of the Exped Megamat 10 Duo when rolled but not folded in half is 25cm, we rolled it fairly tightly, but if you were to roll it a little looser it would be closer to 30cm.

G'day Ryan,

According to the specs of the Big Daddy Deluxe, the swag is 155cm and the width of the Exped Megamat 10 Duo is 130cm so yes, technically it will fit but obviously, there will be a bit extra room on either side of the mat. 

G'day Catherine,

We've tested this out a few times and can confirm that the Megamat Duo 10 will fit in one end of the tent, and you can fit 2 x Megamat 10LXWs in the other end.

G'day Kevin,

The Megamat 10 Duo is designed for two people to sleep on it, so it should be fine for 4 people to sit on if you needed. There is an easily adjustable valve on the mat so you can let a little bit of air out if you need.

G'day Shane,

I personally think the Megamat Duo 10 is the most comfortable of the three brands, but I guess it's a subjective opinion. The Zempire and Black Wolf mats are also pretty comfy. In terms of popularity, the Zempire mats are really popular, but that may be due to the price point.

G'day Jay,

Thanks for the great question. The first thing I will say is that the Oztrail Queen mat is a completely different type of product to the other two. It is a non-bonded mat and isn't technically speaking a self-inflating mat, it, therefore, packs up really large, so we find you have to store them on a roof rack. Comparing the Zempire Monstmat and Exped Megamat Duo 10 is definitely something we're often asked to do. In short, the Zempire Monstmat is a very good cheper alternative to the Megamat Duo 10. The Megamat is the rolls royce model, and has some great technology in the foam to give it a 9.5 R-value at a lighter weight than the Monstamat. Exped stands by their products and provides a 5-year guarantee on their mats, versus just a 1 year on the Zempire. We generally won't tell you which one to buy as we like to leave the final decision to you, but most of our staff here have the Megamat Duo 10.

G'dau Mandy,

Thanks for getting in touch, we'd generally suggest leaving both valves on the Megamat Duo 10 open as you indicate to allow the mat to contract/expand with the temperature changes. This will generally be most applicable in the summer months. 

G'day Max,

I don't have an answer right now but I'll chase it up on Tuesday and get back to you with an ETA. 

G'day Max,

Ok, we've heard back from Exped and we're hoping to see our next delivery from them around the 8th Feb, give or take a few business days depending on how quickly the freight gets to us. 

G'day Max,

I've just checked the packaging and the Megamat 10 Duo is made in Taiwan. 

G'day Monnie,

Ideally, store your mat flat, inflated and with the valve open if you have space. Doing this vertically is fine as well, you can store them upright in a wardrobe etc if that works the best for you. If you have to keep it rolled up, roll it as loosely as possible and keep the valve open. As long as it's in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight you'll be fine. 

G'day Paul,

Thanks for your query, we have had a few enquiries for the Exped Megamat Duo Mat Sheets lately. I've just double checked with the Australian supplier and they don't actually bring these into Australia at this point in time. We're currently discussing the possibility of bringing some of these in next year with our next major shipment. If we do go ahead with this we'd probably see them towards the middle of next year. You might need to source one from somewhere overseas or the Black Wolf Fitted Mat Sheet - Double will work but does compress the corners a little

G'day Kristin,

I've just chased this up with our purchasing team again for you and unfortunately, the Exped Fitted Mat Sheets are not being brought in to Australia. The Australian supplier has indicated that at this point in time they're not a cost viable product to bring into the country.

G'day Jacob,

We have the Exped Megamat 10 Duo LW which is as you indicate 197cm Long x 130cm Wide.

G'day Andrea,

I was pretty sure this worked but I've given it a test run in the shop and the Exped Megamat Duo will fit really nicely in the Oztrail Mitchell Expedition Double Swag.

G'day Kristy,

The fitted sheets for the Exped Megamts aren't available in Australia. The Black Wolf sheets will fit but not perfectly and I think with use they'll probably slip off. We're looking into getting the Exped sheets but I don't have a timeline on that currently sorry. 

G'day Nadine, 

The Exped Megamat provides a very effective thermal barrier between you and the ground as it has an R-value of 9.5 which is basically the highest rating available on a sleeping mat. 

To give you an idea of where that figure sits, for alpine conditions we generally recommend a mat that has an R-value of 6 and over so the Megamat should be more than suitable for keeping the cold from the ground coming through.

For more on insulation and R-value, you can check out this article here. I hope this helped, Nadine.
