Megamat 10 Duo Sleeping Mat

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 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. 

G'day Mario,

Looking at the dimensions of both the Exped Megamat 10 Duo Sleeping Mat and the Darche Dusk to Dawn 1400 Swag, you should be able to fit the mattress in nicely. 

G'day Karl,

I certainly wouldn't imagine that your beagles will give the Exped Megamat 10 Duo Sleeping Mat much of a hard time. The only small thing I would be worried about would be the claws but if they're not super sharp or active scratchers then I reckon you'd be fine. To be ultra safe, using a bedsheet wouldn't go astray I reckon. 

G'day Amy, 

The sleeping dimensions of the RV5 are 260 x 260, so as the Megamat Duo is 197L x 130W cm - you could just squeeze two duos in, but they would be edge-to-edge. 

G'day Jason,

As Emily has said above 2 Megamat Duo's will fit in an RV5 side by side, but they will get squeezed right up against each other and they'll more than likely touch the edges of the tent frame. 

G'day Glen,

The Exped Megamat 10 Due Sleeping Mat can take a little while when the mat is new due to the compressed state of the foam. But if the mat is stored uncompressed, or loosely rolled then you can expect it to be ready in around five minutes. It won't inflate to its full potential independently, but comes with a mini pump to facilitate inflation to your desired 'firmness'. 

G'day Elizabeth,

I've just quickly double checked the material of the bags for both the Exped Megamat 10 Duo Sleeping Mat & the Black Wolf and neither of them come with waterproof bags I'm sorry to say. 

G'day Pete,

I've just had a look at the Coleman Traveller 3P Tent with one of our Exped Megamat 10 Duo Sleeping Mats. Whilst it does fit in the tent, it touches the walls at the foot and head ends. This means that if it rains at all, you'll be in some strife. 

G'day Riz,

The Exped Megamat 10 Duo Sleeping Mat is 197cm long and you've got 200cm of length in the Coleman Traveller. Whilst it might just fit in, you'll most likely find that it touches the ends, which you'd ideally want to avoid.
