Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mat

G'day Sean,

The Exped Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mat is often referred to as a premium or luxury item here at Snowys. Exped is willing to back the item for 5 years, and we currently have over 100 5-star reviews on the product. They are comfortable, long lasting, excellent quality foam and have a high R-value (insulation value). The Zempire Bomberpad is cheaper but is also thinner, uses lower quality foam, has no measured R-value, and is only backed with a 1-year warranty. There are still a good product but not quite the same level as the Exped. 

G'day Virginia,

The Megamat 10LXW is a good mat in all conditions, in summer it will be no warmer than your bed at home.

G'day Virginia,

The Exped Megamat 10LXW will be the best option I can think of for a restless sleeper. We have a few staff here with these mats and they all think they're the bees knees. The fabric is soft and stretchy so it tends to be quiet, and you can vary how the firm the mat is by adding or removing air, so we'd be pretty confident in this mat suiting your needs.

G'day Andrew,

Unfortunately, we're not able to get the Smart Pack Sacks separately to the mats. They are supplied as a complete unit with the mat.

G'day Samantha,

Your best option will be to follow the instructions Exped provide with the Megamat to get the air flowing initially. Generally, they will need a while to inflate the first time you unroll them, hence the 48 hour suggestion.

G'day David,

I've just had a play with our display model RV5 and some Megamat 10LXWs and I think the best use of space would be to put them in lengthways (i.e. foot or head at the door), this way you have room either side for bags etc. If you go width ways it will also fit but someone will always be on the lower sloped side, which could also work. Up to you but I'd go length ways!

G'day Robert,

It's hard to say whether the Exped Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mat would fit on the Helinox Cot 1 as we don't sell the Helinox to check. Having a quick look at the dimensions on their website indicates to me that the Megamat is likely a little too wide and long to fit through. 

G'day Pete,

I've checked with our purchasing team and unfortunately, these aren't available currently from our Australian supplier. I'll put in a suggestion to them as you're not the first person to ask, but in the meantime, you might need to look into alternatives or try to source one from overseas sorry. 

G'day Louise,

Just to be sure, I've been downstairs to have a look at the stuff bag that comes with the Exped Megamat 10LXW camp mats and they're not seam sealed, so they won't work as a dry sack. They'll be splash proof but for kayaking, you'll need something more substantial to truly keep it dry on the water. I tested our biggest dry sack, the 65L Big River Bag from Sea to Summit and it's still too short. I think you'll need to inquire at a specialist kayaking retailer for a long, skinny dry bag. 

G'day Helen,

Sorry for the slow reply, I've just been trying to track these down for you. We can more than likely help you out here but I'll get you to send us an email to service@snowys.com.au with some pictures of the valves on the mat (or the rubber part if you still have one) so we can make sure to send you the correct part. 

G'day Helen,

No worries I'm sure we can help you out here. If you can send us an email at service@snowys.com.au we'll follow this up and get one sent out to you. 

G'day Kevin,

Every now and then we can get our hands on special order items from Exped but your best bet would be to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and chat to our customer service team who will be able to help you out with potentially getting some in. 

G'day Ed,

You'll definitely be able to squeeze two of the Exped Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mats to fit your space, you might just end up with a bit of a bulge in the middle, that's all. I'd suggest not fully inflating them so that the air doesn't create a bulge when you squeeze them in to fit. Alternatively, you might want to look at buying a double. 

G'day David,

The Exped Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mat is a little big for the Zempire Speedy Stretcher Bed. It'll still work fine but just make sure you don't roll off the edge!

G'day David,

As far as width is concerned, your best bet would be the Zempire Megamat Single Camp Mat, it's only going to be about 2cm wider than your stretcher bed. The length is 1cm longer than the Exped, however.

G'day Renee,

Provided that you fold the Exped Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mat nice and tight, you should have no worries at all with stuffing a sleeping bag around the mattress inside the bag. The bags do have a bit of room around the mattress inside. 

G'day Craig,

I'd suggest that the best way to store your Exped Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mat would be to deflate it and then roll it up. Leaving any air in it or simply folding it over would make it really bulky for storage.
