G'day Ronnie,

I've heard of people doing that before without too man issues.  Just be mindful that as it will be super compressed, the next time you set it up it may need abit more time to inflate, or some extra air pumped into it.

G'day Mim,

That's a tough one to answer because Ive never heard anyone describe the EXPED mats as noisy.
I'd suggest it more likely a result of the sleeping bag material you're using, which seems to be the cause of noise with hiking mats.
The material on all of our self-inflating mats is the same style as Exped, so you may also find the Monstamat noisy.
Using a fitted sheet could be a good option to help offset that.

G'day Simon,

Yes, if you're thinking about swapping your swag mattress for the Monstamat, this will work! Just make sure you've got enough room in your swag for it.

They will deflate pretty quickly with the valve in deflate mode, so we'd recommend flipping the valve to deflate, folding your swag in half to push out as much air as you can, and then start rolling up your swag with the mattress valve pointed away from you.

G'day Sungjin,

Other than blowing more air in with your mouth, the Zempire Super 2-Way Pump will work with the Zempire MonstaMats, you'll need to hold it close as they don't completely seal over the valve. This will help with the inflation and deflation of your mat, just be mindful not to over-inflate as this can damage the mattress.

G'day Melissa,

We didnt have the Stratus mats for very long, and haven't had them instock for a while.

Off the bat side by side they are similar in materials and comfort, so from that perspective there's no real standout.
Given that they are a relatively new mat having been released towards the end of last year, there's no long-term feedback that we can rely on to really compare the mats.
The Zempire mats have been around for several years and have a good reputation.
I'm sure if Oztent continue to provide a mattress option in the future, there's will end up being the same.

It would be the King Single mattress size in either brand that you'd want to go with for the best fit in the Bunker Pro.

G'day Kim,

We recommend turning the valves around to deflate, then rough folding your mat up & leaning on it/laying on it, pressing out as much air as you can before you start to roll it up.  If you are able to do this the rolling part is alot more manageable & you can usually get a much tighter roll.
You can use a pump like the Oztrail or Coleman rechargeable options to assist with deflation, but the valves aren't perfectly compatible - should still do the trick though.

G'day Tom,

They're not waterproof, but they also won't be ruined if they get wet.
Similar to a normal house mattress, just put it somewhere warm, with good airflow to dry - ideally out of direct sunlight.

G'day Sean,

Yes, these mats are fine to use in summer. Higher R values won't cause a mat to be too hot.

G'day Lauren,

The Zempire Monstamats and Blackwolf HexaTherm 3D mats are both great options and will give you a pretty similar comfortable sleep. We've found that the Monstamat is slightly more popular overall, but the HexaTherm is a great buy too, it has just been on a market for a shorter time. Overall we can't decide for you, but the reviews on both are great, and I'm sure you'll be happy with either option.

G'day Kim,

The Zempire Speedy Stretcher Bed - King Single is a good option if you're wanting something from the same brand. The other popular option is the Oztrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretcher. 

G'day Alejandro,

We've given this a whirl a few times, and the Single is a slightly better fit than the King Single. The King Single will just fit, but it's a very tight fit and will put some pressure on the fabric, so we'd recommend the Single.

G'day Louise,

Generally popping a self-inflating mattress on top of a stretcher won't really add to the comfort of the already super comfortable mattress. The stretcher just raises you up off the ground so that you're not having to get up from the floor in the morning. 

G'day Jp,

The Black Wolf Fitted Mat Sheet does just fit the Zempire Monstamat King Single, however, the shape of the corners does put a little bit of strain on the sheet and the corners of the mat. We generally recommend butting a standard cotton bed sheet down to size.

G'day Dylan,

The carry bag for the Monstamat is just made from a lightweight nylon so it's won't provide any rain/water protection. If you're wanting to carry it on your roof we'd suggest popping in in a roof rack bag, or grabbing yourself a PVC storage bag.

G'day Laura,

There is no specified weight rating for these mattresses, and we have sold plenty of these to people around the 100kg weight and they have had no worries at all, as they're a sealed unit, being heavy doesn't affect their performance.

G'day Charles,

Both of these mats can be adjusted to be as firm or soft as you like by adjusting the amount of air. The Exped Megamat has dual valves so it will be slightly easier to get it nice and firm.

G'day Donna,

I can confirm that the width of the mat is 77cm wide. The RS-1 is much wider at 105cm. There are a number of products that different manufacturers use the term King Single to describe, however, there is no set size for King Single, so you'll need to double-check with the specified widths of the products on our site. The orange tick next to the dimensions on our site confirm that we've measured the product ourself. 

G'day Ian,

There is now two new models of the Oztent Bunker, both are the width that the older model XL. The sleeping area is 200 x 90cm so the Monstamat King Single will fit with no problems at all. If you have an older model Bunker has a sleeping area of 190 x 80cm, which is a tiny bit too short to fit the Monstamat King Single.

G'day Khalid,

You sure can, what a great idea! The Exped Universal Mat Coupler Kit will help out with keeping the mats joined together.
