Hi Rob, great to see you trying a different product type to review. Well done with a clear explanation and just the right amount of information. Great camera work showing all the key points. Keep up the excellent work. ATB Tom
You Legend Rob - I was looking at two of these for my camper - UNTIL I saw this: The ACTUAL width is +/- 73,5cm. This means that they will be too wide for the bed space so well done for the detail.
You could- deponering on your comfort levels. I have used exped megamat at a friends home for a week - was great. It’s 1cm thicker. Decathlon also has an inflatable bed frame for this. Would try that
Thanks! Hope it provided enough info - camera died at a certain point. It’s super comfy and back support is amazing too. It’s also my favourite for glamping trips 🙌🏼
I just got the quechua basic self inflating mattress. No instructions. 1 valve. Opened it out and opened the valve and nothing. Waited 10 mins and still no change, what the .... am I supposed to do? I want to sleep and my 3cm matress is less than 1cm. Super disappointed.
One valve is tricky. You’ve probably opened it for deflation. Close fully and then open just a bit. Should self in flare in 4 minutes. Otherwise you’ll need to use your long power.
Normally it would be a few minutes, but this one I had really compressed so it would take a long time for it to recover. There are dry bags that have an inflation opening that you can potentially use. Or small electronic pumps. Thermarest makes them 🙏
@@pimpeperkamp225 Thanks for your precise answer. I finally decided to buy a small classic matress to avoid loosing time and energy when wanting to go to bed.
Hope you've enjoyed this review. Consider supporting the channel and buying me a coffee: buymeacoff.ee/roboutdoorprep

Thanks Tom! Yeah, wanted to share my gear beyond Hilleberg tents 😃 thanks for your feedback 🙏
was looking for the deflation part, thanks, it finally fits in the bag again :D
Hahaha happy to help 🙏
I've just bought one of these and it's super comfortable. Very pleased
Didn’t expect anything else 🙌🏼
Same

I’ve made that mistake mate, and even made W video dedicated to this issue 😄👌🏼 glad it helped
This one is amazing very confortable
Great value for money!
great video. How about using this at home for every day?

Great review, is it safe to say comfort and quality similar to Exped, Big Agnes, Thermarest alternatives?
I haven’t tried them all extensively, but this one sure is comfy.
Hey Rob ! Have you ever tried rolling the mattress instead of folding ? I feel you could get that pack size way down
I have tried that. Volume remains the same, it’s just shaped differently. The material is stretchy enough to handle it 👌🏼
@@OutdoorPrep Thanks for the quick help ! Just bought one
Another great informative video Rob 😎these are hands down my favorite sleeping Pad! Did you feel it provides you with enough back support?
Thanks! Hope it provided enough info - camera died at a certain point. It’s super comfy and back support is amazing too. It’s also my favourite for glamping trips 🙌🏼
I don't understand this. How does it self inflate each time, is there a compressed air canister inside?
Foam that expands and that allows the air to get inside. You will need to add a bit of air to get it extra firm.

Great Job Rob. I changed my car into a car camper. It's so so handy. This is a great choice for a mattress. Nice job. Sub from me man. 🙌👏✌️
Oh it’s perfect for that 🙏 thanks
Glad you’ve enjoyed it
Cheers
How does this compare to the more expensive 4 inch mats on the market?
The Exped ones I like a bit more simply because they’re a bit thicker but you pay for that extra comfort. This is still a great choice
@OutdoorPrep perfect, thank you! I think the exped one is a little out of my budget. I have ordered this one, I'm sure it shall do the job.
Im sure you’ll enjoy them, it’s a great choice! Just remember to let a bit of air out otherwise you’ll wake up with a sore back :)
How long did it take too inflate with your breath after self inflation?
Can it be done with another tool than mouth?
Normally it would be a few minutes, but this one I had really compressed so it would take a long time for it to recover. There are dry bags that have an inflation opening that you can potentially use. Or small electronic pumps. Thermarest makes them 🙏
@@OutdoorPrep Thanks for your answer
Decathlon itself doesnt recommend using a pump of any kind , they are made for inflating on their own/with your mouth. pumps can lead to damage.
@@pimpeperkamp225 Thanks for your precise answer.

@@pimpeperkamp225 you always have option of turning the pump off before it gets too hard. That way dry air is used not moisture from your mouth.
How is the conform compared with air bed ?
So much better. You’re not sleeping on a giant balloon and have some actual support 👍🏽
This mattress can float in water ?
If James Cameron knew about it sooner, the Titanic would have had a very different ending
@@OutdoorPrep Most airbed can float in the water. It can help Titanic from sinking.
@@mygadgetzhaiqal7410 it would have at least helped Jack :D
Me and my girlfriend have been using these for carcamping for about 2.5 years and they are still great but not so self inflating anymore.
Have you tried storing them uncompressed for a while? That could help.
Will definitely give that a try, bedankt!
Self-inflating seems mis-leading 😂
Haha well yeah not fully
