Tips for sleeping well on your mattress
Once you lie down, remember to adjust the inflation pressure of the mattress by lightly pressing the IN valve (open the cap). A mattress that is too firm is often synonymous with discomfort. The silicone patches on the top of the mattress are designed to reduce the sleeping bag from sliding off the mattress.
How to choose the size of your MT500 mattress
This model is available in L and XL versions. The difference between the 2 sizes is in length (180 cm for L; 195 cm for XL size) and width (52 cm for L size; 60 cm for XL). To choose the mattress that suits you best, you should consider your height, but not only that. Your preference and/or your preference for space around the shoulders should also be considered. So, even if you are 1.75 m tall, you might prefer the XL model!
Volume and folded size
Folded dimensions Ø 10.5 cm x 28 cm. Volume: 2.4 liters. Weights, volumes, and dimensions may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances.
How to easily fold the MT500 air mattress?
The easiest way to fold the mattress without damaging it is to fold it into four lengthwise and then roll it up.
What is R-value?
R-value is a measure of thermal insulation. It measures the ability of a mattress to retain or prevent heat from escaping from a warm body (the human body) to a cold floor. The higher the R-value, the better the mattress's insulation. Please note that R-values can be added; this means you can use two mattresses and add their R-values. All our mattresses are tested according to the ASTM F3340-18 standard.
