Forclaz MT500, Insulating Inflatable Backpacking Mattress, 1 Person, 71" x 21"

Folded dimensions Ø 4.7" x 11.8". Volume: 3.4 liters.

To prevent moisture from being blown into the mattress, we recommend that you use the pump bag in the pouch. To do this, unroll the entire pump bag/pouch. Connect the valve of the pump bag to the “in” valve of your mattress. Blow to about 4"-8" from the inlet of the pump bag, to inflate the main volume as much as possible. Roll the bag on itself to the valve to push the air out of the main bag into your mattress.

The R-Value is a measure of the thermal insulation. It measures the ability of a mattress to retain or prevent heat from escaping from a warm body (human body) to a cold floor. The higher the R-Value, the better the insulation of the mattress. Please note that the R-Values can be added; this means that you can use 2 mattresses and add their R-Values. All our mattresses are tested to standard ASTM F3340-18.

R-value from 0 to 1.9: Hot season (summer) only R-value from 2 to 3: 2 or 3-season (spring-summer-fall) R-value from 3 to 4: 4-season R-value of 4.5 and higher: Use in all 4 seasons and in extreme conditions (glacier, far north, and high altitudes)

Once you are lying down, remember to adjust the inflation pressure of the mattress by slightly pressing the in valve (open cap). A mattress that is too hard is often synonymous with discomfort. Silicone patches on the top of the mattress are designed to reduce the sliding of your sleeping bag on the mattress.

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce this impact on the environment, we use only mass pigmentation on 1 yarn out of every 2 for the gray fabric on the back of the mattress, thus reducing our consumption and our impact on water. In addition, 70% of the fill used as insulation is recycled polyester. These actions allow us to reduce CO2 emissions by 12%.

An inflatable mattress is not puncture-proof but it can be repaired! In use, as much care as possible should be paid to its set-up and handling. In the case of a problem, we recommend you use adhesive repair patches (ref: 8584596). For more information, copy the following link into your search engine: https://www.forclaz.co.uk
