MegaMat is our original, most comfortable, best-reviewed sleeping mat, making truly luxurious sleep a reality for thousands of car campers and overland enthusiasts everywhere since its introduction in 2011.
We have never wavered from our commitment to the highest quality materials, workmanship, and design, beginning with the tiniest details. These details work in concert toward one goal: a body-cradling, luxurious sleep experience while out-and-about in the wide world.
MegaMat 10 has at its core 10 cm (4”) of just-the-right density, Oeko-Tex 100 certified, open-cell polyurethane foam for support and warmth. Horizontal air channels in the foam help reduce weight and packed volume without sacrificing comfort. To enhance the cradling effect, the mat’s surface features a brushed, stretch tricot polyester that relieves pressure points (hips and shoulders) while evenly supporting the body across all surfaces, head to foot.
MegaMat is self-inflating. When the inflate valve is opened, the foam expands and draws air into the mat. An EXPED Mini Pump is included to top-off the inflation and achieve the preferred firmness. Inflate and deflate valves are large, high flow-rate FlatValves. The inflate valve is equipped with a one-way flapper, allowing air to easily be purged during the night and with just the touch of a fingertip if you find the mat is too firm.
Vertical 3-dimensional sidewalls allow the top surface to extend all the way out to the edge of the mat without tapering, maximizing the usable sleeping surface - just like a bed at home!
QUICK TIP: For faster MegaMat inflation, use the pin attached to the inflate valve cover: Simply insert the pin halfway into the inflate valve to hold the rubber flap open.

I own this mat. Best car camping mat I've ever owned. pop open the valve, throw it in the tent, come back in half an hour and all that is needed is 5 pumps of the external mini pump and done. I'm a big guy and even after 5 days of sleeping on it, it maintains it's pressure/ form without needing to reinflate.

Good instructional video. I am using my Megamat in three days for its inaugural camp. Note that instructions for first time use: Open the Inflate valve and let it sit for an hour. Then top it off, close valve and let it sit inflated for 24 hours. For normal use just follow the video. I am eager to test it out on my fishing trip.

I came here to find out what it means to "insert the toggle attached to the inflation valve cap". This is part of the instructions for first-time inflation and also instructed for normal use to speed up inflation. What does this mean? It's not shown in this video, nor is there a picture of inserting the toggle in the instructions.
@ExpedLLC
@ExpedLLC 4 ай бұрын
The "inflate toggle" is the small zipper-pull looking thing that's on the inflate valve cap. It's purpose to to have something to insert into the inflate valve to keep the green "flapper" valve propped open so that air has an adequate space to enter the mat through for faster self-inflation. Feel free to email us at questions@Expedusa.com and we can provide pictures to better illustrate how it works.

How do you deflate the double model, Duo 10? And when you store these things under your bed, do you leave both valves open or closed? Just bought one. Also, I know you recommend storing the mat open. Is it harmful to store it for long periods in the stuff sack instead?
@ExpedLLC
@ExpedLLC 7 жыл бұрын
Deflation for the Duo is nearly identical to the single version. You will however want to fold it in half as well once you start to get some air out. For storage, leave the deflate valve open. If you store the mat in it's stuff sack for long periods, it will not self inflate very fast and will need more pumping most likely when you reach camp.

HI There! We would recommend fully inflating your mat with the included mini pump (about 3-4 minutes of pumping) and letting it sit fully inflated for 24 hours. This will allow to foam to regain its natural shape and will self inflate much more quickly on its next use. Also when letting the mat self inflate be sure to insert the pin that is hanging off the inflate cap into the inflate valve about half way. This will allow it to self inflate much more quickly.

Although we recommend keeping our mats unrolled with the valves open for the best long-term storage, we realize limitations on space don’t always make that practical. Personally (since I live in an apartment), I keep my large mats stored rolled-up with the valves closed in their storage bags since for me, space is more of a priority than self-inflation time. The main reason we recommend people store their mats unrolled with the valves open is so the foam can retain its springiness when self-inflating. Mats that have been stored rolled-up for long periods of the time condition the foam to get "used" to being compressed- leading to sluggish self-inflation when using your mat for the first time after taking it out of storage. However, all it takes to make the memory foam “remember” its full-mattress shape is to fully inflate the mat so the foam can expand and fill with air. Subsequent uses should see quicker self-inflation times after that. If the valves are left open, the mat will constantly want to unroll/unfold itself as it tries to "self-inflate". To summarize- It’s fine to store your mats rolled-up/with the valves closed, we just generally recommend against it in order to preserve the springiness of the foam, as well as to let air passively circulate in and out of the mat (which prevents other problems caused by moisture being trapped in the interior- such as mold and/or delamination). So long as your mats are put away dry (inside and out), it doesn’t really matter if they’re stored rolled or unrolled or if the valves are opened or closed.

Two tips for you Ted. 1. Inflate the self-inflating mats by opening the Deflate valve. Mat will suck air in much faster than through the restricted Inflate valve. Then top up with the pump if necessary. I don’t find it necessary. 2. For the non-selfing inflating mats that Exped provide the snozzle for, don’t use the nozzle at all ! Use the small battery powered inflator sold by Thermarest. Extend the rubber tube and poke through the Exped’s Deflate valve and hold firmly against it. This method is effortless and much quicker than wrestling with the bag.

I was able to get the mattress inflated enough using the hand pump. then I deflated it and started over, I was able to get the inflation valve open enough using the pin that I could hear air going in and this time it auto-inflated enough in 15 min, then I used the hand pump for about 5 or 10 minutes and got it fully inflated. It seems like if I get the pin in about 3/4 way and rest the end of it (the end with the string attachment) against the inside edge of the valve it creates the largest opening. Going to let it sit for 24 hours per the instruction. This is a great quality mattress, plenty tall and wide enough for me (I have the megamat 10 wide-long) I am 5-9.

The Megamat 10 arrived yesterday, and I suspect that it is going to change my life - I have freak neurological disorder and cannot sleep on most mattresses on the planet, least having terrible pains. My only chance to be able to travel is to find a portable mattress, I tried dozens of solutions and the only one that worked in the last years is old and falling apart, the Megamat seems the only one that my back likes (thank YOU!). Only one problem: at 77 cm it doesn't go as hand luggage on a plane, and putting it in the checked in luggage is also difficult (need to buy a huge suitcase) and if the baggage is lost I am lost too. Can you suggest any "politically incorrect' way to fold it for just some hours so that it fits in a hand luggage soft bag (around 55 cm x 40 x 20)? I am sure any suggestion you make is going to be less harmful than what I can think of by myself.

@ExpedLLC

Hi Mike, With both valves open, the mat will deflate until it reaches the same air pressure as the surrounding air. We recommend this for long-term storage so the interior foam can "breath" and isn't compressed for long periods of time. Storing the mat in a "compressed" state will effect the mat's ability to self-inflate, as the compressed foam has a harder time "springing back" and filling itself (and the mat) with air.

That sounds great! Frequent packing and unpacking of your mat can actually help to "spread out" the wear on the fabric and ensure that the interior is constantly being "aired out" so that moisture is not trapped in the mat. Frequent inflating and deflating of your mat is fine as it will both ensure the foam isn't being "compressed" long-term, and that the air in the mat is constantly being "refreshed"- which will avoid issues like mold or delamination which can be caused by moisture being trapped in the interior of the mat. So long as you avoid causing abrasion to the same area of your mat over and over, the mat should benefit from being frequently moved.

Ted it can be done faster and easier using the pump. Cover the plug with the heel of the palm, and grab the pump from the other side like holding a ball with both. Squeeze (the palm heel should cover the plug) then relax making sure to let the plug breathe in. I inflated a megamat quicker than most inflate UL mats like this - and I was wasted and sick that I could barely stand when I did it: and that explains how easy and fast it is. That pump is great. The exped method is too energy consuming - I'm sorry to say. It's much easier to grab than to use your entire body to press. This is something that most companies seem to ignore - hand pressing, foot pressing - nonsense. I hope this will change. You can thank me later. Andrei

Sry guys, bad Eng there. Grab the pump with both hands and squeeze. Try to cover the valve with one of the palms to help the valve out not to loose air. Then open your hands, letting the valve breathe and the foam expand. "The heel of the palm" = look at your thumb, where it meets the palm, the muscle that makes it bend inward. Is that the "ball" of your palm in Eng? It's the only high spot in your palm which can efficiently cover the valve. I'm right handed so I used my right hand for that.

This is normal with mats that have been rolled-up for a while (such as brand new mattress) and should go away with regular use. Essentially, the memory foam inside the mat has gotten "used" to its rolled-up and compressed shape, but all it takes to make the memory foam “remember” its full-mattress shape again is to inflate the mat with the pump until it’s firm so that the internal foam can stretch back out to its normal state. Subsequent uses should see quicker and “fuller” self-inflation after that, as the foam inside has been re-stretched out by inflation. The mat shouldn’t suffer from the compression issue again unless it’s rolled-up and put away for a long period of time.

As a mattress, you might want to demonstrate its main use: lying down on it to sleep.

Maybe that worked in 2017 but our mats just lie there, no self inflation at all.

We recommend that all MegaMats be stored unrolled, with both valves open, so the foam can retain its memory. This will provide the best experience for self-inflation when the mat is needed. Is this how your mats are being stored? If the mat is stored rolled up for long periods of time, it can be expected that the foam will take longer to regain its memory. We have two options to assist with this: the Schnozzel Pumpbag and the Widget. The Schnozzel Pumpbag is a non-powered option that can also be used as a drybag. The Widget is a rechargeable powered option with a 3-in-1 inflator, lamp and charging bank.

Guys just include the pump sack with the mega mats already. That little hand pump is so ridiculous.

blondre3000 not needed. as shown the thing auto inflates, the hand pump is for topping it off the last bit. a couple dozen pumps and you are done. why make the thing more expensive when it's not needed?

Mine inflates when I try to roll it up

Hi there. I'm sorry you're having trouble rolling up your mat. Try this technique: open the deflate valve, fold the mat and use your body weight to push out as much air as possible, close the deflate valve, unroll the mat, then start rolling it up again. Once you've rolled it as much as you can with the valves closed, open the deflate valve and push out the remainder of the air as you roll. Here is a video showing the technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmOkZYRorKirpMU If you're still having trouble with it, let us know where you're located and we can connect you with the EXPED distributor in your area for assistance.

Stupid KZbin covers the only part of the video I came here to see with stupid links to other videos I did NOT come here to see. I love this mat, but the bag design is idiotic and now I'll never know how to pack the mat so it doesn't just fall out.

With most product you give a demonstration as to the luxury, comfort, and flexibility of the components. Why does this guy never lie down on the mat, so as to demonstrate the benefits of comfort. Good grief, are we to guess at such features? If you're going to demonstrate the benefits of a child swimming with water wings you don't just puff up the waterwings and deflate them. You show the safety, comfort and benefits of a child actually using them. Dude! Get down onto the product and show us what we can only imagine by your standoffishness. If you're too prudish to do this, get a teenager to bounce around on it to show the main benefit of what you're trying to demonstrate., ie., how the thing conforms to weight and shifting weight!!!
