Purchased 2 of these. We liked how firm they are. Left them to inflated for 7 days from brand new. Carefully packed them away (not the easiest). We went camping and only one inflated properly.Lucky anaconda Was able to replace it. When exchanging it, it seems the staff are well aware of the issues with poorly designed valve.Not sure how much use we will be able to get out of them but we did get them on sale for half price.Comfort -5 starsQuality and design -2 stars

Crazy to think that this valve issue is a known issue to them for over a year judging on the other feedback here, yet they still continue to advertise this as a feature (it's in the instructions). Astounding disregard for misleading. Store assistant told me the mattress still works and is comfortable lol. In vehicle analogy, it's like advertising a car with parking assist as a feature, then you buy the car and it doesn't have it. Sure the car still drives nice and I can park it, but I wanted, and paid for parking assist for convenience. Or I would have bought something else if I had known.

This mat is super comfy and inflates really quickly! Definitely let it inflate at home for 24 hrs when you first get it (as per instructions) as it takes a while to inflate the first time. When using it, don’t let it get too full of air like an airbed or it gets too hard - I ended up letting some out on the first night, then it was perfect.Rolling it up: I was a bit worried because the reviews said it was a pain and that the valves are the wrong way etc. The little valves do seem useless and possibly the wrong way, but I had no trouble just opening the big valves, doing an initial roll up (use your knees!), sealing the valves, then rolling it back down, folding it in half (I have the double) and going again. I reopened the valves when I was about halfway up the ... MoreThis mat is super comfy and inflates really quickly!

I reopened the valves when I was about halfway up the second roll to squeeze the air out, and put the straps around it. I managed this by myself no problem and it takes 5-7 mins max. It’s not hard, you’ve just gotta get the technique right. Wayyy comfier and warmer than an airbed so I’m really glad I got it!

Very comfy! Foam and air together - means it’s adjustable for firmness. Large size for a single - seems like you’re on a normal single bed at home. Easy to pack up using knee / body weight as you roll it. Definitely a glamping experience! After using mine, I bought another for my adult daughter to use on our tent camping trip in Tassie. They fit in the roof pod with tents and sleeping bags and other smaller blow ups.
Bought this online from a recommendation and is great. Haven’t had the chance to fully sleep on it yet but I inflated it and kept it for 3 days before deflating it….. which brings me to that. After reading the other comments about this and thought they were a few months old so hopefully they have fixed the factory problem…. Well they didn’t. The problem is with the valves. It’s like they have the deflate valve on the wrong end. Regardless of how much you read the instructions, it just doesn’t work. And when you have a good look, just like the other reviews, they are right. Even though you follow the deflate instructions, it still lets air in. The valve needs to be on the other side so it lets air out and not in. Anyway, after a few rolls and fiddling around with ... MoreBought this online from a recommendation and is great.

Hence the 4 stars. Hope they fix it in the future…. Or can tell me/us what we are doing wrong???
Purchased 3 of these for the kids for camping. They all said they were so comfy to sleep on and even want to keep sleeping on them at home. I also purchased the double for myself and my husband. Great product but ensure you read other reviews before as there are so many great tips in there. Reading the reviews allowed me to have these packed up in a matter of minutes. Ensure you leave them to fully inflate for at least 24 hours before first use. Rolling up on your own is easy enough. I open both valves on the ends and do a quick “fold” to deflate slightly and then close the valves off while applying weight/pressure. I then unfold and start rolling while applying pressure. When I get halfway (or to when I can reach the valves) I undo them to let all the air out and ... MorePurchased 3 of these for the kids for camping.

When I get halfway (or to when I can reach the valves) I undo them to let all the air out and continue rolling until the very end. Close the valves up and unroll. I then repeat the process. This allows you to get it back down to a nice compact size (almost the size of when you first get it) and then it slips into the bag easy enough. If you are struggling to get it back into the bag then you haven’t rolled it tight enough. I did all 3 kids mats on my own with a sleeping bag rolled up inside it with no issues getting back into the bag.
I purchased this for my husband and I after reading multiple reviews online. This is a fantastic mat and so comfy. My husband hates camping but enjoyed our most recent camp trip because he was able to have a comfortable sleep. The ground we slept on was hard and rocky but didn’t feel any of that through the mat. Make sure you leave to inflate for at least 24 hours when you first purchase as this allows for quicker inflation the second time around. Rolling up can be done with effort by one person however two people is a much quicker process. My 14yo daughter and I open the plugs at the end, fold the mattress in half and then apply pressure to let some air out.

My 14yo daughter and I open the plugs at the end, fold the mattress in half and then apply pressure to let some air out. Then we close the ends off, roll the mattress up halfway and then open the ends again (I roll while she opens and closes the valves) until it’s completely rolled up. We then close the valves back up again (while still applying pressure) unroll and then repeat. This gets the mattress nice and flat with minimal effort and it goes back into the carry bag with ease and room to spare. Surprised that it was also a good size for the two of us.
I'm not the first to point out the valve issue, but there's no denying it is a major design flaw. If I can't find a suitable valve replacement the item will be returned under warranty. I strongly believe they are aware of the issue, but have failed to rectify it or offer any solutions to existing owners. Fortunately, there is a very simple solution: Provide owners with a new "retofit-able" one-way (deflation) check-valve with a male thread which screws into the mattress to replace the old boston valves - which should be relatively easy for a company of Anacondas size. The replacement valves should also be FREE OF CHARGE to existing owners, and supplied with any new-old stock. If they do that, I will keep the mattress and update my review.
Bought this mat for camping. It is an upgrade on what we previously had and my husband and I think it is really comfortable. It does the job well and if you are like me and don't sleep that well camping generally then this will be a game changer. I am happy knowing I will be able to sleep comfortably. Mat folds up to a good size for storage. The down side to this is the instructions are WRONG. There must be a manufacturer defect and the valves are installed incorrectly. We followed the instructions and were not able to deflate mat using the instructions. VERY CONFUSING. We actually could deflate by removing the whole plug which is silly because why have a valve at all? Anaconda were accommodating and really tried to help by trying to fix the valve themselves. They ... MoreBought this mat for camping. It is an upgrade on what we previously had and my husband and I think it is really comfortable.

They said it had happened a few times with this particular mat and reading the reviews it seems to be a common problem. They allowed us two more weeks to return the item if we decided it wasn't good for us after all the shemozzle with the valve.
Sure, it is comfy and about the softest of camp mats but it has no durability. We had 2 of these over 3 years but they both developed slow leaks after the first handful of trips. We just slept on it and tried to patch the leaks each time they appeared. With much care and effort we identified the leaks and found them to be slow leaks from multiple areas of the upper membrane. Barely discoverable but it will deflate well before morning. I think it just comes from the stresses of compression and transport.Anaconda were good and replaced the first one when we showed them the problem but we gave up after the second one also had issues, even with gentle handling.We have observed the same problem in same same product with other people, they had not realised it was ... MoreSure, it is comfy and about the softest of camp mats but it has no durability.
