How to choose the right size for your MT500 mattress?
This model is available in L and XL versions.
The difference between the 2 sizes is in length (180 cm for the L; 195 cm for the XL) and width (52 cm for the L; 60 cm for the XL).
To choose the mattress that suits you best, you must of course take into account your stature, but not only that.
Your build and/or your preference for shoulder room should also be taken into consideration.
So even if you're 1.75 cm tall, you may prefer the XL!
Tips for sleeping well on your mattress
Once you're lying down, remember to adjust the mattress inflation pressure by pressing lightly on 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 slippage of your sleeping bag on the mattress.
How do I fold the MT500 Air mattress?
The easiest way to fold your mattress without damaging it is to fold it lengthwise into quarters and then roll it up.
How to repair a leak on your MT500 Air mattress?
An inflatable mattress is not indestructible, but it can be repaired!
When using an inflatable mattress, the utmost care must be taken in its installation and handling.
In the event of a problem, we recommend the use of self-adhesive repair patches (ref: 8584596).

What is R-Value?
The R-Value is a measure of thermal resistance. It measures the ability of a mattress to retain or prevent heat escaping from a warm body (the human body) to a cold floor.
The higher the R-Value, the better the mattress insulation.
Note that R-Values are additive; this means you can use 2 mattresses and add up their R-Values.
All our mattresses are tested to ASTM F3340-18.
Which R-Value for which use?
R-value from 0 to 1.9: Hot season (summer) use only
R-value from 2 to 3: Use over 3 seasons (spring-summer-fall)
R-value from 3 to 6: Use over 4 seasons
R-value > 6: Use over 4 seasons and in extreme conditions (glacier, far north and high altitude)
