How to choose the right size for your MT900 Air Isolant mattress?
This model is available in L and XL versions.
The difference between the 2 sizes is in length (183 cm for the L; 195 cm for the XL) and width (54 cm for the L; 63 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!
How do you inflate your MT900 Air Isolant mattress?
To avoid blowing moisture into the mattress, we recommend using the pump bag in the cover.
To do this, unroll the entire pump bag/cover. Connect the valve on the pump bag to the "IN" valve on your mattress. Blow about 10-20 cm from the pump bag inlet to inflate the main volume as much as possible. Roll the bag back to the valve to expel the air from the main volume into your mattress.
How do you sleep well on your MT900 Air Isolant 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.
A special coating on both sides of the mattress prevents your sleeping bag from slipping on the mattress, and the mattress from slipping on the floor mat.
What components are used in this mattress?
We use the same fabric on both sides of this mattress: a 40-denier polyamide with thicker 45-denier threads to limit the risk of tear propagation.
How to repair a leak in your MT900 Air Isolant 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: 8557113).

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)
