- Hey folks.
It's Lauren from Snowys here,
with the BlackWolf Hexatherm 3D Diamond Cell Queen Mattress.
Making soft stretchy fabric.
It's 10 centimetres thick.
And a bonus,
a true queen mattress size.
So your queen mattress, as you can see,
packs down relatively tidy.
It weighs about seven kilos.
Measures 75 centimetres long,
by around about 43 centimetres in diameter.
As you can see the bag,
the pack sack is quite roomy there as well.
So you've got loads of space
to put your mattress away.
It does come with a repair kit,
as well as this little adapter.
Which BlackWolf say you can use
if you want to use like a 12 volt powered pump,
mattress pump with your mattress.
So the overall dimensions when we're fully inflated
is 201 centimetres long
and 150 centimetres wide.
Now this is pretty unique
in terms of camping, mats, doubles and queens.
They're usually around about the 130 centimetre mark.
But exactly like a queen mattress
that you'd have at home,
which is 152.
This is that 150 centimetre,
so you're gonna get a lot more space.
And the mattress is also 10 centimetres thick.
So whilst I've got this lifted up for you,
the base of the mattress is 190 thread count polyester.
Which means it's nice and durable,
and it's got a bit of a texture to it.
Which means it's less likely to slip
around on the floor of your tent.
So the mattress top and sides
is a 30 denier super soft stretchy fabric,
that's coated in TPU.
And the mattress inside
is a diamond cell cored foam,
which makes it nice and firm.
But as you can see the texture across the top here
means that whilst you're getting
the support of the mattress,
the surface itself is quite soft
and it helps to mould against your body.
Now in this queen size mattress,
we have a double valve.
One on this side
and one on this side.
Now, as you can see on.
Screw this here so you can get a close up
of the little valve on the inside.
So that cap screws off
and it's joined in here
by this little silicon or plastic toggle.
Which means you're not gonna lose it.
Then on the inside,
we have this two-way valve.
So essentially what the two-way valve means
is that on one side it's an inflatable,
or it's on its inflate function.
Which means no air that you've put into the mattress
can escape and come back out.
And then when you wanna deflate,
we are just gonna turn that around, like so.
And sit it into place.
Which means that when you're trying
to roll the mattress up.
Air will be coming out
but it won't be going back in again.
Now, whilst we're talking about this little valve.
I do just wanna show you here.
You can see there's this soft silicon o-ring
that's around the edge of this valve.
In order for the valves to function perfectly.
You're gonna want to get that little o-ring seal
nice and good on the edge of the plastic tube itself.
And that way no air will be able to escape
around the edges of that as well.
So the mattress itself is bonded.
Which means that the material on the top and the base
is actually adhered to the foam.
So there's no problem
with you storing the mattress away rolled up.
Now it also is self-inflating.
So when you are getting it out of storage,
you need your valve.
You can have your valve fully open like this
if you like.
Or you can have it onto the inflate stage.
And the mattress will draw air in
and essentially inflate itself.
However, some people might find
if they're rolling into camp late at night
and they don't have time
to set their mattress up ahead of time.
Or if they like it a little bit extra firm.
Then the pump sack-
Or I should say the storage sack
doubles as a pump sack.
So as you can see
we've got this little hole on the end here.
And what that will do quite simply,
is connect to the valve on the mattress like so.
And create a good nifty little seal
or a good little seal around there.
And then you're just simply gonna scrunch up
the end of your bag.
And bunch it all together.
And the air that's trapped inside the storage shack
will be forcing its way into the mattress.
And that's how you get a nice firm,
solid pumped up mattress.
So if you want any more tips
on how to inflate your mattress.
Check out our video up here.
We also have a great how-to
on how to effectively
and efficiently deflate your mattress
for a nice compact pack size as well.
So make sure you check that one out
in the show notes also.
That's about it
