Darche All Terrain Mattress 900

Badly made - leaks around valves – Bought two of these mats for our tent. About the third time of using them noticed that they were not holding air. One of the selling points was that they have four valves to let in air. This is unecessary and is the main week point. The bonding of the wall to the valves is badly done and the walls just pulls out from the valves allowing air to leak out when inflated or air to leak in when they are rolled up. This has occured with several of the four valves on each mat. Whilst each mat was supplied with a repair kit to fix a punture, but this repair kit is no use to fix the defective bonding of the valves. Not sure if I got two from a defective batch, but I would not recommend buying these mats.
Very comfortable mattress – Not only the best roll up mattress I think you'd find but, at least for what I want in a bed, the best mattress you'll find anywhere. I have one question. Can anyone tell me whether I can use an electric blanket on this mattress? In the instructions that came with it it says "do not expose the mattress to prolonged periods of heat" so I'm guessing that I can't use my electric blanket on it.
Purchased in at Aussie Disposals, Bathurst.
Well constructed and comfortable camping mattress - PHENOMENAL – I purchased this mattress from a third party website before I knew I could buy direct from the company. I was anxious about buying a camping mattress that was $200+ as I thought camping matts were the only thing on offer, I never knew they'd developed this product. I unboxed it and straight away thought it was well constructed. The seams were solid, there were no evidence of cheapness about it.
Inflation was easy - unscrew the caps and it did it itself. I left it for about 90 minutes for no other reason than I was busy elsewhere. I don't know how long inflation took but it didn't faze me.
Trying it for the first time I was blown away - I put it on the ground and laid on it and thought it was more comfy than some of the hostel beds I'd stayed in! Its a firm mattress but you don't feel any undulations or pressure points with the ground. I'm not a lightweight either and despite my size, this product easily held me. I think the telling point was that while I was meant to be testing it, I woke up an hour later.
I've seen plenty of reviews about Darche online, particularly YouTube but this is the first product I've purchased that has left me thinking it was an absolute bargain!
