Wanderer Extreme 4x4 Mat

Waste of money Doesn’t do as product describes & not comfortable to sleep on as sags one end & middle then blooms up the other end Doesn't inflate as much as described Will not purchase anything for that companies brand again Show details

Not up to scratch – The mattress bottoms out very easily. If you add more air it just balloons out at your feet. Mine leaks after being used only twice. Show details

Material? – I have several inflatable mattresses and this was one of them. I live in the bush and have never seen a silver fish in 25 years in my house. Non of my other materesses were touched but my new Wandered, a few months later, was the only one full of moth holes on the mole skin side. New mattress in the bin. What a waste of money. Something in the material attracted them. Could not find any residual material. Weird.

Not worth the money – I still hit the ground when lying on mattress, it balloons up everywhere around me - due to it not being bonded. Also incredibly difficult to pack into bag - which is also very poorly constructed and ripped on first use. Not happy. Show details

No Instructions! – I bought this last week, January 2021. I used it last weekend on top of a wooden platform in the back of my Hiace van. I inflated it “automatically” by unscrewing the four valves. It inflated in five minutes. VERY VERY comfortable. More so than my very expensive home mattress. Possibly the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on. BUT, deflation… Read more

time came. How to do that “automatically” as advertised? I searched the carry bag.No instructions. I was in a wireless available area, so I watched a YouTube video, which covered inflation, but not deflation. If there is an automatic way of deflation I could not figure it out. I am a large strong man, so I managed to crush it with the help of the straps that came with it and get it small enough to get it in the bag. It wasn’t easy or automatic. When I got home I was able to suck out the air using an industrial vacuum and make it usefully compact. Is there an automatic or even a better way to deflate? I notice others have this problem.

Fantastic mats – We have had this for a few years now and it has been a fantastic mat. Top is flocked so comfortable to sleep on directly if necessary. We never hit the ground when we sleep on them so the other reviewer must have had a leak or not done the bungs up. We arent small people either. The outer is attached to the inner to stop it moving so… Read more

again, the other poster must have a faulty one. Better than others we looked at in terms of quality of materials and design. We camp weekly so it has had a lot of use in all sorts of conditions.

Great thickness (better than most). Inflate quickly and pretty easy to roll up. Waterprood too and easy to clean.

Can't fault it.

Barely ok, really needs some improvement – With self inflating mats, you have bonded, and non bonded. Bonded means the outside plastic is adhered to the foam, so the foam cant move inside and the thickness stays similar when you're on it. Non bonded means there's a cut of foam, inside an air mattress. This is a non bonded, so when you get on it, your body sinks down to the ground, and… Read more

the surrounding mattress balloons up. The whole idea of having air in there is useless, when you're on it, it just moves around. You may as well just buy a cut of 12mm foam.

The only good thing about having the plastic on the foam, is you can push the air out as you roll it up, close the valves and tie it up, and it stays nice and taught. where as a roll of foam would be trying to expand and would be a pain to roll.

It's pretty sweaty sleeping on these things, as you're just sleeping on a layer of plastic on foam. sleeping on foam normally is better as you're body can breath a little. Adding a mattress topper to this 4x4 matt makes it a lot better, or ideal a woollen underlay, as wool wicks moisture away better.

Unfortunately at our big camping stores in aus we don't have a whole lot of options, and BCF doesn't like to use other brands than wanderer, so you don't have much choice!
