Suitability for a stretcher and 3D vs 2D1 answer
1 Would this may work well on a Oztrail Jumbo padded stretcher? 2 Are there any advantages over the 2D versions of the Hexa therm mats? Theses pack a bit bigger so why would you choose this over the 2D?
Benjamin - St Andrews, NSW(2 years ago)
G'day Benjamin,
Any self-inflating mattress will work on a stretcher, as long as the mattress isn't too much bigger than the stretcher itself. We've answered comparisons on the 2D v 3D mattresses before: The main differences are the shape/construction, with the HexaTherm range having a boxed side like a classic house mattress. The 3D Hexatherm is also 10cm thick, so a touch thicker than the 2D Super Deluxe, and has a slightly different structured foam. Because of that reason, the 2D mattress feels slightly firmer. Ultimately they're great both great mattresses, & are both popular options.

How does this mat compare to the older 2D super delux?1 answer
Tried the 3D mat in a local store & found it to be much softer, with my hip hitting the ground. Never had to add extra air in the 2D mat I own currently.

G'day Bert,
You're probably already one step ahead on the comparison having actually tried it out yourself! The main differences are the shape/construction, with the HexaTherm range having a boxed side like a classic house mattress. The 3D Hexatherm is also 10cm thick, so a touch thicker than the 2D Super Deluxe, and has a slightly different structured foam. Ultimately they're great both great mattresses, & are both popular options. The most important thing is choosing what feels for you and your body!

Repair kit1 answer
Does this bed have a repair kit, and if inflation valves fail are replacements available?
Michael - Oakleigh South, VIC(3 years ago)
G'day Michael,
Yes, the Black Wolf HexaTherm 3D Mattress range comes with a repair kit for any fabric tears. The valves themselves are replaceable, but they are not a stocked part. If you ever need a replacement valve you can contact Black Wolf or get in touch with us here at Snowys, and we'll see what we can get our hands on.

Comparison and warranty1 answer
How does the inflation valve on this one work? Is it the same as the Zempire? They look to be be comparable in size, weight etc (minus r-value). I've heard a few reports on potential leaks/seal issues with the Zempire. Are these sorts of things covered under the Black Wolf warranty? The lifetime warranty seems generous compared to only 2yr from Zempire. Any reason to choose one over the other?
Jarrah - Vic(3 years ago)
G'day Jarrah,
The HexaTherm 3D mattress as a flip valve on it, so it is a very similar set up to the Zempire mattress and a few others on the market. You flip the valve from inflation to deflation when needed. This mat is comparable to the Zempire Monstamat, with the King Single version being the closest in size. In terms of warranty - this will only ever cover manufacturing defects (from any company), leaks are usually caused by small holes/punctures, which can easily be identified and patched. If there is a leak/seal issue with the valve then this will generally be covered by both manufacturers. Black Wolf have offered Lifetime Warranty on most of their products since the beginning, which is good, but it won't cover you for wear and tear/punctures. We think both are good options, with the Black Wolf having a slight edge at the moment due to the higher denier stretch fabric top, and the R-value being verified under the new ATSM regulations, so far Zempire haven't had their mattresses assessed, so it's hard to directly compare the R-value.

Good for hot sleepers?1 answer
I am a hot sleeper and will mostly be using in subtropical climate as a spare bed. Will this be too uncomfortable?
Megan - Carseldine(3 years ago)
G'day Megan,
You should be fine on the mattress in warmer climates, generally, the insulation in the mattress will help insulate you from the cold ground in colder weather, but it won't be any hotter than other options over the warmer months. We'd recommend popping a cotton sheet or similar over the mattress in warmer conditions just to keep the top clean.

extra inflation1 answer
Can you use a pump to add extra air to the inflation of these mats? If so what pumps would be recommended?
Amanda - Perth(4 years ago)
G'day Amanda,
Yes, you can add a little bit of extra air to these mats if you prefer a firmer mattress. The stuff sack doubles as a pump, so you can use that to add a little extra air.

Packed Dimensions1 answer
How is it the packed width (or length) is 68 cm, but the external dimensions have a width of 76 cm? I assume went deflated the mat is slightly wider than when inflated and that it is roller up from the end (or top) opposite the valve(s). If this is the case, the rolled up length would be at least 76 cm.
Franco - Horsley(4 years ago)
Hi Franco, we got very little information form Black Wolf on these mats, so had to wait for all the stock to arrive and measure ourselves.
That being said, we weren't quite right with this one and we have since updated it. The box that the mat is packed in measures 82cm length and 26cm width and height, so you are right in that the packed length is a little longer than the inflated width.

Round or square edges?1 answer
The old version had rounded edges so just wondering if they have improved this one with square edges, like exped and vempire. There is only 1 picture and it doesn’t show the edges.
Adam - Coogee(4 years ago)
G'day Adam,
I've just double-checked and yes the HexTherm 3D have square edges which are similar to the Exped and Zempire.

hexatherm 3D vs megamat1 answer
How does this product compare to the exped megamat?
Rosy - Melbourne(4 years ago)
G'day Rosy,
The Hexatherm 3D Single and the Megamat 10LXW are pretty similar. Both mats are essentially the same size and shape (with a 1cm variation). The fabric on the top is slightly different, with the Exped being a little softer to touch, and the Hexatherm 3D being a slightly higher denier. The overall weight of the Hexatherm 3D is a slightly higher, and it's R-value is slightly lower, so if you camp in winter this might impact, however, in general, the two mats are quite similar, with the Exped mat being a strong seller in the market for the past 10 years, and the Black Wolf a newly designed competitor.
