How to inflate a self inflating mattress?

Here is a general overview of how to inflate a self-inflating mattress:

1. Unroll the mattress: Lay the mattress out on a flat surface, making sure the valve is facing up.

2. Open the valve: Unscrew or twist open the valve on the mattress to allow air to flow in.

3. Wait for the mattress to inflate: The mattress will begin to inflate on its own as air enters through the valve. The time it takes for the mattress to fully inflate can vary depending on the model, but it typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes.

4. Check the firmness: As the mattress inflates, periodically check the firmness by pressing on it with your hand. If it is not firm enough, blow air into the valve to add more air. You can also use a manual pump to inflate the mattress.

5. Close the valve: Once the mattress is fully inflated and at the desired firmness, screw or twist the valve closed to prevent air from leaking out.

6. Unfold and use: Once the mattress is fully inflated, unfold it and place it on your camping tent or any other desired surface.

It is recommended to inflate the mattress in a well-ventilated area, and to not over-inflate the mattress as it could cause damage. Also, some models might have a separate inflation and deflation valves, so make sure you are using the correct valve for inflating.

ZEMPIRE CAMPING EQUIPMENT

Where do I start when pitching a Zempire Tent?
Following the instructions (included in your tent bag or you can find on the products’ webpage), practice pitching your tent at home to ensure you understand the process and that you have everything you need.

When picking a spot for your tent, try to find an area that is sheltered, flat and free from sharp objects. If possible, position your tent with the front door facing away from the prevailing wind. Try not to pitch your tent under trees as falling branches and tree sap can damage the tent and you’ll want to avoid cleaning bird poo off it!

Be sure to clear the site of any stones, sticks and any other objects that cause damage to the tent floor. It is also a good idea to consider using a Zempire groundsheet for your tent to provide further protection to the floor and make pack up easier.

How do I clean my Zempire Tent?
The tent can be cleaned using a damp cloth, sponge or soft bristled brush and water to remove any small spots of dirt etc.

For a heavier clean, pitch the tent at home and use warm water and a damp cloth, sponge or soft bristled brush to gently clean the tent.

Never use detergents, bleaches, dishwashing liquids etc as these can damage or remove the coatings of the fabric. There are speciality tent and gear cleaners available if required, these are usually available at specialist camping outlets.

Be sure that the tent is completely dry before storage.

While camping, try to keep the tent as clean as possible. If possible, try to minimise the amount of dirt, dust and sand etc from being tracked inside the tent.

How do I avoid UV damage to my Zempire Tent?
Tent fabrics can be weakened by long term exposure to sunlight.

Under normal holiday use, your Zempire tent will give you many years of camping enjoyment, however extended use in strong sunlight will cause degradation. It is recommended that during periods of strong sunlight a Zempire roof cover is used to help provide extra protection from UV damage.

Do not leave the tent pitched for extended periods of time as UV damage will degrade the fabric.

Fabrics can be recoated with various products to reinvigorate their UV resistance and improve waterproofing. It is always a good idea to test any coatings that you are thinking of applying to your tent to a small test area to make sure they are compatible with the fabric.
