Exped MegaMat 10 vs Platypus QuickDraw

“for what it's worth we bought a megamat and a losthorizions off amazon, and ended up returning the megamat. the losthorizons mattress is half an inch thicker, just as comfortable, and half the price. only drawback is that the bag it comes in (which doubles as a pump) is floppier and less intuitive to use.”

“Yesterday bought a new Platypus Quickdraw, and it failed the integrity check out of the box, even after filtering several liters of water. I was going to take it back today, after hearing all the stories of them failing out of the box. But I wondered if maybe it was the kind of thing where when it's brand new, air just gets trapped in some of the micro tubes, and because a new one filters so fast there's not enough pressure to force the water into every part of it I wondered if letting it sort of soak over night would help. So I filtered a bit, capped both ends, and let it sit till morning, and now it passes the integrity check! Worth a try if you have one that fails out of the box.”
