ORTLIEB mattresses are made from a special grade of open cell foam and a fabric
which is not only more abrasion-resistant and anti-slip than all other mattress
fabrics, but also more puncture-resistant. The fabric, and therefore the complete
mattress, is of course waterproof. The new and innovative ORTLIEB mattresses
relegate some unpleasant situations to the past: No more sleepless nights sliding
all over the place in your tent! No more searching and cleaning the ground of
sharp and pointy objects before laying the mattress (continue to do it though
for the sake of the groundsheet if you are in a tent).
- Anti-slip surfaces: The ORTLIEB mattresses remain where you
put them, they do not move,thanks to the anti-slip fabric. Once you are in your
sleeping bag on the mattress you will not slide; particularly important when
lying on sloping ground.
- Puncture and abrasion-resistant surfaces: The fabric is extremely
elastic. The danger of a puncture due to for example,thorns, sharp rocks or
glass is significantly lower than with other fabrics. The abrasion-resistant
coating also makes the fabric extremely strong.
- Water-repellent surfaces: Water cannot enter the mattress
and will flow off. The surface does not absorb water. Important in wet areas
or regions with high humidity.
- Rapid inflating due to a large valve: The plastic valve of
the ORTLIEB mattress has a large air inlet: the mattress is filled rapidly with
air as it unrolls. Vice versa, air will escape rapidly when the mattress is
rolled up.
- Environmentally friendly: The insulation filling of the mattresses
is an environmentally friendly produced open cell polyurethane foam which is
fold-resistant and has very high insulation characteristics.
- Small packed volume and low weight: Compression of the mattress
is easy and using the two straps supplied, it can be packed into a small volume.
The anti-slip fabric makes rolling a lot easier. Although the fabric of the
ORTLIEB mattress is extremely strong and the foam has high insulation properties,
the weight of the new ORTLIEB mattress is comparable to other mattresses. New
in 2004: the Classic Light version just 120cm long and 2.5cm thick; reduced
length for even smaller packing volume and even less weight.
