FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions.
Here are some common questions about Matnext Airflow.

Can the Airflow mattress pads be cut by hand?

YES – curves or corner cuts can easily be done by yourself with a good pair of household or tailor’s scissors.

Does the material lose stability after cutting?

NO – if you cut your mattress base to size, it is not necessary to sew it afterwards. The honeycomb structure keeps the stability even without sewing after cutting.

TIP: Cut the material in a place that you can sweep or vacuum afterwards, as cutting the material at the cut edge will loosen threads. Vigorously shake out or vacuum the mattress pad afterwards. There is no danger of the material disintegrating.

Can both versions of the 3D mesh pad be folded or rolled?

YES – We deliver the spacer fabric in handy cartons. You can fold and store the material just as easily.

Are Matnext Airflow mattress pads washable?

YES – it is a stain resistant polyester mesh that can be washed in the washing machine up to 40 degrees. Light stains can also be easily removed in the bathtub or shower with the shower head.
Basically, due to its nature, the material does not absorb odors or moisture. In the same course, it dries very quickly after washing, as liquids simply flow through it.

Is there a risk that the material will compress under load?

NO – spacer fabric is very resistant and can withstand loads of several hundred kilos due to the weight distribution over the entire surface. The many upright polyester threads make it possible for the material to return to its original shape even under punctual load.

Will the 10mm or the stronger PLUS version of the 20mm pad work for me?

Both versions serve their purpose and prevent condensation, waterlogging and mold growth under your cushions. If you want to ventilate small areas that do not require a serious gain in comfort, we recommend our cheaper 10mm version. For those who want to gain noticeable comfort, lie softer and ventilate wide areas, we recommend the 20mm “PLUS” version.

Can the Airflow mattress base also be used on the floor, or a plywood base?

YES – the original purpose of our 3D Mesh pad is to ventilate those mattresses that do not lie on a classic slatted frame. This is especially often the case in caravans, motor homes, boats or even at home on the floor. The Matnext Airflow 3D  pad provides a healthy sleeping climate in all cases.

Is the material also suitable for use in a roof tent?

YES – especially in the roof tent 3D spacer fabric is recommended by all leading professionals in camping.
TIP: Experience has shown that the slightly thinner 10mm pad is more suitable for use in a roof tent with a hard shell. Due to limited space, the 20mm version may not allow the roof tent to close. We therefore recommend in this case to choose the Matnext Airflow in 10mm thickness.
