After barely one night's sleep, my new multimat adventure superlite made a popping noise before delaminating quite spectacularly and rolling me off at 5am.

Already refunded but forgot to send it back. Should I send it back, imaginatively repurpose or landfill?

Turn it over and sleep on the other side.

Dig a small hole before pitching your tent.

Great suggestions (ahem) - sadly the blister is equally distributed on the topside also (underneath pictured)

If if had gone at the top end at least it would have created a pillow...

Heh... mine did exactly that when I accidentally left it in the roof of the van, right under the skylight, on a sunny day...

They suggested deflating it then blasting the blob with a hairdryer to melt the glue and fix it down again; it sort of worked but came undone again. I can't remember what happened to it, I think it probably just went in the bin... 🙁

Use as a spacer between bikes to stop them scratching?

Just use it as a thing to lie/kneel on when doing jobs on bike/car etc

Other half had one that did this in the tent. She was cOnvinced it was a persistent mole coming up under her, till the b'doing of it popping launched her up into the roof. Still laugh about it.
