The bubble effect on your REEF Mat is completely normal!

REEF Mats are designed for temporary use on the water and should not be permanently anchored. Prolonged exposure to water and environmental elements can degrade the materials over time. To ensure the longevity and performance of your REEF Mat, it's recommended to deflate, clean, and store it in a dry place after each use.

This is normal. They’ll disappear after exposure to heat – like the sun!

To properly store your REEF Mat, start by rinsing it with fresh water and allowing it to dry completely. Once dry, fully deflate the mat, ensuring all the air is removed to avoid unnecessary stress on the material. Then, fold the mat up and store it in it's storage bag to keep the mat protected from dirt and potential damage. Finally, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, or freezing temperatures to preserve its material integrity.

Yes, you can adjust the firmness of your REEF Mat by varying its inflation pressure. Inflation pressure amounts can be found on each REEF Mat's product page or in the instruction manual provided with each mat. It's important to avoid overinflation, as it can cause excessive stress on the mat's materials and potentially lead to damage. Similarly, underinflation may result in a less stable surface, affecting the mat's performance.
