We tried one of the self inflating mattresses but could not for the life of us get the air out again.

You need to roll the air out as much as you can, once you have rolled it up with the valves open close them off and unroll it.
Once unrolled, roll it back up a second time but with the valves closed until you have pushed the remainder of the air towards the valves.
Open the valves and continue rolling until the last bit of air is out and then do the valves back up. Job done.

Its not about going fast. Its about going somewhere
Bought some oztent gecko camp stretchers for our family camp trip cup weekend down at Inverloch . Gee my wife and I were really impressed with them . Great quality and comfy . The room underneath them when set up comes in handy for the gear and clothes .
The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .

How do they pack up?

we also use camp stretchers I can't remember the brand but they are the steel frame ones BCF sell, we went with the steel ones after my brother ( 100kg ) tested them in store rodeo style. The steel definately seemed to hold up alot better than the ally ones.
I usually carry all my bedding rolled up in my swag and just throw that on top which is great when its a bit cold as it stops the cold air getting at you from beneath the stretcher. Although with a wood fired heater in the tent it's not that often that its cold.
