Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dreamlock construction?
Dreamlock is Vango's innovative foam-cutting design that allows the mat to pack 20% smaller than the previous model without any compromise on comfort or support.

What does R Value 9.1 mean?
R Value measures thermal resistance — how well the mat insulates you from cold ground. A rating of 9.1 is excellent, making the Lux 12 suitable for spring, summer, and autumn camping in Cornwall and the South West.

How does the Lux 12 Double compare to the Shangri-La II 10 Double?
The Lux 12 is 2 cm thicker and uses Dreamlock construction for a 20% smaller pack. It also has a higher R Value (9.1 vs unrated), making it better insulated. If you want the latest technology and best packability, the Lux 12 is the upgrade.

Is it suitable for Cornwall camping?
Yes — the R Value of 9.1 and 12 cm foam depth make it well suited to the cooler nights you can get on Cornish campsites, even in summer.

How do I pack it away?
Open the Cyclone valve fully, roll tightly from the far end to expel air, then use the compression strap on the carry bag. Dreamlock construction means it packs 20% smaller than the previous Shangri-La double model.
