At Bears Rock, we strive to create products that are close to the user.
Even when thinking about preparing bedding for disasters, many people feel that they 'have no place to store it' or 'worry if they can actually use it'.
Therefore, Bears Rock proposes the 3cm inflatable mat as bedding that can be prepared without difficulty and is practical to use.
We are also rolling out a new color, 'Mocha Brown (Sleeping Parent and Child)', which easily blends into everyday spaces.
■ Why the 3cm Mat is Chosen for Disaster Preparedness
- Compact for storage, making it easy to keep on hand
- Self-inflates just by opening the valve, ready for immediate use
- Simple structure that is easy to handle even for beginners
It features specifications that balance both 'ease of preparation' and 'ease of use'.
■ Choosing a Mat for Disasters Isn't Just About 'Thickness'
Camping mats are often compared by thickness, but for disaster preparedness, that alone is insufficient.
In evacuation centers, the space available to unpack belongings is limited, and sleeping in a car requires taking it in and out of the vehicle.
Therefore, what becomes important is the perspective of 'whether it is actually usable', such as:
- Is it portable?
- Can it be used immediately?
- Is it easy to pack away?
At Bears Rock, we conduct verifications focusing on the 'usable balance' rather than just thickness.
■ The Choice of Compact Preparedness: The Realistic Balance of '3cm'
The characteristic of the 3cm mat lies in its balance of storability and practicality.
When stored, it is not bulky and fits easily into closets or cars, allowing for effortless preparation as an extension of daily life.
Additionally, because it is structured to inflate naturally just by opening the valve, it takes no time to set up.
Unlike air mats that require stepping on a pump many times to inflate, it significantly reduces the burden of preparation.
'I want to be well-prepared, but storage space is limited.'
Under such conditions, 3cm becomes a realistic option.
Instead of stepping on a pump about 130 times, it inflates automatically just by opening the valve.
■ Why It Doesn't Bottom Out Even Though It's Thin: The Role of the Built-in Foam Structure
This structure brings three effects.
The Bears Rock inflatable mat adopts a structure with built-in urethane foam inside.
With this structure, it features:
- Dispersing body pressure across a surface
- Suppressing sinking
- Reducing swaying when rolling over
Compared to air mats filled only with air, there is less sinking, providing a stable sleeping experience where you are less likely to feel the hardness of the floor directly.
Many people feel swaying when rolling over or instability when sleeping on air mats due to their air-only structure.
In contrast, the inflatable mat has built-in urethane foam, offering a stable sleeping experience.

■ 'Portable, Storable, Ready to Use' is Crucial for Disaster Preparedness
In an emergency, you cannot always expect to use items in a prepared environment.
That is exactly why elements such as:
- Easy to grab and go
- Quick to roll out
- No hassle to store
greatly impact actual usability.
The 3cm mat easily meets these conditions and is one of the realistic choices as 'usable preparedness'.
■ How to Think About Choosing a Mat by Use Case
Mats have different roles depending on their thickness.
- Prioritizing comfort and sleep quality -> 5cm
- Prioritizing storability and ease of handling -> 3cm
It's not about which is superior, but it is important to choose based on the usage environment.
Considering limited space and storage environments, 3cm can be said to be an appropriate thickness as 'preparedness that can be realistically maintained'.
■ Features of the '3cm Mat' Revealed from Usage Environments
At Bears Rock, we have repeatedly verified the usability of the 3cm mat while assuming actual usage environments, checking how it performs indoors and outdoors, and how easy it is to set up and store.
Through this process, the following features have emerged:
- Highly storable and easy to stockpile
- Easy to set up and pack away, simple to handle
- Foam-core structure prevents bottoming out
- Perfect size that is easy to use even in limited spaces
=> It is important to choose not just by thickness, but by the 'usable balance'.
■ A Design That Blends into Daily Life: 'Mocha Brown (Sleeping Parent and Child)'
Furthermore, a new color 'Mocha Brown (Sleeping Parent and Child)' has been added to the 3cm inflatable mat line.
Featuring a calm mocha brown color adorned with an illustration of a relaxing parent and child bear, we have finished it in a design that easily blends into everyday spaces.
Being able to place it where it can be seen is also one of the important factors in continuing to be prepared.
The new color 'Mocha Brown (Sleeping Parent and Child)' is on sale at authorized dealers from April 7, 2026.
