Filter Matt is a double-layered mattress with each layer joined to the other at fixed intervals to form filter points.

The spacing of these filter areas can be varied to increase the thickness and weight of the inflated mattress, with the external forces anticipated on each particular project determining the thickness of mattress required.
This style of mattress is ideal for the protection of:
