After airing up, is there something to close? Son's bed, and he is 80 pounds, keeps losing air through the night.

The nozzle by the on/off switch needs to be turned completely to closed. If it still loses air, you got a lemon and should contact Amazon to replace it. That's what happened to me. First use with m 130 lb son and it lost air. Replacement held my 200lb hubby and didn't lose any air.

There is nothing to close as far as I know. It is an air bed, so I expect it to lose some air.

My air tube popped out easy to blow it up. I use the air mattress pump now much easier and that might work if yours is defective. Or send it back.

My brother who is 6'2 and 240 lbs slept in the bed over the last week. The air mattress needs to have some air put in it at about day 4 but the frame of the bed does not sag.

The airflow in the back for an infant laying down is not good. I live in Texas and our son would get super hot when I put him in it. I did buy a portable fan that helped a little. Great concept, but would have been better if they used mesh on the back part to help with airflow.

The fan isn't strong enough or tall enough to reach the top bunk. I suggest installing a ceiling fan in that room. If that is not possible maybe a stronger or taller floor fan would work. Hope that helps.

We had an air pump at the hotel and they blew it up for us. The second time I let the kids blow it up they are 12 and 13. I think it's harder to deflate. lol. Good luck and enjoy

Try a king or queen-size sheet folded in half. I would glue it, but you, of course, could sew it shut. Or just put it under a mattress pad.

My mattress was also off gassed when I bought this item. If you're looking only for something that will trap off gassing, Mylar blankets or Denny Foil is something consider.

I had the same issue and it took a while to figure it out. Since we use it rarely we don't recall how we finally did it. If I recall correctly, the pump mechanism really does not let the air out. I think we took the mechanism off the mattress. You'll have to experiment with it.

I had the same prob. The manufacturer suggested an extra mattress pad on top. I put two and it worked like a charm!

Hi Keiranna, I'm not sure. I have not tired. It has been 28 days and Mickey is still standing but not at full capacity.I see another person comment that Mickey can be reinflated again. I may try that myself.

You can get the bags deflated the majority of the way with little strength. If you really want them to have absolutely no air in them, then you need a little strength and technique. My wife would get them mostly flat, but then I would put them on the bed or the floor, roll them up like a tube of toothpaste and put my weight on the bag to get the last bit out. Then I unrolled and flattened to pack in our suitcase. Just make sure you close the double zip lock well and not block the air escape vent with clothes from the inside. There is one passage out a corner that just needs to not have clothes right up against it. You can get the bags deflated the majority of the way with little strength.

depends on the amount of air pumped into the bed, we tend to the hard side here. Grand sons love it, my daughter travels with it when visiting over night because it is a fast and east way for Theo to sleep.

I also have a comforter. Thick, but not so heavy. Air comes thru just fine. If yours is ultra thick, don't know if it would cease the flow of air. Then again, you can always take the comforter off the bottom of bed where the air flows thru. Sorry I can't be more help. It is a wonderful fan.

I would not. They deflate pretty easily. For example, any night my 3-year-old son ended up resting his head over it, it was completely flat by the morning.It worked great to train him to not fall off the bed. But I wouldn't use it on my 6-month-old baby or anyone larger than maybe 40lbs. Maybe a foam roll or memory foam body pillow that you can tuck under the sheets? That's what we use when visiting at my parents' house. I hope this helps.

I bought it to inflate queen size mattress and it sounded alarm immediately but inflated about half way then stopped. Honestly it may have inflated twin. Perhaps the queen was just too much area to push the air into.

I have my bed fan at the foot of the bed on my side and it just blows up along my body under the sheet. My husband doesn't feel it at all.
