Product Features

• No Air Pump Required: The pad automatically inflates upon opening the valve.
• Integrated Pillow: Includes a pillow to keep your head elevated for restful sleep.
• Quick Deflation: Features compression straps that assist in forcing air out when packing up.

Setup (Inflation)

1. Unroll the Pad: Lay the sleeping pad flat on a clean, level surface.
2. Open the Valve: Locate the free-flow valve on the pad and open it. The pad will begin to self-inflate as air enters the foam core.
3. Pillow Inflation: The integrated pillow requires manual inflation. Locate the separate valve on the pillow and blow air into it until desired firmness is achieved. Close the pillow valve securely.
4. Adjust Firmness (Optional): For a firmer sleeping surface, you may manually blow additional air into the main pad's valve before closing it securely.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the sleeping pad, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Storage (Deflation)

1. Open the Valve: Open the main free-flow valve on the pad.
2. Deflate Pillow: Open the pillow valve to release air.
3. Roll Up: Starting from the end opposite the valve, begin to roll the pad tightly. As you roll, apply pressure to force the air out through the open valve.
4. Use Compression Straps: Utilize the integrated compression straps to secure the rolled pad and squeeze out any remaining air.
5. Close Valve: Once fully rolled and compressed, close the valve securely to prevent air from re-entering.
6. Store: Place the rolled pad in its storage bag. Store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Pad Not Fully Inflating: Ensure the valve is completely open and allow sufficient time for the foam to expand. For initial use or after long storage, the foam may need more time to regain its full expansion. Manually blowing air into the valve can help achieve desired firmness.
• Pillow Not Inflating: Confirm the pillow's separate valve is open and manually blow air into it. Ensure the valve is securely closed after inflation.
• Difficulty Deflating: Ensure both the main pad valve and pillow valve are open. Roll the pad tightly from the opposite end of the valve, applying consistent pressure to expel air. The compression straps are designed to assist in this process.
• Puncture/Leak: If a small puncture occurs, a repair kit (not included with this specific model but often available separately) can be used. Follow the repair kit instructions carefully.
