Setup
Inflation using the Built-in Foot Pump
- Unroll the air bed completely and lay it flat on a clean, smooth surface, free from sharp objects.
- Locate the built-in foot pump valve.
- Open the valve cap.
- Place your foot over the pump opening and press down firmly and repeatedly. Lift your foot slightly between presses to allow air to be drawn in. Continue this action until the air bed is fully inflated and firm to the touch.
- Once inflated, quickly close the valve cap to prevent air from escaping.

Inflation using an External Pump (Not Included)
For faster inflation, an external electric or manual pump (not included) can be used. Locate the larger inflation valve, open the cap, and insert the pump nozzle. Inflate until firm, then quickly seal the valve.
Operating
The Silentnight Double Air Bed is designed for comfortable indoor and outdoor use, providing a temporary sleeping solution.
- Comfort Features: The air bed features a soft-touch flocked outer surface for enhanced comfort and to help prevent sheets from slipping. It also includes a raised pillow section for improved head and neck support.
- Weight Capacity: The air bed has a maximum weight capacity of 300 kilograms. Do not exceed this limit.

Deflation and Storage
- Locate the interlocking quick-release valve.
- Open the valve completely to allow air to escape rapidly. You can gently press on the air bed to assist deflation.
- Once deflated, fold the air bed neatly into a compact size for easy transportation and storage.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the air bed, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the air bed to dry completely before folding and storing. The manufacturer's care instructions state "Dry Clean Only", however, for an inflatable product, a gentle wipe-down is the practical and recommended cleaning method.
Repairing Punctures
If a small puncture occurs, use the provided heavy-duty repair patch. Clean and dry the area around the puncture. Apply the patch firmly over the hole, ensuring good adhesion. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to set before reinflating.
Troubleshooting
- Air Bed Deflates Quickly:
- Ensure the inflation valve cap is securely closed.
- Check for punctures or leaks. Use soapy water to locate small leaks (bubbles will form). Repair with the provided patch.
- Verify that the air bed is not overinflated, which can stress seams.
- Foot Pump is Slow/Ineffective:
- Ensure the foot pump valve is fully open and clear of obstructions.
- Make sure your foot completely covers the pump opening during the downward press and lifts slightly to allow air intake.
- For faster inflation, consider using an external electric or manual pump (not included).
- Air Bed is Not Firm Enough:
- Continue pumping until the desired firmness is achieved.
- Ensure the valve is sealed immediately after inflation.
