8. Troubleshooting

Mattress Appears to Lose Air / Feels Softer After First Inflation

At first inflation, the material of the air mattress will naturally stretch. This stretching can sometimes be misinterpreted as a leak, as you may sense a loss of pressure. This is normal and expected.

Solution: Simply re-inflate the bed again. The mattress will fully settle within 2-3 nights of use. Continue to re-inflate as needed until the material has fully stretched and the desired firmness is maintained.
