If your air bed is new and feels like it’s sagging or losing pressure, this is a sign that it is stretching, not leaking. Simply reinflate the air bed until it reaches the desired firmness. It should maintain a constant pressure and shape within 2-3 nights.

This could be down to several reasons, such as small punctures, loose or faulty valve. 

• If the air bed is new, it could be stretching. Simply reinflate until it reaches the desired firmness. It should maintain a constant pressure and shape with 2-3 nights.
• Check for leaks in the air bed by listening for hissing noises or using soapy water to create bubbles that will form where the air is escaping.
• Check that the valve is securely fitted or replace the valve to stop further deflation.

The weight capacity is the maximum weight the air bed can hold.   

• For single air beds the average weight capacity is between 100-150kg.  
• For double air beds the weight capacity is between 200-300kg.   

Please check the packaging or the user manual for further information.
