The fastest and easiest way

If you have purchased a modern model, most likely a special pump is attached to it. It is with its help that you should both inflate and blow out the mattress.

To do this correctly, follow these recommendations:

1. Fill the product with air no more than ¾. In this case, you will extend the life of the little thing and do not provoke a sudden divergence of seams.
2. Ensure that the opening valve fits snugly against the pump cord or screw nut. Otherwise, the process of filling with air and emptying the product from it will be longer.
3. Having decided to blow off the air mattress with the help of a pump, do not strive to speed up the process even more by pressing hard on it from above. You will not benefit from this for a long time, and you can damage the product very easily. Even the strongest seams can come apart.

Important! If you decide not to waste your strength and energy in order to bring the mattress in the form you need, and leave them for the upcoming vacation, but the pump is not included, take care of its availability in advance. To do this, select:

• electric model - if it will be possible to connect the device to the battery of the car or the mains in the country;

• foot - if access to electricity is absent or will be extremely limited.

A manual pump model will cost the least, but if you decide to save this way, correctly calculate your strength.

Quickly solve the problem without a pump at home

This method uses the principle of air injection, which can be obtained through improvised equipment. Your vacuum cleaner is best suited for this purpose. The only thing required is a special nozzle or needle. In extreme cases, a match is suitable, which must be very carefully inserted into the air valve.

Otherwise, everything is the same as with the pump: turn on as usual, if you need to blow off an air mattress, or reverse if you need to fill it with air.

When not to rush

If you have a lot of time or you are not in a hurry to inflate, blow off the mattress, you can act in such ways:

1. In nature, you can inflate a mattress if you fill in a large garbage bag, which is then attached to the air valve of the mattress.
2. You can blow off an air mattress by simply opening the valves and leaving the product in this position for several days. But this is only if the item does not have additional built-in safety valves against accidental air leakage.
