However, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and quick the inflation process was. It only took a few minutes to fully inflate, and I didn't even need to break a sweat. Gone are the days of huffing and puffing to blow up a manual air mattress - AIRELAX does all the work for you!The real magic, though, lies within the inner foam layer. Not only does it add an extra layer of support, but it also provides a heavenly cushioning that cradles your body as you sleep. As a light sleeper, I often wake up with a sore back after a night of camping. But with the AIRELAX Sleeping Pad, those days are long gone. I woke up feeling rested and refreshed, ready to take on the day's adventures.Another fantastic feature is the durability of this pad.

We needed an extra mattress or a pad for our 7 year old granddaughter to sleep when visiting. This was delivered the day of her arrival. After it arrived, I opened the valve and nothing. I waited the 30" as recommended, still absolutely nothing. I thought GREAT, now I have nothing. I had read the reviews and figured I was the one who got a lemon that would not inflate as I had read and was a bit concerned. I tried blowing into the valve but that wasn't going to work. It's like the vinyl, or whatever materiel it's made of, was stuck together on the inside of the pad and with the summer heat and shipping, it was just glued together and wouldn't inflate. I waited 3 hours, nothing, 5 hours, nothing. What was I to do? They didn't arrive until midnight (plane was delayed) so I had a little time. I got our two very thick exercise mats and used this pad on top of them. I put twin fitted sheet on the whole thing and set my granddaughter up a cute little camping pad. She's 7 so I thought, no problem. I'll return the darn thing after they leave. I had to have something for her to sleep on. In the AM, I did not check the pad but later that day when straightening up I noticed the pad was completely full EVEN with the valve open. I had left it open in hopes some air would get into the pad. I closed up the valve, removed my exercise pads and remade the bed with XL twin fitted sheet (sheet fits twin and XL twin). It was perfect! worked well. It's very comfortable and inflated to the 4" it said it would. Even our 18 year old granddaughter took turns sleeping on it and said it was very comfortable. It's long enough for a taller person. I would recommend if you have trouble inflating, give it a day or so in cool air-condition room before sending it back. Her sleeping on it probably help loosen the vinyl up inside and it started inflating. The company should try and fix that problem but if you are taking camping, get it inflated/deflated a few days before taking it on the road or you'll be frustrated.TO DEFLATE: deflating was fairly easy too. I read the person's tips on deflating and it was spot on. Don't think you can just roll it up. My husband did it with ease and he's 68 with arthritis. You can do it by yourself by opening the valve, starting at opposite end and rolling it up as tight as possible. When you have done that, anywhere in the process you can close the valve, unroll it and start again. Laying your body on it as you roll is a must to get max air out. My husband did it fairly quickly and even when he had completely rolled it, he closed the valve, unrolled it, opened the valve and started re-rolling. He'd used this technique before because he used to have something similar when he went camping. It fit back in the bag with lots of room to spare, easy peasy. Don't forget to close the valve when complete. Think of getting the last bit of toothpaste out of your tube...lol...We will keep it in the closet inside the house. If kept out in the garage where temps rise, I definitely believe it will be a nightmare to reopen if not ruined entirely. YES, I would recommend this pad when you need an extra bed and just don't have the room to store a blow up mattress.
