Check that your inflation valve is securely in place.

If your airbed is new and, after use, feels like it is slightly deflating or losing pressure, this is a just a sign of the material stretching and is not an air leak.

Simply re-inflate the airbed until it reaches your desired firmness. It should maintain a consistent pressure and shape in 2-3 nights.

If the above is not relevant, please skip to below.

If you think you have a puncture or air leak, follow these steps:

• Firstly, check that the inflation valve is properly closed
• Fully inflate the airbed
• Rub a soapy water solution all over the airbed - bubbles will appear anywhere a hole might be.
• Once you have located a puncture - deflate the airbed and make sure the area is clean and dry.
• Press the included repair patch firmly over the puncture following the instructions.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before re-inflating your airbed.
• For more help: watch this video.

If your Bestway airbed has a built-in pump, you can inflate or deflate without using the pump.

There are two versions of airbed with built-in pump.

• Safety inflation valve located near the built-in pump. You can use the safety valve to inflate the airbed with the external air pump.
• Without safety inflation valve. This new version and the safety valve is in the centre of the knob of the built-in pump.

Watch these two videos:

• Inflate
• Deflate

Check that the inflation valve is securely and firmly in place.

If your inflatable is new, the material just needs to stretch on the first couple of inflations.

If it has lost a bit of air pressure, simply re-inflate until it reaches your desired firmness.
