Common FAQs on air
beds
As with any new product that someone tries, there are always questions
that come up. To make it easier for you, we’ve compiled a few common
questions people have about air beds. Read on to clear up on any
questions you may have about air beds.
Q: I’m not very much of an outdoor person. How can an air bed be useful
for me?
There are many reasons why people purchase an air bed for use besides
the outdoors. Some common reasons are for sleepovers, weekend visitors,
unexpected guests, guest rooms and vacations. People also use air beds
for dorm rooms, watching TV and as a temporary bed for accidents such as
water bed leakages. They’re affordable and portable as well, making them
useful for many other occasions.
Q: How long does it usually take to pump up the bed?
The timing will depend on the bed you purchase. Obviously, smaller beds
will take less time and larger beds will take more time. With air beds
that use a manual pump, or a foot pump, it may take up to 45 minutes.
However, if your bed uses electricity for pumping or is battery
operated, they’ll only take a few minutes.
Q: Why do air beds become loose after a few hours of use?
There are basically two reasons the air beds become a bit loose after a
few hours of use. One, the material expands when it is fully pumped.
After some use, as when a person lies down on the bed, the material will
likely stretch. Because of this, the air bed will seem to have lost some
air because of the material expanding. With air beds that have a
built-in pump or a SPS pump, leakage of air is less likely, although a
little air-leaking is common in all air beds.
The second reason is because of air contraction. When the bed is first
pumped, the compressed air in the bed releases heat and by the laws of
science, heated air expands and rises. However, after a few hours, the
air in the bed will start to cool and the air will contract, making the
bed slightly feel let out.
Q: How do I know when there’s a leak in the air bed?
To check for a whole or leakage in your air bed, you should first fully
pump up the bed. Then, mix a soapy water solution (such as dishwashing
soap with water) and apply the mix on the seams or where you believe a
leakage is present. If you see bubbles coming up, this may mean your bed
has a leakage there. When checking for leaks near a built-in pump, make
sure to be careful as you would not want to ruin the pump with the water
solution.
Q: How would I fix a leak on an air bed?
Many times, air beds will come with a small repair kit that can easily
be used to fix the air bed leakage. If it wasn’t included with the air
bed, you can also purchase waterbed repair kits or bike tire repair kits
to use on the air bed. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the
box.
