once inflated to how u like it, can you leave it like that or will it deflate itself? don't want to deflate every time, and have to inflate again.

Actually, it did stay inflated. The problem was that for some reason it stopped heating up. The red light kept blinking. If you want it for the lumbar support it will work, but the combination of heat and support were crucial for me.

Seems to stay ok, unless you squash or fold it. Not sure it wouldn't lose air over time.

Just air it out - fluff it - turn it over a few times. We haven't had a problem with it.

Umm honestly I never tried to deflate it but I know that it does come with the things needed to inflate it so I am sure if you saved those things you could deflate and inflate it

Ours does not deflate completely but does lose some air from being outside. (Physics) If yours completely deflates, a return might be necessary

You need to pump it up in stages so you wiuld need to wait that long just to inflate it. Once inflated you can use immediately.

Yes, it inflates when you blow it up and before you dive you can deflate with the valve...than re-inflate when you resurface to rest.

Yes. It comes mildly deflated and you can just turn it in the box to find the inflation point if giving it as a gift. Do note that over time it will gradually lose inflation again, and you just re-inflate it. I have found a that a slight lack of air pressure, decreased the amount of impact damage 2 small kids can do with it indoors. That said, from a replica point of view, it is mildly annoying that it will not hold it's inflation pressure well over time.

it should inflate somewhat when you take it out of the bag but if it doesn't just fluff it up, thats what I do when it deflates

I've deflated the bed several times and had no problems. I put the bed back in the bag that was provided and store in a closet. Hope this helps.

It stays inflated. It doesn't come with a pump though so you will need that also. And don't overfill it because ours ripped at the seams and is not fixable

yes it is self inflating. you may have to add extra if you want a more firm feel.

I have a twin size and had no problem with it staying inflated with one person sleeping on it. In fact, it stayed inflated for four nights without re-inflating at all.

You will see on the instructions the "why" -- it doesn't fully inflate the first time -- you are just inflating it to a firm touch -- and you will wonder "why so small"? On the second time -- next day it will inflate much more -- and then needs one final step. There is a hand pump that comes with these exercise balls that you can use on the final time if you prefer.

Not true in my experience. You should inflate it when you first get it and leave it that way until you need to pack it for your trip. This is true with most sleeping pads.

You can inflate & deflate easily with an electric pump. It's so large, you probably wouldn't want to store it inside. Once it's deflated it can fold up to a decent size.

You have to squeeze the tip while blowing into it. We did it and it stayed inflated all day and still is.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!
