how did you air it out?

I took it out of the plastic and set it on top of a plastic bin so air could get all around it. Since was a slow process I took the zippered cover off and set the pillow insides on the bin. A couple of times a day I squeezed it and turned it over.

I left the pillow out on a table for about 24 hours, turning it once. It still had a little smell to it but that went away quickly.

I placed it on a chair in front of an air purifier for 3 days. Worked like a charm.

As indicated in the instructions by leaving it on the bed for a period of time without use.

I have a floor drying fan that I placed the pillow in front of for about an hour then flipped it over and let it run for about another hour. Did the trick for me, may need to run longer if the smell is still there.

Left it in the laundry room in the plastic case, but unzipped and opened for a long weekend while we were traveling

We used an air mattress pump. You can do it by mouth, but it would take quite a while and a lot of effort.

I haven't thought about that yet, since it's only my first year in August. My guess is take it outside and blow it off with a compressor or if you don't have one; take it to the nearest gas station where they fill up air for tires and blow it off

Yes - and I remommend blowing it out with some forced air (can, compressor, vacuum) from time to time.

The easiest way to get the air out is by the displacement method, in which you submerge the bags as far as possible in water while zipping them closed. The water pressure forces most of the air out.

I've always used negative pressure to cool things in a smaller area. This means pull the hot air out.

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.

You uncap the plastic nozzle and blow a few puffs of air into it. Doesn't take much. In fact the one in the photo would probably be overinflated for me.

Just squeeze as you blow air in. No need to punch a hole, you'll break it. I slightly bit down as I blew air in.

I lay it out and use a water vac to suck the air out of the valves. Then fold each side into the middle then fold it up.

I let mine air out for a few days in my garage and then put two pillow cases on them. Worked perfect.

You wanna turn the bag upside down and start trying to prime the air out, if you squeeze it while priming it will eventually get the air out. At least that's what I remember doing. We haven't had one in several years.

I have done it. its not safe to inhale so keep away from children. Place in discreet areas

We were able to just pop it out, just pushed from the inside. But it flu out so be careful!

I actually got mine at a children's exchange sale and luckily it was already blown up. Because you do have to blow it up through your mouth but I'm sure a small air pump valve would work too.

It was inflated, but we did add a little more air to it. Really starts up a conversation when we drag it out to play.

We used a pump. I would NOT recommend trying to blow it up by mouth as it would take forever. Not sure what kind of pump though, but I am guessing most would work.
