Anyone having a deflation issue? My ball seems to get deflated each time I use it. is that normal or does mine have a leak?

Mine doesn't have any leaks. Maybe you got a defected product and probably should contact the store to replace it for you. (Mine doesn't get deflated very often. I mean I inflate it like once a month or once in 3 weeks).

I don't know if that is normal but I do inflate it about it every other day.

They are deflated. If you are a first time buyer, you will want to buy a ball that comes with a pump.

Hi Alison, The ball should have come with a plastic straw. Insert this into the ball and inflate by blowing by mouth. The ball doesn't have to be inflated beyond what you can do by mouth. Just be careful when you put the white plastic plug in the inflation hole to seal it. This is where you can loose some of your pressure. This may take a few tries until you get the technique. Be ready to cover the hole with your finger after taking the straw out. Take the straw out of the ball while you're still blowing into the ball. Good luck!!

the lid has only come off of mine one time and I think it was my own fault for not making sure it was securely pushed down but I am thinking that if it is a concern maybe a piece of duct tape that you replace each time you refill the ball.

I am not sure, but I am having a similar problem also mattres has been fine in every way holding air and firm, but in the past two days it keeps looking air similar to yours leaking on one side and eventually goes down completely. Guess we both need to figure it out unfortunately cause I really like it a lot.

The ball should have come with a needle for inflation. You will need an air pump to fill the ball. Only fill the ball slightly. When you pull the needle out, it should self seal.if not send it back for s new one. .

It has a little valve for inflation/deflation -- pretty much like a beach ball or other inflatable.FWIW: we had to use ours 'til my dog (Aussie/golden cross) had his stitches out from knee surgery -- scheduled out at about two weeks -- and it was fine.

I had pressure loss from a ball saver that was about 2 yrs. old. I immediately ordered another unit as it kept my balls in bouncy condition. this could also be due to a leaky gasket. Call the co. & see if they've had other complaints. I use mine 7 days a week & love it. It's made in the USA.

I have bought two of these. No problem with leaks, but realize that with thin plastic air will permeate it. Need to top up with air every few days to keep bounce-back action working.

I got mine on ebay and also got a smaller ball. I'm hoping the answers are correct and it will stretch out. I know the ball I already had seems a lot thinner than this one. So maybe that's why.

Mine sprung a leak the third time I used it. I emailed them and they gave me a full refund without the need to return it. Hope this helps.

I have to say I've used my bed several times over tthe past few months and never had an issue with it deflating! Actually had friends over and they used it 3 nites in a row and only repumped it once. And it wasn't completely deflated.

The balls are inflated when we get them in stock.You can always deflate the ball when you receive it

I have had problems keeping air in the balls. I have 4 Wilson NCAA and none of them will hold air over 8 hours. Not sure what to advise but I will not purchase any more for my team.

I just tested mine and the silver ball at the top does unscrew. Might yours be on to tight or maybe a defect?

I haven't yet, and don't anticipate it deflating anytime soon. I have a decades old exercise ball and pump which I have never had to use, so I expect the same.

Make sure the ball end fits into the socket snugly then tighten. If I remember correctly, I heard a "snap" or "pop" when it was in correctly. I took mine on a 1500 mile trip and it never loosened or popped off. I hope this helps.
