May I please ask you to tell me how to deflate it, how long it takes to deflate and whether or not it *fully* deflates using this method. Thank you!

I usually just let it sit with the plug pulled out, it takes about an hour. It doesn't fully deflate so you have to step on it. I don't have to deflate it usually so this doesn't bother me. :)

There's a large nut around the air intake that secures the one way valve. Take that off and it deflates in maybe a minute to as flat as it can before rolling. After that, fold it in thirds, bringing both sides across the middle with the valve being on the bottom and center, then roll it up. Round trip time is about three to five mins and it's completely flat.

Most pumps can be reversed to take air out of a mattress. I have done this when I drove one to set it up in a new location after about a week car trip, where any extra space would have been a problem. The mattress easily fit back in its original box after about 30 seconds or less of pumping.

In relation to the first comment, I thought the directions recommended to only use it when inflated. I just love this pad, you can inflate to whatever size you want .I highly recommend it, fits great in lower back or for shoulder pain.I was just using it today for a muscle spasm. Worked very well indeed. the purpose

Only way (I think) you will decompress will be vacuum seal it again. It's filled out, does not take that long.

Mine deflates at least 50% between uses. It's annoying, but it's so fast to reinflate that I don't care. If you're using it a lot it will be inconvenient.

Mine was shipped partially deflated, so you'll want to make sure you have a way to pump it up.

It definitely deflates some with each use, but it takes two seconds to blow it back up because the air hole is so big. I think that's the beauty of it. It's intended for travel so you can quickly blow it up and then deflate and roll it up small into a bag.

It's recommended you leave the bed plugged in at all times. I slept with it unplugged and it lost a tiny, tiny amount of air. But overtime it will go flat, the point of this bed is the 'NeverFlat' system, and for it to work correctly it needs to be plugged into an outlet while being used. I have decided to start deflating the bed in the morning after I get up. It only takes 4 minutes to deflate and inflate anyway.Hope this helps!

I get one... and i do not get any issue with it, the pillow area works for me... the only issue i get now its deflating a lot...and i can not get the hole maybe is the valve... i do not want to loss it.. but i don´t know how to replace it and even if there is a replace for it

It'll take days to inflate it by mouth. If you use a dinky car charger air pump, it takes about 30 minutes. If you use an inexpensive electric air pump it takes about 5 minutes. Deflating is pretty quick, but good luck fitting it back into the carrying bag it comes with. It's very difficult to be able to get every little bit of air out and roll it up as flat as it was when we got it.

Buy an air pump that has a deflate option and it is a piece of cake. Deflated it goes in the box it came in. I bought two and my grandkids beat them to death wrestling, running on them and jumping off them for two weeks of daily abuse. Love these floats. Great buy.

There's a button on the pump you press it down. If you want it completely deflated you'll have to apply pressure.

It took maybe 10 min to deflate. I just unplugged the stoppers and pressed/sat on it. Daughter helped. It folds up pretty nice, about the size of a medium suitcase. Maybe 3x2ft. I takes time to fill up, so if it's going to be a toy you use everyday, leave it out.

I would guess mine took about 1 minute to inflate. My son did it every night and it was really quick!

You can use some kind of hand pump, but I just blow it up by mouth. Beware, there's a one-way valve in the stem - so be sure to pinch the stem while you're blowing it up. I'm 65-years-old and it takes me about 2 minutes to inflate completely. Hope that helps.

When its turned on to deflate is takes no more than 5 mins. What a great air mattress and I have owned many. The owner of the company is extremely customer and quality centric.

It usually takes me only a few breaths to blow it up. When you blow into it try slightly pinching at the base of the piece that sticks out. Doing this allows more air to flow in at once. Also do this when deflating.

I simply plugged it into the electrical outlet at my camp site and pressed the button. It inflated very quickly and stayed inflated. I then did the same, in reverse, to deflate.
