Just bought this and it doesn't fully inflate on either end. Wondering if this is a common problem or if I just got a defective pad?

I didn't pay much attention to the ends of the pad, but I did inflate it more by blowing it up to make it more firm.

You may have to physically blow some additional air into the valve to fully inflate - and thus fully extend - the mat.Only complaint I have with mat is I'm a 'side sleeper' and the 2" thickness is still not enough to avoid pressure points at hip and shoulder. (Adult male, 5'9", 195#.... Maye the 195# thing is more of the issue!!)

Mine fully inflates. Didn't notice anything on the ends to show that it is not the same as the rest of the unit. I do blow a few breaths in to it though. Might be a bad unit.

If given enough time, after the initial few days to let the foam recover it's original form, it inflates fully. Use your mouth and lungs and blow two full breaths in and you'll be fine.

Not sure if you might have same problem but looked like my wedge pillow had a piece of plastic blocking the hole down inside the stem where you insert the pump. I poked it with a small knitting needle and worked fine after that. The pillow takes some effort to inflate but don't bother to fully inflate. I found about half inflation is most comfortable.

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!

hmmm send it back. it should work to push the jellyfidh up with air. it should push air for a few seconds then wait a few sconds. sounds like you have a faulty one. we've had ours for 3 yrs.

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

this has not been a problem for me. Are you zeroing it out? Has this been a problem from the first for you? Mine has always settled in, but there are occassions when it does kind of go back and forth between for example 27g and 28 g if you are really on the edge of a little more than 27g and a little less than 28g. I hope this is helpful. If yours is bouncing all over then perhaps you have a defective one. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck.

I never use anything but the low setting which is always sufficient for me...unfortunately I started using my old pad again because the plug connection on this pad keeps pulling off....I don't understand why this plug is on it, it's not on any others and I think it's a design flaw. the pad itself is so comfortable and soft and doesn't bunch at all..but the plug pulling off became much too much of a problem...the heat on low however was great...hope this helps

I have to say middle pad does not work. Both side ones are so strong middle does not seem to work at all. I don't feel it on any setting

This must be an error in the product you happen to receive. i would exchange it for another one. I am very pleased with my transformer pad tf300 and dock. everything fitted perfectly. yours just happen to be a manufacturing error. it happens. hope this helpsAlida

I had mine blown up for about 5 weeks at one point. Seems there is some amount of stretch that will happen as it is first used. Meaning I did re-inflate it a couple of times early on, but at some point it appeared to stabilize and no longer require more air. Thats all I know, YMMV

I guess not enough pressure (though mine works on almost no pressure) or somehow defective...maybe return and get a new one.

That was a cocern when I got mine but I haven't encountered a similar problem. I woul d send it back & get another one.

It looks like this thread died. Does anyone out there have suggestions on how to deflate and roll this? I'm a single female weighing about 130 pounds and I've had no success. I have sat on it, stood on it, lain on it, squeezed it, put cement blocks on the ends... nothing is working. Help!

not new,My pad is still under warranty ,EVERYTHING all normal, I plan to returned before, now I don't think it's have any problem, the key is cheap,so I use it

It sounds like your tube maybe under inflated, and we had to use a good air compressor to properly inflate the our tube. I have never had a problem with is submarining even with three teenagers laying on it and we used ours a lot over the last couple of summers. Like the rest of those that have responded; we have no holes in the bottom of our tube so I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer to see if you have a defective tube.

Yep we have had the same problem. If it's not completely level it will do that. We also have to take our portable air compressor and re-inflate it all the time. It serves the purpose for the summer. Cheap enough that we buy a new one each year.

Probably due to the cycle time. If you shut it off and let it cool down a little while inflating it should be fine.
