The one I got sounds as if it is dying in pain as it inflates. Is this normal?

They have very good customer service. So check with them. I got an upgraded model for free because this one was not very accurate for me.

I did not hear any noise. HOWEVER, several medical professionals have told me that the arm bloodpressure is much more accurate. You could compare readings both at the same time to determineif and what difference it makes. (Also, I've been told to wait 5 min. between taking the pressures.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

I've used several different brands and they all seem to bubble/gurgle. I'm using this one now as I write and there is some definite noises present. So I imagine this is normal sounds.

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

I had the same problem too. I used my air compressor and just stuck the end in the hole and stuck a rag around in the hole to clog it. It took me about 30 min. to get the thing inflated,but I finally got it.Hope this helps you out.

Because I was in a hurry to use it, I just did it by mouth and quickly capped it so I didn't have this problem. Maybe it is more difficult if you inflate it with a needle?! I'm over 70 so it was a little difficult for me to get on initially but once I found out how it works for me I no longer have that problem.

Maybe yours is different than mine. It's just a different sized nozzles to that you put into different sized holes of what you are trying to inflate.

Sorry but that does not sound normal. Ive had mine for a while now and it hasnt made one noice yet. Check your warranty, might be a problem in the upcomming future.

Mine is an older model. It has no inflation options. I just press the start button.

When you unroll it, it inflates. You have to do this a couple of times before it fully inflates.

Mine makes the same sounds, I am interested to know if more people have this issue....

I believe so.My daughter was just here this weekend using it and she stopped inflating it to test the firmness and then restarted it.You can make it firmer than the default as well.

Sounds like something is caught inside it. Try blowing it out from both directions with compressed air.

It's most likely on the black underside, so you might try squirting some dishwashing liquid on it after inflating it--the air bubbles show up better that way. Then, use some rubbing alcohol to clean the spot before patching it. Good luck!

It's supposed to make laughing sounds while it rolls around. I would exchange it, and get another one.

Mine also makes the same popping noise, i'm sure it's just normal though...hopefully haha

No Kay, actually the sides hold a slight amount of air if I keep getting up to reinflate it, while the middle holds absolutely NO air at all, resulting in a confusingly painful back ache. The disclaimer written right on the mattress states that if it loses air, it's not a leak! What a rip off! It would be funny if it wasn't so painful.I bought this mattress so I could sleep near a very sick relative. I'm now back to sleeping in a chair, which is more comfortable than the mattress. If you hear about a better one, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!
