3.3. Achieving the Desired Firmness
To achieve the desired firmness‚ inflate the airbed gradually while periodically checking its firmness by pressing firmly or sitting on it. If using the electric pump‚ turn it off once the airbed feels supportive but not overly rigid. For manual inflation‚ add air in small increments‚ testing the firmness after each addition. Avoid over-inflation‚ as this may cause discomfort or damage. Once satisfied‚ ensure the valve is tightly sealed. Proper firmness ensures optimal comfort and safety‚ so take your time to adjust it correctly.
Deflating the Intex Airbed
