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.

You can contact the seller about the problem and they'll send you a new better pack for free. I had the same problem and the new pads are amazing

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.

The separation issues are due to over inflation. I had mine for 3+ years using it daily i'd only have to ad air once every few weeks. I bought one for a friend around the same time I got mine and his only lasted a year but he had a tendency to aim for the firmest he could get resulting in the sections violently separating one by one till it was a round mass on the top n bottom. if you use it right it's not an issue. if you need it that firm you prob shouldn't be getting an air mattress. I've bought several more over the years for friends and family and am about to buy another one the people having this issue over inflate simple as that.

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 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

it may have too much dust on it to stick. clean the pad with a little soap and water and try it again

Hi, sorry for the late reply, just got back. Yes, my pad is still working, no issues to report.

i think you may have it on the pad backwards. I did first off. now it works fine...

Return or exchange it. This is an awesome dog bed and it should have popped into shape and been ready to use almost immediately. I am very impressed with it. You must have a defective one.

You might want to try and remove more air from it. Mine doesn't really slosh. Only if I am moving my pillow a lot does it slosh some

no, it doesnt inflate like the the sides...the bubble mat goes under to make it comfortable but a better option is to use gym or garage interlocking foam mats and its so much more comfortable....they dont cost to much either to upgrade.

Honestly, pick some other pad, specially if you are going out if country and it'll be hard to return. It WILL stop working on you, IF it ever works at all. I'm dead serious, find something else.

I had this happen to mine before. Once was when it was not plugged in all the way from the cord where it goes into the pad. Another time it happened after the power went out; we just unplugged it from the wall outlet, then plugged it back in and it worked fine. Hope this helps!

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

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!

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