Inflating an air mattress with a built-in pump is super convenient. Here’s how to do it quickly and easily:
Step-By-Step Guide
- Find the Pump: Locate the built-in pump on your air mattress. It’s usually a small compartment on the side of the mattress.
- Open the Valve: Find the air valve, also on the side of the mattress. It will often have a cap or cover that you need to remove.
- Plug it In: Make sure the pump has a power source. It’ll either have a cord to plug into an outlet or run on batteries.
- Switch it On: Look for a simple “on/off’ switch on the pump. Flick it to “on”.
- Let it Inflate: The pump will start working! The air mattress will begin to inflate. Monitor the firmness as it goes.
- Close the Valve: When it reaches your desired firmness, switch the pump off. Quickly close the air valve to prevent air from escaping.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Location: Make sure you have enough space around the mattress for it to properly inflate.
- Noise: Built-in pumps can sometimes be a bit noisy.
- Power: Always ensure the pump is plugged in or has working batteries before you start inflating the mattress.
That’s it! Your air mattress is now inflated and ready to use!
