anyone know how to keep an air bed inflated during the night?
Ive had an airbed for the past 3 months, thanks to bedbugs, ive had to get rid of my bed and my couch later, i got the airbed on purpose so bugs couldnt nest where im sleeping. it worked cause since i got it 3 months ago i never see them now, its rare. saw a couple of stragglers and once i killed them nothing, so ive been free of them for months now. the problem is it deflates a little at night and since i have hip implants its harder to get out of bed if i need to use the bathrm, i cant blow it back up till morning cause its loud and it might wake up my neighbors, i blow it up before i sleep, theres no holes on it, its not deflating all the way, just enough to get annoying. any suggestions? cant get a regular bed right now cause i dont want them living on my mattress which is why i got this one.

Call your Medicaid representative and give them this information. They will keep your information private. But you should be able to get a hospital type bed with the plastic protectors and they should deliver it and set it all up and my sister said they even moved hers when she moved. But she was wheelchair bound at the time. I'm considering such things myself as my joint disease is degenerative.and I live alone. I want to stay independent as long and to what extent I'm able. And your landlord should provide extermination services. As for your original question, there is a leak somewhere. Most likely around the inflation port. Once you put the air in close the port tightly and then cover it with several layers of duct tape. See if that helps. If not you can find your leak by putting it underwater in the tub.

pearllederman my neighbor helped me figure it out, i was supposed to put the plug in this whole and cover it up, guess it was letting out too much air with me not doing it, and yes, my apt is doing something about it, theyre not ignoring stuff, ive had my place heat treated and sprayed several times, i got rid of my bed and was told i needed to get rid of the couch too, thats when i got rid of the bugs, pest control has been coming once a month to check on things and to do whats needed to get rid of them -
Linda Joy I'm glad to hear that. No one should have to live like that!

I blow mine up every other day & it stays inflated all night. So can't really say. I've heard hot weather expands it though. Linda Joy's answer makes sense.

Except for the typo where porttightly was changed to forthrightly! Lol. (I edited it) And thank you.
