The intensive plastic stench is inflated after a week declined edgewise in the basement standing on a manageable level. Without load the pressure (felt) remained constant. In the first eight samples (95 Kg), the mattress has seemingly lost much air but after was kept without any problems in night 2 & 3 of the pressure I suppose, the material has been stretched because of the pressurization by the sleeper. The valve itself is designed tight and smart. This very favorable pump is needed 140 strokes to inflate the mattress quite comfortable in 3-4 minutes on a comfortable hardness. The sleeping comfort is better than expected. A sheet should in spite of the flocked sun page draufpacken soon enough and in a cold environment under the sheet a thin blanket, otherwise it is from the bottom quite chilly as with all air mattresses. Draining and packaging goes quickly and smoothly not a permanent solution but a great guest bed for 1-2 persons.
