The Contents of Your Air Bed Delivery Will Include the Following:

A) Mattress Cover or Shell.
B) 2 Sets of "Sling"Foam, Perimeter Rails.
C) Air Inflator: Either the Eclipse Air Pump, Digital "Deluxe" Air Inflator or the Digital "Ultra" Air Inflator.
D) Attached "Wired" Remote Control(s).

E)  Air Chamber(s)  (1 for Single Air Chamber, 2 for Dual Air Chambers)
F) 1.5" Standard Convoluted Foam Layer or 1.0" Memory-Cell Comfort Layer Upgrade. **
G)  Pre Assembled, Solid Wood Base or Foundation. (Optional)

(Not Knock Down or Plastic.)

(Also included will be any accessories (BedLegs, Mattress Protectors, Massage Units, etc.)
**You will also have an additional 3" layer of combo, Memory/Latex Foam, if you purchased the Series 8, Emerald Air Bed.

2. Place mattress cover on a flat surface

(box spring foundation or recommended Matching Foundation). Unzip the cover(shell) top completely. (If you purchased the Series 8 Emerald Air Bed, unzip the second zipper on the pillow-top and insert the combination Memory/Latex foam layer, into the removed top layer.)  Place the cover so that the ends, with the exit holes on the underside, are at the head of the bed. Position the foam rails. The end and foot rails should be positioned first. The side with exit holes for the air hoses is the head rail; make sure this rail is at the head of the bed. Then place in the side rails.  Make sure the cloth on the rails is flat to the surface, like a wide"U" and there are no folds under the foam rails.  Don't worry about any wrinkles to your new Air Bed or internal components.  They will disappear, once the system has been inflated.

3. Unfold the Air Chamber(s)

and place them flat inside the mattress cover and between the "Sling" foam rails (1 for single, 2 for dual). With the hose on the bottom and facing the head of the bed, run the air hose(s) through the exit holes in the Cloth nearest the Head Rail and then through the holes in the cloth cover.

4. Unpack the Air Inflator

and place it on the floor, at the head of the bed. Plug the Air Inflator into a 110-volt electrical outlet. The Eclipse, Digital "Deluxe", and Digital "Ultra" Air Inflators all have 2 air outlet ports. The Air Inflator should be positioned so that these ports are facing away from the head of the bed. Take the hoses from the Air Chamber(s) and connect to the air outlet on the Air Inflator. Make sure the left hose goes to left port and right hose goes to right port, as they are facing the wall. Take the hose from the Air Chamber(s) and connect it to the Air Inflator by pushing the tip of the hose into the air outlet and turning the ring outlet clockwise (Approximately 5-10 Degrees).  Be careful not to over tighten this connection. This will ensure a tight connection. You can now slide your Air Inflator under you bed. Make sure the hoses are not kinked in any way.

5. Inflate the air mattress:

Take the remote control and press one of the FIRM ( ) buttons to inflate one air mattress. The indicator light on the control will illuminate to indicate the inflator is activated. Repeat with the other air mattress using the FIRM ( ) or SOFT ( ) buttons to adjust mattress firmness.

6. Place the Convoluted or Memory-Cell comfort layer on top

of the air mattress with the convolute side up. (If you prefer, you may place convoluted
comfort foam mat under the air mattress instead of on top.)  At this point make sure that all the internal components (the "Sling" rails and the Air Chambers) are somewhat squared up, inside the bottom part of the cloth shell.  Position the cover back over the bed and zip it up. Use of a mattress pad is recommended to help keep your Air Bed cover clean.

Everyone's optimum firmness level is unique. Your comfort level may also change with time.  One Advantage of Sleeping On a Air Bed is that the firmness of your sleep surface can be adjusted to suit your body's own personal preferences!

To initially determine your comfort level, may we suggest the following tips:

• After fully inflating your Air Bed, assume your "Sleep Position". Lay down on the Air Bed for a few minutes, to let your body adjust to the firmness and feel of your new Air Bed. Physically feel how the bed forms to your bodies contours or doesn't. (EG:) The small of your back, your hips, sides, etc.
• From this point, do not pay any attention to the digital, numeric readout.  First, press the soft button, on your remote control, and let air out until you feel as though your body is "Sagging".  For a minute or two, feel how the "Sagging"Air Bed feels under all the different contours of you body (Your Back, Hips, Sides, Shoulders etc.)  Now press the button and fill the air bed to where your body feels the pressure was to begin with (No Peeking at the Numbers). Stop! This is a good initial firmness setting and if you were at a Select Comfort™ Store, they would now say "This Is Your Sleep Number™"!   Also, if you have visited a Select Comfort™ Showroom and have gotten your "Sleep Number™", you can divide that number by 2, to start your adjustment period.  If you have a Memory Feature,  set the memory now.  Studies have shown that any setting over 33 mm/Hg, can cause Pressure Points!  The majority of those people who own our beds sleep at a setting between 20-25 mm/Hg.  It is important to try this initial setting for at least 4-5 nights so that your muscles can be given the chance to adjust to your New Sleep Surface.  We have also found that people that have hip and shoulder issues, usually get more relief at settings even lower than 20 mm/Hg.  People with back issues seem to prefer settings in the mid to high 20's mm/Hg.  In the future, if the airbed feels to soft or to hard, you can always soften it or firm it up by pressing the   buttons.  We find the best setting is the one that makes you feel as though you are "Floating", which is much different than having pressure from springs, pressing up against your body, causing you to toss and turn!  "Floating" is not "Sagging"!  Floating is the absence of pressure against your body.  Please remember that you sleep more "IN" an Air Bed than "ON" an Air Bed!
• Shortly you will find the comfort level that is suited to you. Once you have found your initial comfort level, allow your body to adjust to your new sleep surface for a few days (4-5 Days) , before making any major adjustments.
• Remember that every time you make a Any Adjustment to the comfort / firmness level, you will be starting the adjustment process all over.  It will be like getting a whole new bed and it again may take a few days before your body will adjust to it!  There is no "Magic Number" or Setting that your body will tell you is instantly perfect!  Please do not expect immediate gratification or complete relief of your chronic issues, that you may have had for years.  Muscles have memory and the chances are, they will need to be given the time needed to be retrained and let the new air bed do the work!   It took time for your body to get into the shape it is and it may take some time to recover.

Dear Michael:

"I just wanted to tell you how happy we are with our air beds. As a Nurse Practitioner I often talk to my patients about the importance of good sleep. I can truly say that these beds offer amazing comfort. I was skeptical about ordering our beds online, but from the initial phone call I felt well cared for! My husband and daughter were worried about the quality of the product and their sleep. Both love their air beds and are sleeping great! Thanks for the great product and substantial savings! I'm glad I did the research that lead me to your site! I'm sure we'll be returning for our other children in the future.

Sincerely,"

Jackie Tomko NP NY
