Title: Problems with the Valve
Product review: I bought this for our camping trip to the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee. The valve on this matress has a little flap on the inside that is supposed to stop air from coming out while you're securing the screw-on valve. Unfortunatly, the design of the pump is such that you have a plastic nozzle that pushes the flap back to far to shut properly.What this means is that you pump it up nice and firm, but the flap does not properly prevent air from escaping while you secure the valve cover. So you end up with not nearly as firm a matress as you would otherwise have.I will say that the mattress did stay at the the less than firm inflation point while we slept on it overnight, and the pump was robust and quick. However, the valve flap problem is serious enough that I am returning the product.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
