Preserving an air mattress primarily involves proper storage to prevent damage and maintain its condition. Based on available space, there are two recommended methods for storing your air mattress.
Air Mattress Storage Methods
The optimal way to store your air mattress depends on how much space you have.
For Ample Storage Space
If you have sufficient space, the best approach is to minimize folding and keep the mattress in a stable environment.
- Storage Method: Keep it slightly inflated, flat, and at room temperature.
- Recommended Locations: Store it under your bed or upright in a closet, for example.
- Benefit: Storing the mattress slightly inflated helps prevent creases that can weaken the material over time. Keeping it flat also avoids stress points.
For Limited Storage Space
If space is tight, folding becomes necessary, but it should still be done carefully and stored appropriately.
- Storage Method: Store it folded in its cover.
- Recommended Conditions: Ensure the storage location is dry and ventilated.
- Benefit: Folding allows for compact storage, while a dry and ventilated area helps protect the material from moisture and mildew.
By following these storage guidelines, you can help preserve the integrity and lifespan of your air mattress.
