    Has anyone successfully installed a valve in a cut off piece of NeoAir pad. I have one with a bad place in the middle and am think of cutting out the bad part and making a sit-pad/pillow from one piece and a short sleeping pad from the other. The resealing looks easy, but I have not seen where anyone has successfully installed a valve.

    Any clues?

    Thanks guys. The video seems to only be for sealing the seam not adding a valve or am I missing something?

    The thread does give me an idea of one way to do it. Seems a little crude, but perhaps it is effective.

    You could also PM Dan about it. He's a great guy and usually helpful.

    I in no way want to hamper your enthusiasm for this DIY project, but you should realize that Sierra Designs have amazing warranty support on their products, so if the "bad spot" isn't obvious external damage, I would suspect the mattress to be of more value as a trade in for a free new one then as a hacking project.

    If you melted, or slashed, or something else your NeoAir, then carry on as if I hadn't said anything and modify to your heart's content!

    Your advice is good. Since my last post, I called Cascade Designs and they agreed to cover it under warranty despite the fact that I did not remember when or where I purchased it and thought it was probably out of warranty. The gave me an RA# and I shipped it back a few days ago.
