Avoid this NeoAir mattress mistake

I thought about this last weekend when I was hiking in hot weather. I had inflated my NeoAir all the way, then thought better and let some air out.

I had a demonstration of the 'hot air expands' principle last year car camping with my girlfriend. We brought an airmattress, and since the battery for the pump was dead, we half-inflated it as home, knowing we didn't want to fully inflate it using lung power at camp. Stuck in the back seat half-inflated for 3 hours in the sun, it grew and grew till we actually had to let some air out.

It's right there on the instruction sheet to let some air out if you leave it inflated during the day….

Makes perfect sense to me. I probably wouldn't have thought of it without reading the instructions, but it makes sense.

Thank you Larry for posting this. You may have saved several neoair's from a similiar fate.
