How I fill my air chair.

Several folks have said they can't get their inflatable chairs full of air without using a leaf blower or a fan of some sort. I honestly think you should try it this way.
First, remember... even though it's all one chamber, the way its folded basically makes it function like 2 chambers.
Second, grab the inside 2 pieces of edging and use that as your "handle" to hold. You'll use your other hand to open & close the outer piece to trap the air. The part I think that's really key is closing the pieces together & trapping the air BEFORE you finish circling around, letting the bag drift to the ground. That's when you'll lose the most air.
Then, just get it rolled nice & tight...clip the clipy, and kick back!!! :-)

Thank you so much for this. I got this for Christmas and I just spent 15 minutes running around my dorm trying to figure out how to properly get air in it!

Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) ⚠️ Quran

My dad and in had such a problem filling this up and the made it two times more easier. Thank you so much

[@ambermartin3507]

I know the video is 6yrs old BUT my son just got one of these for his bday and the pic Instructions were terrible. This was a lifesaver, I had to comment Thank-you

[@cathyhoffmann7054]

I'm so glad!! Another thing to note, most of these loungers have 2 sides - a high side & a low side. On the high side, the seam sits up above the center, so you literally sit more on "top" of it.. whereas, with the low side, you'll sink down into it a little more. My oldest son has Sensory Processing Disorder & seeks things that are snug or heavy on him. When we go on vacation, we always take one of these, and anytime he gets overstimulated during the day, he'll grab his tablet & spend a good 30-45 minutes sunk down into the low side. I also like the low side, but only of the chair is really full of air & closed up tight. Hope your son (and YOU!!) enjoy it!! Even six years later, we sure love ours!! And yes, we're still using the original ones we bought 6 yrs ago. ;-)

[@ambermartin3507]

@@cathyhoffmann7054 thanks so much for responding 😀 And yes ours was leaning also lol You definitely saved me a headache and frustrated kiddo (who is also on the spectrum 🥰)

[@cathy3046]

Thank you! So glad to know my silly little video may have helped someone! No, I haven't had trouble keeping it inflated, however, to be fair, I haven't ever been able to lay in it longer than about 45 mins before being needed elsewhere. :) One thing you'll notice me doing in the video after its full the end is rolled, is kind of shaking or 'bouncing' the rolled up end. I'm making sure it's SUUUUPER tight & rolled really well - I think it holds better once its snapped together. Thanks so much for the comment!! I'd sure love to see a pic of your air chair after you get it all filled up!! :-D

[@lovinglifewitheli]

Thank you. I bought a cheap one on eBay. Have used a fan in the past because I had no idea how to fill it. Thanks for showing me!

[@cathy3046]

So glad my ridiculous little video was helpful!! It was originally intended for a friend of mine who "didn't get it"... and I absent mindedly left it on "public". 279,xxx views later, I figure I'll just leave it. LOL Thanks for the comment!!

[@NathanNostaw]

Good work. My wife got me one for my birthday, what a frustrating gift. I'll be trying this method.

[@cathy3046]

AKA Nathan - Thank you!! And Happy Birthday!! They are truly super comfortable - once filled, that is. :) My biggest (un-recorded) tips are to consume a minimum of 2 stiff drinks prior to attempting this, and ALWAYS have someone recording it. ;-)

[@NathanNostaw]

:) The drinks may take the edge off the frustration of the initial failures. I wanted to sent it back, but had some success this arvo trying the new techniques. So I guess its now part of our camping kit.

Thanks for the tutorial. I probably look like fucking idiot the way i was doing it before. Cheers

[@cathy3046]

Jaron Taggart - Haha! It's part of the design... we ALL look like idiots doing it. But its damned comfy when you get it filled! :)

[@ericjensen8592]

I am completely uncoordinated..so this was damn hard. Two things to mention. 1: when you first get it out of the package and unfold it..the inner plastic bags are all twisted and stuck closed..you can run around all day and never get them inflated. I ended up struggling and finally it half inflated and squishing it open the rest of the way before it would actually inflate. I still need a 20 ft run or a stiff breeze to get them inflated. 2: yes close it up BEFORE you stop moving...and then roll up really tight before engaging the clip. 3:'if you put this down on pointy rockstar debris..your butt still is going to touch the ground..this provides nice comfortable relaxing position and back support..but your tush is touching the ground..no air pad. Pick a flat grassy spot to sit.

[@cathy3046]

Hi Eric! I would love to see a video or photo of you in your inflated air couch... if your hiney is still touching the ground, I fear maybe you haven't fully inflated the bag. Something just doesn't sound right about that... OH!! One thing to note - there *IS* a "top" and "bottom".. at least, on ours there are. Once inflated, you should notice that the center most internal seam goes farther in on one side than it does on the other. We loved this feature because our kiddos didn't sink down as much, and thus didn't feel quite so trapped. You may prefer sitting on the shallow side as well!! :-)

[@Bluesbabesrv]

Yours is one of the easiest videos to follow, thank you! Most people make it harder than it is. Do you have any problems keeping it inflated?

[@cathy3046]

Bluesbabesrv - so sorry.. i don't think my original reply attached to your comment. Hope you've been enjoying yours these last several months!! No, we haven't had any issues keeping it inflated. I think the key is getting it rolled really tightly.. notice how I sort of "bounce" it while I'm rolling? I have it rolled so tight, i couldn't quite get it to roll all the way around that last time. The bouncing helped get it tucked in so I could do the snaps. The tighter it's rolled, the less air can escape. :-)

[@nuffshotz70]

Bluesbabesrv you just need a lot of room to fill it up,the way she did.

[@bradmann85]

people close it too late when they stop moving. just enough time for the air to escape. you have to close it just before you stop moving. open it up right when you start moving. do this till you get it as full as you can get it. i dont have one yet. ive seen them at academy. only down fall to these is people say they deflate around a couple hours or so. only way to find out is to get one.

[@cathy3046]

That's exactly right!! I suppose the concept is fairly similar to blowing up a balloon... once you get air in the balloon, you've got to close (& hold) the end tight so the air doesn't escape. :) Thanks for your reply!!

[@lovinglifewitheli]

I have one. I didn’t know how to fill it so used a fan 😂 but mine stays up for day’s. I usually just have to roll it once tighter every day or two, I have payed on mike for hours on end reading a book. Mine is a cheap one from eBay

[@whataflake2420]

Cathy3046; so it’s ok to drag it around in the gravel? Are these really that durable? I haven’t bought one yet but would love to...

[@cathy3046]

What a flake - Like with any product, I'm sure there are higher qualities and lower qualities, so do your research on the materials used to make whichever one you decide on. But with that said, yes... the ones we have are 100% tough enough to use on gravel. :-) They also float, so they're great for tethering to the back of an anchored boat, or a dock.. or even just use a nice long line & stake it to something on shore/the ground. :)

[@Kalopazia]

I’m so confused... everything is fine until when I roll it up the bag slowly deflates. I’ve checked for holes and I can’t find any...

[@cathy3046]

OwensCorner - Does yours have a plastic liner inside? If so, does it come all the way up to the edge/cuff (the part you roll up)?

[@cathy3046]

David Anderegg - Haha!!! Yeah... well... this was originally supposed to be for just a couple friends, so I'm actually a little surprised I didn't. However, getting OUT of it - that's a whole different story! And seeing that this little clip has come close to reaching the hidden corners of the earth, I'm pretty grateful I didn't. Haha!!! That's something you'd be much more likely to see when wine is also attending the party. ;-)

[@sohailansari6497]

How

[@catalinsegarceanu4524]

hahahahhahahahahhahahahha

[@tammybarham5225]

This is not easy

[@cathy3046]

:) Its definitely not a perfect method... but it has worked well for me - MOST times. LOL! I think the most important piece of the whole thing is to close the opening after swooping a bunch of air into it. Think of it like blowing air into a balloon... when you need to take another breath to blow more air in, you pinch the opening so the air you've put in so far doesn't come out. (Hope that makes sense!!)

[@tdsrecs694]

How did this even become a product. Its so bad lol

[@tanya9nithreus]

It's not, it's actually a brilliant product! ... The reason why so many say it's 'bad' is because they don't know how to properly inflate it. Practice and this video can make perfect!
