TRUCK-BEDZ Air Mattress FAQs


What if I can't find a Truck-bedz air mattress for my model pickup truck?

Let us know your pick up truck cargo area dimensions and we'll help you determine which model truck bed air mattress will best fit your particular vehicle. There should be a model to fit almost any truck.

Why are there two different Truck-bedz mattress types?

Truck-bedz Expedition Series are the original version and are made from extra heavy duty 420d nylon backpack fabric bonded with a super strong polyurethane coating and then RF welded into shape. You may see in more photos, an  F250 truck sitting on top of a couple of Expedition Series Truck-bedz mattresses-very stout and puncture resistant. The Truck-bedz Weekender Series are made from heavy duty PVC flocked vinyl with the same great features as the original Truck-bedz, but offered more economically for those campers on a tighter budget.

Do you make Truck-bedz for SUV's, Van's or other vehicles?

Yes, we now offer our Expedition Series Truck-bedz in a size that fits many SUV's, Vans, And Minivans. Please provide us with the dimensions of your vehicle and we will make sure that a truck bed air mattress will work for you.

What is the best way to inflate my Truck-bedz?

Our Truck-bedz air mattresses come with two dual stage heavy duty boat valves to assist with inflation and deflation. The easiest method to inflate your Truck-bedz is to open the outer valve cap (the square one) and insert the appropriate nozzle fully into the opening. Turn on the pump. The Truck-bedz will begin inflating immediately and should be full within 3-5 minutes.

The fastest method to inflate your Truck-bedz is to open the larger lower valve (the round one) and insert the largest nozzle straight into the Truck-bedz. This will fill the bed in less than one minute, however, once the air pump nozzle is removed, some air will leak out.  You will have to close the round valve cap and open the square cap (it has a one way valve) to top off any lost air.

What is the best way to empty and roll my Truck-bedz air mattress so that it fits into the carry bag?

Open both of the round valves completely and let the air flow out. Once most of the air is out, fold the truck bed air mattress over in 6" sections starting at the end away from the valves. Continue to roll the folded portions over until you have a large roll. Close one of the valves completely and fold 1/3 of the roll over on itself, squeezing out more air in the process. Fold the remaining 1/3 of the roll over on itself, squeezing out the remaining air and then close the second valve.

Why is my Truck-bedz mattress softer in the morning?

It's called physics, hot air expands and cold air compresses. When you fill your Truck-bedz in mid afternoon and it's 75 degrees and then wake up and it's only 35 degrees, you should expect that the bed will be much softer despite no air having leaked out. The best course of action is to top off the mattress right before bedtime. Sometimes topping off will require a few seconds with the pump and other times, just a quick couple of breathes through the one way valve will do the trick.

Do I need to do anything special to care for my Truck-bedz air mattress?

No special care is required, however, we recommend storing your Truck-bedz mattress in our heavy duty wedge carry bag. If the mattress gets too dirty, you can hose it down and scrub it with a mild detergent. Make sure that it is completely dry before rolling it up again.

What should I do if I have a problem with my Truck-bedz?

Contact us and explain your concern and we will make every effort to resolve your issue and assure your satisfaction.

Should we use our Truck-bedz as a trampoline? What about as an open ocean floating swim platform? Can I use it as a dirigible if I fill it with Helium?

No and No and certainly Not. Truck-bedz are intended to be used as an indoor/outdoor sleeping platform and they are not intended to be used for the other purposes. Use of Truck-bedz mattresses for purposes other than sleeping will void your warranty.

Hint: If you are buying a truck tent, you will find the matching truck bed air mattress at the bottom of its page and vice versa. Please double check that you have the right model in our Sizing Guides.
