Before Your First Trip: Inflate The Mattress & Let It Rest For 48 Hours

Before your mattress’s maiden voyage, fully inflate the mattress and keep inflated for 48 hours. You don’t need to do this in your car–it can be anywhere you have space: the garage, living room, or even out on the deck or driveway. Don’t sleep on the mattress during this window, just let it chill. This will help the mattress reach full softness after being rolled up during its journey to you.

While not required, it’s also recommended by our product team to fully inflate your mattress and let it sit for 24 hours before each trip if it’s been stored rolled up for an extended period of time. This will help speed up the amount of time it will take for your mattress to self inflate while you’re out camping!

Setting Up Your Mattress

With our self-inflation technology and provided AirRoll Bag for quicker inflation, setting up your AIR+FOAM PRO Vehicle Mattress is a breeze!

Check out our install video or follow the directions below to quickly and efficiently set up your mattress.

Slide & tilt the front seats of your vehicle forward.
Fold the back seats flat.
Remove the mattress halves from the carrying case, unhook the head support bridges, and roll out each mattress half (if using both sides).
Place in your vehicle with the valves being closer to the front of your car, and the side with the lighter fabric facing up.
Ensure the “out” valve is closed and the “in” valve is open. You can either leave the mattress like this while setting up the head support bridges to let it self-inflate OR you can use the AirRoll Bag to speed up the inflation process. See section below for steps on using the AirRoll Bag. If allowing to self-inflate, simply close the “in” valve once the mattress has achieved desired firmness.
It’s time to set up the head support bridges! Place each head support bridge so that the pockets are facing the back of your vehicle.
Secure the thinner straps of the head support bridge around your seat’s headrest by attaching the g-hook into one of the loops.
Tilt the mattress onto its side and attach each thicker strap’s g-hook on the bottom part of the head support bridge to the loops on the bottom of the mattress, ensuring that the right g-hook goes into the right loop and the left g-hook goes into the left loop.
Repeat on the other half of the mattress.
Adjust tightness of head support bridge headrest straps and mattress straps as needed.
Repeat on the other half of the mattress and zip each side together (if planning on using both sides).

Pro Tip: Laying on your mattress after setting it up and wishing it was a bit firmer? If you only need to add a touch of air into the mattress, you can use your mouth to blow into the “in” valve!

Using the AirRoll Bag for Quicker Inflation

Your AIR+FOAM PRO Vehicle Mattress will self inflate when the “out” valve is closed and the “in” valve is open – to help speed up the process or make your mattress extra firm, we’ve included an AirRoll Bag.

To inflate your mattress with the AirRoll Bag:

Roll out your mattress, ensure the “out” valve is closed and the “in” valve is open.
Place the AirRoll Bag’s valve connector into the “in” valve on the mattress.
Open up the AirRoll Bag and blow a quick puff of air into it.
Hold the opening of the AirRoll Bag closed, and start rolling it towards the mattress (this should push the air from inside of the inflation AirRoll Bag into the mattress).
Once each side of the mattress reaches your desired firmness, remove the AirRoll Bag from the mattress.
Close the “in” valve on the mattress.
Store the inflation AirRoll Bag in the pocket of one of the head support bridges.

Set Up Tips

You can adjust the firmness of the AIR+FOAM Pro Vehicle Mattress. Too firm? Deflate by pressing the flap inside the inflation valve. Too soft? Add some extra air with the included AirRoll Bag.

If your mattress isn’t sitting level in the back of your vehicle, here are a few tried-and-true tips to ensure a flat, comfortable sleeping platform.

When camping, purposefully park on a slant to offset the angle of your mattress.
Use blankets to create a level surface in the back area of your vehicle.
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution–and want to go all out–you can always build a level sleeping platform. YouTube is an excellent resource if you’re going the DIY route.

Deflating Your AIR+FOAM Pro Vehicle Mattress

Deflating Your Mattress

Unhook your mattress from each head support bridge & remove the head support bridges from your seats’ headrests.
Unzip mattress sides (if using both mattress sides).
Open the “out” valves and close the “in” valves.
Start rolling each mattress half from the bottom towards the top, using your knees to “walk” on the mattress as you roll it to help get extra air out.
- Pro tip: To help get most of the air out of your mattress, fold it in half (from bottom to top, “hamburger” style) and give it a quick push from the top before you start rolling it
Once your mattress is deflated, place it inside of the head support bridge (so that the pocket of the head support bridge is on the inside, touching the mattress).
Attach the g-hooks on the outside of the head support bridge to the loops on the bottom of the head support bridge, and tighten to secure the mattress in place.
Repeat on the other half of the mattress (if using both halves).
Place each mattress half in the carrying case.

Storing Your AIR+FOAM Pro Vehicle Mattress

Storing Do’s

Close your valves before storing your mattress to avoid damaging the valves.
Store your mattress in a dry, room-temperature environment.
When putting away your mattress for the season, inflate and then deflate your mattress for the last time in a dry setting so that no moisture remains in the mattress
Optional: Before an upcoming adventure, inflate your mattress and let it sit for 24 hours if it’s been stored rolled up for an extended period of time. This will help speed up the amount of time it will take for your mattress to self inflate while you’re out camping!

Storing Don’ts

Don’t store your mattress under heavy items, as this can compromise the valves over time.
Don’t store your mattress while it's still wet.

Cleaning Your AIR+FOAM Pro Vehicle Mattress

Luno mattresses are made to last and built to handle life on the backroads, but regular cleaning will extend mattress life. This is especially true if you forgo a sheet or sleeping bag and sleep directly on the mattress surface.

Cleaning Do’s:

Wipe down your mattress with warm water and mild soap using a damp cloth to remove dirt, mud, sand, etc. Let it air dry before you roll it back up. This is our go-to cleaning regimen for most instances. It’s simple, easy, and effective. Make sure your valves are closed before cleaning!
If the water and soap isn’t cutting it and you need extra cleaning power, give the fabric a quick scrub with Formula 409®, BioClean™ All-Purpose Cleaner, or another general household cleaner. Avoid using household cleaners that contain bleach, as they can stain the mattress.

Cleaning Don’ts:

Don’t forget to close the valves while washing!
Don’t put your mattress in the washing machine.
Again, don’t use household cleaners containing bleach!

Repairing Your AIR+FOAM Pro Vehicle Mattress

Finding a Leak

Unlike our AIR mattress lineup, one tell tale sign of a leak in our AIR+FOAM Pro mattresses is the mattress continuing to inflate (rather than deflating) when the both valves are closed and the mattress is not being used. This is due to the self-inflation technology in these mattresses! However if pressure is exerted on the mattress (i.e. lying on it), the mattress will lose air.

If your mattress continues inflating after you’ve closed both valves, your mattress continues to inflate even when packed away after your adventure, or your mattress loses air when lying on it, there may be a leak in your mattress.

To find a potential leak, the best place to start is inflating your mattress. Ensure the inflation and deflation valves are closed tightly. (Believe it or not, this may solve your problem. Often, a valve cap seems closed but isn’t fully seated in the valve opening. Make sure all valve caps are sitting flush!)

If double checking that both valves are closed doesn’t do the trick, visually scan the mattress for any tears. If you find a tear, jump to the “Repairing A Fabric Or Seam Leak” section below.

If visually scanning for a leak doesn’t work – or you want a more foolproof technique – use soapy water to find the leak. To prevent the foam from freezing, do not use the following method in cold temperatures.

Squirt dish soap in a bowl, then mix with water. We like four parts water to one part soap, but it doesn’t need to be an exact science.
Ensure all of your valves are tightly shut.
Using a sponge, dish cloth, or wet paper towel, apply the soapy water liberally to the mattress (front, back, and along the seams).
Watch diligently for bubbling. When you see bubbles materialize in the soapy water, you’ve found your leak.
Jump to the “Repairing A Fabric Or Seam Leak” section below.

Repairing A Fabric Or Seam Leak

There are two common types of fabric leaks, one of which is easily repairable (leaks in the fabric itself), while the other is more difficult (leaks stemming from the seams). We’ll go over solutions to both below.

Fabric Leaks

After making sure the valves are closed, rinse off any soapy residue (if the bubbling soap method was used to find the leak).
Deflate the mattress and allow the mattress to dry completely.
Once the mattress is dry, retrieve the (included) repair patch from the pocket of your head support bridge.
Using sharp scissors, trim the patch to size.
Peel off the backing paper and firmly apply the patch.
Inflate your mattress, and leave it inflated overnight. Ideally, you’ll let the patch cure for 24 hours without sleeping on the mattress. However, a patch should get you through the night if you need to repair a leak and then sleep on the mattress shortly after. That said, you may need to apply another patch later.

Seam Leaks

Seam leaks are trickier to fix. If you’re handy, you can try using a product like Aquaseal to seal the leak. However, in many cases, the best course of action is to reach out to our customer support team.

A Note On Leaks & Inflation Valves:

Inflation valves have a one-way seal, which means that even if the valve cap is open, air shouldn’t escape. This design is helpful for mattress setup, because you don’t want air to escape after removing the pump and before closing the cap. However, some minor leakage can still occur, especially overnight, so it’s still important that your inflation valve cap is fully closed.

If you believe that your mattress is leaking from the valve even while the valves are completely shut, please email us at [email protected]!
