What is an Air Mattress

by: inflatablechinee   Category: inflatable   Keywords: air, mattress, inflatable, inflatable

An air mattress is exactly what its name implies – a mattress filled with air. What is especially convenient about an air mattress is that one can provide a quick, comfortable place to sleep without an allocated space for a bed. Air mattresses come in very handy for camping, overnight guests and as travel beds. An air mattress can be as a replacement for a traditional mattress on a bed, but normal use is mostly for a temporary solution to sleeping rather than long term.

 

An air mattress works in a similar manner to other inflatable objects. It has a valve for air to go in and later escape for deflation and storage. Though almost any size mattress is available, twin and full are the most popular retail sizes. An air mattress is to work with its coordinating size bed sheets as well. The quality, price, and functionality of different air mattresses vary.

You can purchase an air mattress for camping for less than some sleeping bags cost, however their quality is for comfortable sleep on a short-term basis. Some are for attaching a sleeping bag and some have cushioning built in. An air mattress is a great piece of camping gear, but remembers to bring a battery-powered inflator because inflating an air mattress by mouth alone takes far too much energy and time.

Similarly, an air mattress works well for creating temporary sleeping quarters for houseguests. If you are considering purchasing an air mattress for this purpose, look for ones that come with a storage bag or container for storing when not in use. However, many are single chambered; compare ones with more than one air chamber for additional comfort.

Though an air mattress is also great for kids’ sleepovers, remind kids to use caution with an air mattress. Excessive roughhousing or jumping on an air mattress can easily cause it to pop under the pressure, rendering it useless. You can expect minimal wear and tear over time, but small holes can generally be with patch kits. Most air mattresses come with patch repair kits for convenience.

Though an air mattress does not make an ideal alternative to a permanent traditional mattress, it will provide an exceptional alternative for temporary sleeping. If you find yourself wishing you had a place for guests or a bed to travel with, an air mattress is a great solution. Invest in a decent battery or electric powered inflator that also has a deflating option, which will provide a much-appreciated convenience for setting up and taking down your air mattress.

Some Tips for Looking after Your Inflatable Bouncer

by: inflatablechinee   Category: inflatable   Keywords: jumping, castle, water, slide, bouncer

Below are some tips to help you get many years use out of your Happy Hop jumping castle:

1) .Always packs your inflatable away dry and clean. This is particularly important if you are packing away a water slide at the end of the season, otherwise mould will develop during the winter. Even on dry days, the underside of your bouncer can get damp from the ground so leave it out to dry, particularly if you plan to pack it away for a long time.

2) Place a tarpaulin underneath your bouncer prior to use. Even if you go to the effort to ensure that there are no sticks, rocks or other sharp/rough objects on the ground where your bouncer is going, there is a chance you will miss something. A tarp underneath your jumping castle or water slide helps minimize wear on the underside by reducing friction and rubbing with the ground.

3) Repair holes and pulled stitching as soon as possible. If you do put a small hole in your bouncer or the stitching starts to come open through wear and tear, repair it while it's still small and before it becomes a big problem.

4) Keep dogs and other pets away. It may surprise you to know that the number one cause of damage to inflatable jumping castles is from excited dogs biting holes in them. Sharp claws and teeth are not compatible with Happy Hop bouncers so keep the pets away.

5) Supervise, supervise, and supervise. Supervision during play is not only important for safety to ensure there's no rough play or kids trying to do silly things, it will also give longer life to your bouncer. Younger children do not think like we do and they will not hesitate to take toys, sticks and food onto the bouncer with them to "enhance" their play experience.

6) Keep the big kids off. While Happy Hop bouncers are tough and adults have been to join in on the fun, your bouncer is going to wear out a whole lot quicker if you allow it to be used this way. The stitching is simply not strong enough to withstand the sort of force big kids and adults will place on it if they are on for extended time.

7) Use Armor all or a similar product to protect your bouncer from the sun’s rays. Your bouncer will look like new a whole lot longer using a protestant, but check on a small area first to ensure it does not cause damage. In addition, if you want to do this take care that using a protestant on playing surfaces may cause them to become very slippery and dangerous.

8) Don't drag the bouncer. If you drag your bouncer while setting it up or putting it away, you will quickly start to wear a hole in it as it rubs on the ground. The same is true if it is in its carry bag as the carry bag is from the same sort of material.

Inflatable Christmas Decorations

Do you have that one house on your street that always wins the neighborhood prize for best yard scene on Christmas? They probably have a few inflatable Christmas decorations on their lawn, roof, or porch. These blow-up figures come in all sizes, characters, and traditional colors to dress up your house or business for the holiday season.

 

Inflatable Christmas decorations are highly visible, festive, novelty items that add excitement and fun to your office, holiday event, parade, or front yard. They are giant nylon or vinyl balloons. You can purchase them deflated in a carrying case, and then inflate them for seasonal use. Inflatable are a perfect choice for Christmas, since they can be away in a closet or garage until next December.

An electrical pump accompanies new inflatable Christmas decorations. This pump is similar to one that inflates a mattress or pool raft. It is a strong fan with a nozzle. In a few minutes, the pump will fill the inflatable Christmas decoration with ordinary air until it reaches its full size. The figure is to the ground with stakes and tie-downs.

You have probably seen many varieties of inflatable Christmas decorations as you did your holiday shopping or brought peanut brittle to your neighbors. There is Santa Claus waving, sitting atop a sleigh, popping out of an inflatable chimney, or holding Mrs. Claus' hand. A vignette could be with a Nutcracker, Christmas tree, and a gift-laden train. Or you could position a snowman to watch the elves as they tie Rudolph and the other reindeer to the sleigh.

Inflatable Christmas decorations can crown any piece of your property, from the peak of your roof to your snowy driveway. They are made of heavy-duty material to withstand all kinds of weather, including sleet and frost. These temperature fluctuations may, the air inside the characters so they droop. A quick touch-up with the pump is all required to get them standing upright again.

Since they are to attract attention outdoors, these novelty items are usually quite large. A candy cane could reach up to 10 ft (3 m). A penguin and polar bear would dwarf the real creatures. Even inflatable Christmas decorations in the shape of your favorite cartoon character could tower above the trees. Best of all, they can be outfitted with small light bulbs, so they are just as merry at night as they are during the day.

Wide Use of Inflatable Balls

Good as Gold (Stupid as Mud)
Good as Gold (Stupid as Mud) is a song by Pop group The Beautiful South, the second track on their fourth album Miaow. It is one of their more popular songs and is frequently played live. On recent tours, large inflatable balls would be thrown into the crowd during performances of it.
It is often erroneously named, often on file sharing or P2P networks, as "Carry On Regardless", due to a prominent lyric contained in the song.
Bladderball
Bladderball was a game traditionally played by students of Yale University, between 1954 and 1982.
Bladderball was conceived by Yale student Philip Zeidman, owner of a six foot leather exercise ball, as a preliminary event before the Yale-Dartmouth game in 1954, according to respected Yale bladderball historian Sarah Hammond. Hammond traces the name "bladderball" back to a rugby-like game played by Yale students on the New Haven Green in the first half of the 19th century, featuring an inflated animal bladder.
Once each year, at 11 AM the Saturday before the Yale-Dartmouth game, the inflatable six foot ball was rolled through Yale's Phelps Gate onto Old Campus, where a throng of Yale students waited. At the sound of a whistle, teams from each residential college and various extracurricular organizations would fight for possession of the ball. Teams were allowed to use any means at their disposal to seize control. In 1975, the Jonathan Edwards College team attempted to capture the ball using a meat hook which predictably popped the ball, inciting enraged chants of "J.E. sucks!!!" from the other participants; this remains the unofficial motto of Jonathan Edwards College to this day.
Bossaball
Bossaball is a sport invented in Belgium. It is similar to volleyball, but also includes elements of football (soccer), gymnastics and capoeira. Each side of the court has an integrated trampoline, allowing players to bounce high enough to spike the ball, and a number of inflatable barriers. Bossaball clubs exist in various countries including Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Kuwait, Ecuador and Saudi Arabia.

Bounces & Moonwalks make you playing safely

by: inflatablechinee   Category: inflatable   Keywords: indoor, playrooms, inflatable, sibling, gifts

Whether it’s for a birthday party of just a day of fun, indoor playrooms filled with inflatable are jumping up all over.
Years ago, these generous jumping houses were only enjoyed at carnivals as a once-in-a-while wonder. But now, you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to have fun with them. While they’re a great place for parties and give the illusion of supervised play, parents still need to look before their children leap with these safety precautions:
*Everyone should wear a pair of socks when jumping (even in the summer when most kids will have on sandals.) Be sure to take a pair with you, just like when you go bowling.
*Make sure the facility has adequate staff and that there is someone actually watching the children and not just behind the counter.
*Pay attention to how the inflatables are connected and taken care of, watching for excessive wear and tear and loose connections.
*Watch the front door. Be sure there is a way to prevent kids from wandering out or strangers from coming in.
Taking these extra steps can help make sure that your child plays it safe. They are a fun way to spend an afternoon, just like these baby toys. And the best part is that there’s no hot air required. Your child can rock the day away or enjoy vintage games like a wooden pull toy. Children of all ages can enjoy these, and they make great baby gifts too–especially for a child who’s too small for the big jumpers. And if you’re wondering what to give big brother or sister, they also make excellent sibling gifts, too!
