Why is my air mattress filling the middle significantly more than anywhere else
I tried deflating and reinflating and dont know why the middle is getting so big. its like seperating the left half to the right half, but i dont want that. and im scared to inflate more because its my couch right now and i dont want to sit on the floor. is it broke? what do i do, besides buying a couch....

does it unscrew
On a bed I know of the air pump hose is put in the other side of the pump and inserted into the bed fitting , then pumping the pump deflates the bed right down into the smallest possible size is
There is an intake port and an exhuast port on your Coleman quick pump. To determine and differentiate you need to turn it on and the one that is blowing air out is the exhaust that you would use to inflate the mattress. That leaves you with one other orifice that is taking air into the pump body. If you put your finger over that one it will suck down like a vacuum cleaner hose. That is the one that you want to attach the plastic adaptor nozzle to, and then hold the nozzle on the fill port of the air mattress. It will come down and into a vacuum state when it is all the way exhausted. Once completely deflated, they are much easier to fold back up and stow away. If you're at home and own a vacuum cleaner with a hose, save the batteries on your pump and use the vacuum cleaner. It will take about thirty seconds with that. Good luck with that.

When air mattresses first came out, deflating was a major
issue. In the last ten years or so, all
air mattresses built don't have that problem unless they have a puncture
somewhere.
Some
pumps come with a deflate setting so make sure to check that first. If not, you need to unscrew the cap off the
valve and listen to hear that air is escaping.
Then remove your shoes and walk up and down the surface of the
mattress. Once you have done this a few
times, you will be able to roll up the mattress from the end opposite the
valve.
If
its just a small leak of air once in a while, don't worry. However, if you notice that the air is
deflating considerably throughout the night you will need to check for
holes.

When you inflate the mattress, you unscrew the square-shaped plastic cap, like this:
But this is *not* the cap you unscrew to deflate it!
To deflate it, you have to unscrew the plastic at the *round* part that's beneath the square cape -- i.e. the part of the plastic that's affixed directly to the mattress. When you unscrew the round part, the entire plastic apparatus detaches from the mattress, leaving a big open round hole where the air rushes out.
Is it battery or electricity operated? You might need to replace the battery or hook it up to the right outlet. Follow the instructions in inserting it to the hole. Make sure you press the deflate button and not the inflate button.
If the pump device is really not working, you can temporarily manually deflate the air bed by unhooking the air release nozzle. Press it slightly to allow the mattress to deflate faster. Step on the mattress lightly to force air out a bit.
