How to Make a Cowboy Bedroll

The Intex company specializes in inflatable air mattresses designed for in-home use and family camping trips. To accommodate the needs of avid campers, Intex offers its signature camping airbeds with twin, full or queen-sized mattresses. Certain models of the Intex airbed double as flotation devices for use in pools and lakes. These airbeds feature a built-in-bellows foot pump for easy inflation.

Step 1

Lower the Intex airbed onto the floor of your camping tent or guest bedroom. Unfold the vinyl body of the air mattress.

Step 2

Align your foot over the built-in bellows foot pump. Apply downward pressure to pump air into the mattress.

Step 3

Sit on the edge of the mattress to ensure the airbed has been properly inflated.

Step 4

Unscrew the valve cap to deflate the air mattress. Fold the vinyl body into a compact square for easy storage or transportation.
