How often does Responsive Air adjust?
- When you first settle into bed, you will feel a slight decrease in pressure as if the mattress were giving you a hug.
- Responsive Air will take pressure readings throughout the night, once per hour on each side.

- About 30 minutes after sleepers are out of bed in the morning, it's normal to hear the bed filling with air.
- Responsive Air will continue to check air pressure reading throughout the day, every 4 hours.
