We suggest to spot wash, with a mild soap such as Dr Bronner's. Do not attempt to machine wash or dry. Washing could strip the waterproof coating.

Yes, but we say not to. Why? Mostly because of liability, as well if you float water can get between the two layers and weaken the adhesive. As well it can pull out the inner layer if you are not careful, if you decide to float...float at your own risk. As well when you are ready to pull your Paralax out of the water do this very carefully ensuring it drains the water nicely, if you pull it out of the water all the weight of any water inside could cause the inner layer to become separated.

Hopefully you wont have to ever patch it but just incase the Paralax has two layers, the outside Nylon which is mainly for protection. If the outer layer gets hole, it will still hold air. If you need to patch the inner layer we suggest a patch kit that is used for inflatable boats, or pool floaties.

Many others claim you can use their air hammocks on all surfaces. But from our research and testing this is not true. Do not use your Paralax on any sharp objects. Try to keep it on grass and dirt and other smooth surfaces. Keep it away from sticks and sharp rocks or rock surfaces such as shale as some types of rock are very abrasive. Our warranty does not cover punctures.

This depends on a few factors. If you manage to roll it tight as possible and ensure you have 4-5 folds it will hold air up to 6 hours. We have noticed in direct sun and exposure to high temperatures the Paralax tends to deflate faster, averaging about 3 hours per fill. When rolling your paralax ensure your roll it consistantly with the full width of the material and buckle it correctly so the mouth resembles a half circle. Most commonly the reason your Paralax is not holding air correclty is inproper use. Please refer to our instructions above.
