I recently bought a travel air pillow whose valve was very fragile (could push it right into the pillow and it was gone)

I have had no problem with the valve. The stopper goes in gently, and it hold the air till I am ready to deflate. When flying, you are not supposed to inflate it until you are at cruising altitude, though.

The Back Booster pillow is a waste of money. It starts leaking after very little use.

I had other pillows with the same problem. Back booster has the flap where you have to squeeze the value to inflate or deflate and has a strong valve that won't easily be pushed in and lost.

I have not had any trouble with the valve on the back booster. I have taken on multiple overseas trips and it has held up very well. You should wait until you get to flying altitude before you blow it up. If you inflate it early it will puff up even more when the plane takes off. I have had two spinal fusion surgeries and this pillow is totally awesome. I would recommend it to anyone even if you do not have back trouble. I sometimes sit with the wider part up and other times put the wider part down depending on the contour of the seat.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question! Please rewrite so I can help you.

I have had no problem with the valve. It inflated with no problems and stayed inflated. I used it at work on my chair for more support on my back.

There is a valve on the one side. You should be able to re-inflat with a needle - like one used to reinflate a basketball. Go to your local sporting goods store and they should be able to help you.

I bought and used the recommended pump also but haven't used the pillow or pump for over a year. I can't remember any problems with the pump and recall that it worked alright. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Typically this valve is located downstream from the pump. If it accidentally closed the line while the pump was running, something would likely break. Hopefully something inexpensive.

I'm not sure. It could have been something my son did. But, I will say, it is definitely worth a try especially with Amazon's great return policies. We still use it, you just have to get used to how to play it with the valve.

Sorry. I have not had to replace the valve yet. I ordered it as a "just in case".

I also purchased the pump and mine works fine. I don't know what to tell you, except are you placing the nozzle all the way in to the valve of the pillow?

no idea about a specific bed, but I was easily able to install (screw on) one of the two differently threaded valves and rescued my inflatable bed! A lot cheaper investment than a new bed.

The one that I bought was for the AC unit on my RV but was not quite long enough to secure with the cinch. I did try and leave it on anyway and it blew off. Fortunately I was able to retrieve it. SOOOOO. No, I was not able to.

I had no problem using the pillow. It worked great. My problem was, when you aren't using it, it has a little strap that snaps on to attach it to your luggage. This snap must have failed as it wasn't attached to my luggage after my cab ride home and I didn't notice it until after the cab pulled away.

We had a leak from ??? in our air bed and bought a whole new air bed replacement for around $108, incl valve. Valve alone advertised at 16.00 or so. Very good values and solutions to problems. I suggest you purchase new parts as failed old ones give problems.

I too have used it for my CPAP and it melted the air tube (made of thin plastic and metal wire). Depending on your use, a rheostat is a good idea.

Your best bet is to ask Amazon about replacing it or you can go to a Walmart or similar type store to buy another air pump to us separately. It will not replace the built in, but it will allow you to inflate the bed.

Mine did the same thing. I just squeezed the air out and used a clip to close it. It's frustrating though, you spend so much money on a product, you expect it to have proper packaging.

Mine was not inflated enough when I got it, however one could have played with it in a pinch

mine popped apart just above the main valve shortly after i installed it. it was relatively simple to fix, there's a little screw on the side (allen wrenchy thing i think), so i just popped it back in and tightened down the screw better. it hasn't happened since.

You can try replacing the Joker Valve. Here's a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYkXa5AWe8
