bheka BREEZE inner liner and cover on a postal scale. Inset shows it weighs under 14 ounces. On Right, Assembling your BREEZE round bolster is easy. First unfold the inner liner.
If you are using an air pump you want to insert the inner liner into the cover before pumping. If you are blowing with your mouth inflate it partially before inserting it into the cover. Be sure to take the flap out when you put the inner liner in. Once it is inflated the liner should be an inch or two inside the opening of the bolster cover. Notice the flap from inside the cover is hanging down. The next step is to tuck it over the inflated liner.
Also, note full inflation makes a very firm cushion. A softer cushion is achieved with less inflation. It may be necessary to squeeze the base of the nozzle to let air escape from the bolster.
This next part is the trickiest bit. When the cover is new the thick cotton canvas material is stiff. Pulling it closed takes effort. Also if you pull in the wrong direction you may damage the cover. Be sure to follow the directions below.
You must pull the cords in the direction they naturally go in. In order to do this, you must hold the bolster between your legs or sit on it or otherwise hold it steady, then pull in the direction the cord leaves the cover in. This will close the opening.
Since the material is stiff, it will hold its shape while you make a bow, like when you tie a shoelace or a package. Then tuck in the bow and you are done. Voila. The whole process takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
