This bed is EXCELLENT!!! I have back issues so sometimes I deflate it a bit so it's soft to lie on, other times I fill it to normal pressure and get a good night's sleep.
The panel controls are in the middle of the head or foot of the bed. I have mine positioned at the head of the bed and when I want to make an adjustment I just move the pillow and turn the knob to add or release air - and since there is a wall socket at the head of the bed, I have it plugged in all the time and can just reach the knob on the console and add air or release air.
