Great Mitch Hedberg vibes to this.

Just sounds like the air mattress leaks

I've definitely had air mattresses that deflate without leaks. I imagine it's a "feature" of cheaper beds that use less air-tight material.

Could be the material stretching out, making it seem like air was escaping when in fact it was not; the space itself was getting larger.

Hmm... honestly, could be. If I ever sleep on an air mattress again, I might have to test this theory.

Or the air was getting "smaller" as it cooled at night

If you go camping, almost everyone uses air mattresses, except if you really wanna go ultralight. They can be quite comfy and don't deflate if you put the cap back on

For some reason air mattresses for camping or water fun can last decades while those air guest beds don’t last ten uses.

I stopped buying air guest beds and just use the (very thick) camping mattresses.

The feeling of resting on a slowly deflating air mattress before you pack it up is amazing. I remember one time, my sister (now wife) and I went on a camping trip with an inflatable mattress, and we both just slooowly let it deflate while we laid on it before we packed it up. Good times!

Even with a rectal tube and a one way valve, your facts would need to overcome the pressure of an air mattress with you lying on it, which would be quite the fart indeed
