An air controller can include an air pump, a flow control assembly, and vibration isolators. The vibration isolators can be positioned between the flow control assembly and supporting structures, such as supporting structures of a housing, to dampen vibration of the flow control assembly. The air controller can inflate and deflate an inflatable air chamber of a mattress of an air bed.
