I have found, for weight purposes and also for speed, the dual action hand pump is great. It is light for carrying and only takes approx. 100 pumps or less, per side to fill. Larry

I have a coleman air pump, I bought one that i can plug in to my car. Coleman 12-Volt DC QuickPump, Colors May Vary

I use a handheld, portable air mattress pump. It's fast, easy to maneuver to the different valves, and small enough to take along.

I used my shop air compressor, but a small pump such as a water toys inflater would work also. I does take a while to inflate.

A small air pump or bicycle pump. No problem with it over filling with air. use your common sense.

requires a unique pump. I used a air mattress pump from Coleman. It's runs on a charged battery and filled 6 tubes in minutes, no problem. Don't remember price but I think it was around $30. That has worked the best.

We use one of the cheaper 120vac air pumps we had for an indoor blowup air mattress. It would be extremely difficult to blow by lung power only!

Any electric camping pump will do. They will not inflate to full pressure. They just do the majority of the work for you. You must still stop and use a hand pump to achieve full pressure.

I'd get a better pump. This is good for a smaller mattress. Mine are 74 X 39 X 9 and it takes a bit to inflate it. Your mattress would not only take you quite a while but depending on how firm you want your mattress ( to me ) it won't inflate it to be anywhere near firm. Coleman's duel action hand pump ( $12 ) would be a better choice for a low cost pump. Don't be fooled because it's a hand pump. I wish I would have bought it rather than this one. Read the reviews for the battery pump and you'll see almost all say ok for small mattresses and the hand pump reviews say it inflates quicker and can inflate the mattress to be firmer ( and no batteries to buy ). Hope this helps !

With a dual action hand pump I can inflate mine in under 10 minutes. With the electric pump in under 5. By lung power about a half hour(only did this once lol)

Mine did not come with a pump. I bought Coleman electric pump that plugs into the cig lighter of the van. It inflates and deflates pretty fast. Also bought a bellows foot pump to top off the air pressure. The electric pump takes it up to about 85%.

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

I used a battery operated air mattress pump. It worked great. I also used a foot pump and that took a lot longer. It holds more air than you think.

I bought this Coleman Quick pump which came with two types of nozzles, it works well. You have to hold the nozzle at the port site, but it inflates so quickly that the minor inconvenience didn't bother me: Coleman 120V Electric Quick Pump, Colors May Vary

My adult son blew ours up by mouth, and admitted it took a bit of doing, so if you use the mattresses frequently, a pump of some sort would definitely be handy. Unless you have an adapter, I don't think a bicycle pump will work. Pumps for other inflatables (kayaks, air matresses, dinghys, etc.) might work. Coleman sells an inflatable air bed hand pump for around $20 on Amazon. There are electric pumps available too.

I answered this question a while ago here and my answer should be located within the write up reviews; That said, I shall answer it again. This is not the correct kind of pump you would or could use on bicycle, car, motorcycle tires with. It is only good for inflating and deflating what would be air mattresses, pool accessories, and such. The adapters are not made to fit anything other than air mattresses, etc. I hope this helps. For the car, motorcycle, bike tires you will need a compressor air pump. You can either go to an old-style gas station, go to your favorite car tire center, or purchase any multitude of compressor air pumps listed on Amazon.com, or other site.

We used an air compressor! But any electric pump would work, like the ones for air mattresses or pool floaties! Just be careful with the air compressor so you don't overfill and accidentally pop one of the chambers!

I use a battery-powered air pump to inflate mine. (It can also be used to deflate it.) It uses 4 "D" batteries. Bought it on Amazon, but I noticed that the one I bought isn't available anymore. Just do a search for "battery powered air pump" and you'll probably find something similar. Just make sure that the one you get has different size nozzles so that you can use it with other inflatable devices.

I use an old hand pump you can buy anywhere to inflate like an air mattress. That or an air compressor. I have used it 5 weekends now, still going strong. Love it.
