So to be clear we can use a battery operated pump which will still work to inflate the bed, is this correct?

It has a built in pump that you plug in to an outlet. I don't see where you could possibly attach a battery operated pump.

This air mattress comes with an electric air pump. It has an On/Off switch and a knob to Inflate/Deflate.

No it's very easy they give you a electric pump.My 3yr old Grandson sleeps great on this bed.

Yes, there is a large valve on the bed for deflating. I think it can be used to inflate the bed with an external means of inflation.

Yes! The top ring has to be blown up. Usually a small DC volt air mattress pump, with a cone shaped variable size nozzle will work fine. The air hole is about 1 inch in diameter.

Since I had no luck with electricity, I would hate to depend on the car battery. However I did not specifically look or attempt to do that. Considering we had no luck keeping either of the beds inflated at all in the house. Again a very poor purchase by us, and an even poorer product.

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

We have an Electric Pump available that easily inflates, I have provided the link below: New Intex 66621E Air Inflator With Quick-Fill 12 Volt Rechargeable Electric Pump Carry Handle

Nope - no pump. That was an extra 30 bucks - picked up a Coleman 120v. This is seriously a great bed though. The intex pump would have been crap anyway.

Hi! To answer your question: Unfortunately there isn't an option to inflate the matteress with a battery pump. This would have made this matteress even more of an excellent purchase. It doesn't take long at all to manually inflate the mattress. Less than 5 minutes. I hope this helps.

You do need a pump for this mattress. We use one that requires 4 C batteries and it not only pumps it up fast, but takes the air out too. FYI- When traveling with this pump, we had to take one battery out as it turned on and ran all day!

Yes you can use foot pump for this mattress if you don't access to electric.It's ok

Yes, you really should use a pump. It takes a lot of air and certainly possible to blow it up with breath. Once inflated you can adjust pressure as temp changes using breath.

Hi, There's a pump included w/ the bed (4 D batteries needed. not included). It has a spigot that fits into a plug on the end of the bed. Just turn the power on the pump. It fills up from flat in about 2 minutes tops. The mattress will lose some air the first day because the fabric has been stretched. Once you fill it up for the second time, it's good to go for a long time. Enjoy.

Otherwise Walmart sells a Coleman pump for their inflatable beds which would work too. Let me know.

No. I chose the separate electric pump (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009PURX6/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) or you can also choose a battery operated one if you want to take the bed camping.
