Are these self inflating? If not, what kind of pump does it use?

Self inflating yes and need a few puffs of air by mouth to top it off. No pump needed. This is a great purchase.

It's a 'self-inflating' pad - roll it out, open the brass valve, and the fiber filler will expand the pad, however you may physically blow some air into the pad. (Just a few good puffs is sufficient) I purchased the 25" x 77" x 2" thick pad. Be forewarned - a 'side sleeper' like me will find that the 2" pad isn't thick enough when sleeping on the ground.

Yes they are self inflating. You can then blow them up more by mouth, to make them firmer. We got them to use on top of a thin mattress to add support.

they are self inflating. It suggests you do not blow into them because you will add moisture into the pad and it could stick together. They are not air mattresses. They are light and provide about an inch of comfy padding for camping or hiking. I store mine open and they remain fully airated until I go camping and then I roll them up. Good luck.

It is not self inflating so yes you do need to buy a pump. But i will say it's been about a month in a half to 2 months and it is still inflated. The last one i bout lasted a couple days.

Yes the best way to inflate this is by buying a small air pump, I have a coleman one that I bought at walmart for $20 that works perfect to blow up all our inflatables.(would take a long time to blow up by mouth :) )

Well, believe it I do blow into them to inflate. It takes a bit of air, but so far I have been able to successfully inflate the tubes. I suppose you could use a small air compressor, but I just stand in the pool and take my time. Have Fun !

I can't tell, but I see air valves. I had it for a couple of years and I never had to inflate them

No it does not self inflate. I now have 2 and find them very good for relieving back pain. It just takes 2 or 3 puffs of air to inflate for a comfortable fit. I like these because they hold the air for weeks and sometimes much longer. I hope this helps.

It takes only a few moments to inflate, check the connection to the pump, make sure it's secure and the right side up, also check all the lines so there is no air leaking from them. If all else fails, you can contact the vendor, they've been very responsive to questions.

No , it is not self inflatable. You have to blow each of the of the 5 chambers separately. It's tricky, because you have to pinch each valve hard in order to blow air in , same thing for releasing air. It's comfortable to sleep on, and light weight for back packing.

The Pad self inflates and deflates on its own easily. It would be totally up to the individual if they wanted to use a pump, however, it is not necessary. We trust that is helpful.

"Takes a few hours to inflate" is an exaggeration. It maybe takes an hour to inflate if left to itself, but if you want to speed up the process just blow yourself, a few blows and it's inflated in minutes. I wouldn't let it stop you from buying these Therm a rests. They are good quality at a great price.

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

We used small electric pump. Hand pump like you use for air bed will work too. Inflates quickly so be careful not to over-inflate.

It's actually pretty easy to inflate, you do not need a pump to inflate it. We used it for a week straight and deflated it every day and then inflated again the next day. It only took a few minutes to inflate manually.

It is best to use an air pump. I have a small one that I use for air mattresses and it works great. If you are taking it to a resort or pool, they may inflate it for you. I took mine to the Mandalay Bay and they aired it up for free. Worked great in the lazy river!

No, they are not inflated. But u can go to Walamrt and buy a helium tank for a few dollars or find a local florist and have them do it.

I don't know but I bought a Intex pump at Walmart and it inflated pretty quickly. Mine is electric but they do have one for cig lighter and they are only about 15 bucks you could probably leave some air in and fold them but they are kind of big
