Do you have to blow it up (like a balloon) or does it have an automatic inflation valve like some of the other lumbar cushions?

Yes it needs to be blown up lije a balloon, however I am very dissatisfied with tge product, it had a leak in 2/3 places which I couldn't replace being outside AMAZON ZONE.

This has to be blown up, plus it leaked immediately! I do not recommend this product!

It has a valve that you blow into to blow it up. It does inflate quite easily. However the product did not have a very long life as it began to leak after the first week of using. Would not recommend buying this product.

You have to blow it up like a pool toy. But we bought 1 and returned it wouldnt stay inflated. They sent a 2nd one same problem . Cost more in return shipping we just gave up.

You just blow it up like a balloon but like I said in my review it was only used about 3 times and it got a whole somewhere and you would blow it up and place it behind your back and it went flat.

No, you have to blow it up yourself. It is slow to deflate, but they are very comfortable in the pool.

It's outfitted with two small air holes such as you find on regular inflatable toys. Make sure your air pump has a nozzle that will fit in and you're good to go. I recommend using a manual air pump, otherwise it will take awhile to blow up, and if you use an air compressor you could over inflate it. FYI: Takes a bit of time to deflate too, as all the air has to come out of those tiny holes, but it was super fun to play around on.

No. You inflate it using a pump (included) and it either deflates naturally (from body pressure over time) or you open up one of the gauges to release air pressure. It has worked well for my mom and the quality of the fabric is very good. (More than you asked, I know.)

Yes, it inflates when you blow it up and before you dive you can deflate with the valve...than re-inflate when you resurface to rest.

No it doesn't, you will need a pump (hand or electric) for the chair itself, the ottoman you have to blow up with your lungs (kind of like a pool toy). But these chairs are very comfy, and worth the effort!

The hole to inflate is the same size as that of a beach ball. I used an electric pump and it extended within minutes. I believe it would take an extremely long time to blow up without one. I love the chair - stays inflated with lots if use!

It comes inflated... you can put more air into it to provide more bounce but it was fine for my needs. Its just a little larger than a volleyball, but smaller than a basketball. Inflating it does not make it expand it just creates more pressure within, to create more bounce.

There is a valve that you open, and the seat "self-inflates" (you can manually blow into it as well)... The beauty of the Thermarest products is this "self-inflation" value and technology. I am a pilot, and this is an AMAZING product... I open the valve--sit it on the windshield while I pre-flight the plane, then I adjust the volume of air and sit on it... When I am finished with the trip... I open the valve, squeeze out the air and roll it into my bag.

its has a valve similar to inflatable raft, any pump with a nozzle type tip will inflate it fine. It comes with a very cheap pump but mine cracked after first use.

it has a tire stem valve on the bottom. just push it, like letting air out of a tire.

I bought an electric pump to pump it up, but with enough time and lung power the one-way valve would allow you to blow it up manually. It does not have a tire valve for attaching a tire pump.

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.

It does not inflate or deflate. It is a foam pad that you roll up. It is about a three foot roll. It is awesome! Lots of fun!

We use the pump for the inflatable bed to blow it up. The mattress does not come with a pump..

The product inflates without having to manually blow it up. You just unroll the mat and it inflates automatically.

Just unroll it , open the valve and it will inflate, then close the valve. It only inflates an inch or 2.
