How do you get it to inflate? It did not come with instructions, ans so far is not inflating.

Turn the plastic valve, it will self inflate then close the valve to keep the air in.

First make sure the black plastic valve is open. If it is and it still isn't inflating blow into the valve like you're blowing up a ballon. When new they sometimes need help getting started.

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

When you unroll it, it inflates. You have to do this a couple of times before it fully inflates.

If you have already "pulled the plug" on the air valve, use a compressor with a long attachment to insert into the air valve. It will inflate within seconds.

I don't think it is suppose to inflate unless it get submerged. Since I received mine we have not had a search and rescue/recovery in any type of weather so I have not worn mine yet.

Just release the air as instructed. It may take a couple of tries to get it. It took me a couple of tries and now it's fine.

Has a very large opening to inflate it so would need to find a way to seal when doing so. I used duct tape..

There is a small plastic piece that holds the air in. To inflate you can use a handheld pump, like the kind if you were inflating a pool float. The pump is not included with this ball.

No...it does not come inflated. You'll need one of those tire/air pump things to inflate it.

Yes. inflat to the max. wait a few days,use it, sit on it. In time it will stretch out. You feel the difference once it's stretched out.

No, It doesn't inflate. I put it on before the airbed is fully inflated and it fits very well. It won't hurt the mattress.

make sure all seals are tight and the hose is connected properly to pump and fill tip. worse comes to worse use a bike pump or air mattress pump. be careful with the last idea. have some one hold a yard stick next to bosu while inflating and when good height have pin ready to go in as you pull hose

You have to squeeze the tube to open the valve while inflating. Read the instruction card.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!

I would guess mine took about 1 minute to inflate. My son did it every night and it was really quick!

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

I believe it just came packed in the box...it's not inflated when you get it but it comes with a device to help you inflat it which is super easy :)

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