Can it inflate with a grown man laying or sitting on it? My father has fallen several times & my mother will not call anyone for help at night.

I'm sorry for the delay, I have not tried to inflate the bed while lying on it. I will say that I slept on it for nine days and enjoyed it every night. It's a little loud late at night, but it inflates very fast. You will not roll off the edge and the middle does not sink. I would buy another if I needed one.

An air mattress like this has little more bounce with "bedroom activities" (when inflated properly) but is durable enough to withstand most "activities". I would not advise an adult to stand on the mattress or jump up and down on the bed of course.

Be sure to pull the inflation stem all the way out to inflate otherwise you're wasting your breath. (I'm assuming that you can't get any air into it.)

Initially I thought it blew itself up on its own. I definitely had to help it along via blowing in the in-valve the first night. Second night it inflated itself better. From what I've read, after it's broken in a bit, it inflates itself almost totally. Either way, I can honestly say it's well worth it even if you have to give it a few extra blows. Extremely comfortable & durable. No kidding, I think I like it better than my own bed!! Lol!!

My experience (using the mattress full-time) is that it won't explode, but if you apply too much pressure (or too heavy a person sleeping on it) for too long, the internal gussets will break loose, causing a bulge which is impossible to sleep on.

You can lay on it as it decompress it won't effect it but you can feel it decompress it feels weird. My bed only went 6" in 3 months so they let me keep the old and resent another and the 2nd took 1hr to fully decompress but it had a stain so I donated both Bed and they have a refund but when you sit on the bed if its on box spring you can feel the box spring 8" is to thin. My neighbor i donated the bed to used a frame that has mounts in the middle thats portable and he loves it. But with a box spring you can feel the box spring even at 8".

I haven't tried to inflate it manually with an air pump. There is a hole where the air exits when being deflated, and I can't tell if anything is inside that can potentially block air from entering. The attached 2 prong power cord is about 6 ft. in length and it does state on its warning label for "indoor use only." I hope that helps.

Yes, it can be used without being inflated. I'm very satisfied with this product, and my physical therapist also likes it.

Adults can use it just fine - my husband and I do. However, you do have to keep it quite taut with heavier folk because the line can sink down to the support base. I'm 140 lbs and my husband is 195. The challenge is still HUGE to keep your balance even when taut so I'm sure I'm getting a core workout with it. We love it.

It will not flatten out. I use it as a head rest in a therapeutic practice. Everyone comments on how comfortable it is. Even my biggest clients -- 300 plus -- can't flatten it, but say its soft and comfy.

You need two adults to deflate the thing. its very frustrating if you try to do it solo.

I think you would want some type of padding between the frame and the inflatable mattress. Just putting the mattress itself on there wouldn't be an issue, but the added weight of a person could certainly cause issues.

I tried to inflate it with an air compressor i usually use for tires & it worked a little but the hose was not the same size as the inflation valve so I could not get a good seal going on & ended up finishing blowing the thing up the old fashioned way (with my own hot air) while making a mental note to purchase an air pump made for air mattresses. I. Have 2 of these air mattresses & they have held up very well through several camping trips & sleepovers with kids jumping on them.

Well, I have had mine for months now and would suggest you check if it is has been inflated to the recommended measurement. If your ball has been inflated to the correct measurement, then you should not have the ball slipping through the hole as my mister weighs more than you do and he doesn't have a problem when he sits on this chair. That said, you might have a problem with maintaining the inflation, so when you inflate it take note of the measurement and re-check it in a few days. If you find it isn't a problem to maintain the balls inflation, try inflating the ball to maybe another inch larger as the suggested measurement is not "written in stone." Also, I saw on a previous answer that the back rest doesn't work?? I would love to know what that comment is about as the "back rest" is not meant for you to rest your back upon-- it was never meant to bear any significant amount of weight. It's there pretty much to make sure the ball doesn't roll off the ring.

I have the 75cm ball. I've done chest presses on it with 70lbs... (I weigh 190. important to follow the directions when inflating it. don't over-inflate. My mom uses the 65cm she prob weighs 150ish. She uses it as a chair. I think you would have to do something stupid to pop it....lol they have a video on youtube with a pressure test of 3, 000lbs.

i don't think so the pump can only push air at a certain rate. a 90 pound person would cause a push back onto the pump. hope that helps.

Yes, depending on the firmness you find comfortable by inflating the bed more or less, but I'm a pretty big guy and sitting on the edge of the bed and getting up or down is no problem. This is a great bed and I highly recommend it to anyone.
