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.

Does not come inflated.Must use a compressor,foot pump or bike pump to inflate.

Sorry, I have seen such balls but have no clue what they require for inflation? The pump works great for our air mattress!

Yeah I used an air mattress pump. It really isn't a lot of air. You can blow it up with your mouth in about ten minutes. It's super easy.

My husband generally pumps it up with his electric air pump. I'm not sure what size or capacity his is, but it takes about 30 min to inflate completely.

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

There is a good amount of pumping required to inflate. I'm not sure if its something I would want to do everyday.

No. We inflated (repeatedly) with a foot pump. It's also smaller than it looks.

Well actually it doesn't self-inflate. It has one of those twist thingies on the side that you twist and blow into then twist closed. Like beach toys. Only a breath or two and it's full. I don't blow mine up all the way because it seems more comfortable partially inflated. I bought it mostly for flying on Delta. I think their seats are the worst.

Does inflate itself without you having to blow it up with your mouth? I see both comments below?

With a good pair of lungs and taking your time you can do it yourself, but we used a bicycle pump, much faster. Be careful not to over inflate. It is a great little item for my Granddaughter she loves it.

I used an air mattress pump I already had because it inflates really fast. It worked on this and blew it up in less than a minute. Pretty much any standard pump should work.

Unless you have a pump with a gauge, you just have to feel for "Firmness" when inflating. If I am not mistaken, the valves are 1-way, only allowing air to go in, then there is a dump valve to deflate.

It comes with an automatic pump. It also comes with a handy cigarette lighter charger. On our last trip we forgot to charge the pump, but we were able to plug it into the charger and inflate the bed while plugged in. Inflation only takes a couple of minutes

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

Not a plug while inflating, but it does have one for when you're done. It comes with a hand pump which is awesome, but I am not quick enough to get the plug in when I'm done pumping the air and some leaks out. Hope this helps!

I use a battery-powered air pump to inflate mine. (It can also be used to deflate it.) It uses 4 "D" batteries. Bought it on Amazon, but I noticed that the one I bought isn't available anymore. Just do a search for "battery powered air pump" and you'll probably find something similar. Just make sure that the one you get has different size nozzles so that you can use it with other inflatable devices.
