can it be inflated using a manual pump?

Yes it can, we have the auto pump that goes with it. It will inflate and can be slept on, but by morning it is deflated not fully but some.

I don't see why not.. but don't know why you would want to... it would take up a lot more room to store,, and it only takes a few minutes to inflate it with the manual pump..so that is the beauty of this kayak... it doesn't require a lot of storage space or transport space..

Yes, but if you use a battery powered pump it does not have enough power to pump the mattress up completely. Had to finish off with a manual pump.

It is not inflated and comes with a pump to put air in it yourself. It is very easy to do.

It doesn't auto-inflate. Technically, you could blow it up by mouth but you'd probably get dizzy and risk passing out. In your case, maybe you could get a portable hand bike pump, they're cyndrical, light weight abt foot long, 1 inch diameter.

HI, I never had to try anything beyond the pump that's built in, but I imagine that even the exhaust of a vacuum cleaner could inflate it.

you could use it to blow up a large exercise ball. I would rather you use a compressor to initially fill the space and then move to the pump to finish out. To do it manually, say a day or so even with it using the double stroke capability.

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, you can!! If a plug isn't available, you can use a separate pump: set the inflation dial to "inflate", insert the nozzle for your separate pump into the hole at the center of the dial, and begin inflating!

We bought a manual foot operated pump. If you have an air compressor, you should be able to use that as well.

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

There is no provision for an external/manual pump as far as I can tell. It'll probably take some serious DIY mod job to attach one to this bed.

We only use a hand pump. And it's not that hard nor does it take much time. Even if you chose to start your inflation with an electric, you'd really want to finish it with the manual so that you get your inflation pressure correct ( a powerful electric could over inflate).

Yes, you really should use a pump. It takes a lot of air and certainly possible to blow it up with breath. Once inflated you can adjust pressure as temp changes using breath.

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

I haven't done it, but I am pretty confident you can use an air mattress pump or something similar. However they are really easy to blow up, easier than it looks, not a lot of air. They are a great buy, super cheap fun!

I dont think so. Mine came with a broken pump and I had to return it because my manual pump would not fit either
