Has anyone used a manual pump to inflate the Aero Sport All Terrain Bed? If so how long did it take to inflate this bed? Thanks

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

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!

Yes, however, it does neither very quickly- inflate or deflate! I was able to inflate raft with manual pump quicker and easier. Save your money!

No, it does not require a pump, it comes inflated but it won't likely stay inflated long! I bought 2 and both went flat in less than a week and there is no way to re-inflate them.

There are beds that can be inflated with a foot pump. The last two Aerobeds that I purchased have failed. Do not buy one

You need to pump it up in stages so you wiuld need to wait that long just to inflate it. Once inflated you can use immediately.

There are many options...I just use any pumps that one would use to inflate an air mattress. That said - it is better to get one that can be plugged into your vehicle as that comes in handy if you're at the water and need to inflate the raft there.

I had a regular air pump that I tried using, it honestly was slower and didn't work as well as the manual foot pump that I purchased for this bed.

It inflates very fast. The place where you insert the air pump has two caps. You start with a large hole and that fills really fast. Then you switch to the smaller so that you don't over inflate. It has worked well for me.

We used our own air,and it did not take long at all. You can use a bike pump if you have one, or inflatable mattress. Grandson loves his, even uses it as pool.

kinda ruins the point of the "AERO" part. I know technically you could run it. but, i would not, all you need is that hard turn one day when you forgot to properly inflate your tires and it rolls off the rim and then the screaming scraping , body fluids ewwww. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html

Can I use the pump I use for my inflatable bed? Are all the pumps essentially the same size? Thanks!

Hi I bought mine just before a camping trip --It inflates with the separate air blower that takes 4 D size battery's --I had one that had the pump built in and it would go soft halfway through the nite --Enjoy ---Rog

I have a coleman electric air pump It does not take to long to inflate you just have to turn the valve to let air

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.

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

I'm a 71 year old female. I don't need help; I inflate it myself with the included pump. It takes me 3 minutes to inflate the kayak with the pump and a couple of more minutes to inflate the seat and foot cushion/ballast, usually by mouth, although you can use the pump. The only assembly is strapping the seat in place. The only disassembly is unstrapping the seat. It takes me 7-10 minutes to deflate it and a few minutes to fold it up, I'd say 12-15 minutes to get it deflated, folded, and put back in the carry case. The paddle takes a minute to snap together and less than that to take apart. I'm a 71 year old female. I don't need help; I inflate it myself with the included pump.
