How easy it is to inflate by mouth? I mean will it make you dizzy after doing so

If you sit down and take a few short breaks, it's not bad. It is very doable if you can sustain a slow-paced jog for 10 minutes.

I did stop twice while blowing up the duck to catch my breath but no big deal

I used an electric pump and it still took several minutes. There are two places to inflate

Yes! It will knock you out. We had a little air compressor that came with an aero bed that we used. If you try to do it yourself, allow several days to get it done.

For packing, I've manage to make it 10"n x 12' and used rubber bands to make sure it don't come apart during transit. I would highly suggest a small pump or other means of inflating it if you do not want to use your mouth. You will spend most of the day just trying to inflate it and maybe get light headed and pass out.

Oh yes, super easily. You just pull the little plug. In fact, I inflated it by mouth very easily, it's so small.

The term "self inflate" is kind of misleading. It does draw some air in when you open the valve, however the amount drawn in does not fill the air chamber. I would say that its a head start more than self inflating, as you'll need to add air to your liking.

If given enough time, after the initial few days to let the foam recover it's original form, it inflates fully. Use your mouth and lungs and blow two full breaths in and you'll be fine.

You bet. It takes maybe 10 minutes to deflate and roll up. This has been great for our family!!

You will see on the instructions the "why" -- it doesn't fully inflate the first time -- you are just inflating it to a firm touch -- and you will wonder "why so small"? On the second time -- next day it will inflate much more -- and then needs one final step. There is a hand pump that comes with these exercise balls that you can use on the final time if you prefer.

No. But it is easier, because it would take a lot of puffs to blow it up just from your mouth. I used a pump, then topped off w/ breath as needed.

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 think it'd be a pain to deflate and inflate every day but inflating it was no trouble really even though it did take a little time to get it to the size I wanted. I have yet to deflate it so I don't know how long that would take.

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

All air beds are a little noisy. It sounds a vacuum. Takes about five minutes to inflate. 5to eight minutes to deflate. Not a bed as long as you order the dual chamber one. Ten times more comfy. The single inflate is highly uncomfy. Just watch around the chord holder cup. It is a easy spot the get a leak. But it is a good bed for travel. I have to dual chamber and I live far away from my friends houses so the bed is very convenient.

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

Not really. I also inflate it with a few puffs and then adjust it to my desired level.

I found it difficult to inflate too but my 12 year old daughter did it in no time at all! so for me i think it was just age! Ha Ha

I am in the same boat. Mine came a bit inflated but not enough to use. Trying to inflate with pump (not provided) I don't feel much progress is happening.

No. You just have to blow air in to the valve. It does take a lot of effort to inflate the first time. When you deflate the float, it goes faster when you squeeze the valve.
