Can anyone tell me how it inflates? Do you have to blow it up or is there an internal switch or something? Thanks!

You have to blow it up, but it's not a tiny annoying valve like on pool toys, it honestly only takes 4 or 5 breaths and less than a minute. Deflates really easily and quickly too, no need to fold or sit on it. I adore this pillow for traveling and use it at home too!

You do have to blow it up using the black tube but it only takes 20 seconds or so and it is so easy! You just have to open tha black cap and blow in there but just be careful not to blow it fully because it is easy to puncture if you did that.I love the product! And it is so handy to have it:)

I would say a bicycle or other air pump is necessary to inflate this - DO NOT try to blow it up yourself, it won't be sufficiently inflated.

yes it is self inflating. you may have to add extra if you want a more firm feel.

There is a valve you open, and then the interior structure causes it to expand and pull air in. Sometimes you do have to blow a little air in as well, but it's nothing like blowing up a normal air mattress.

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

The air pump is built into the bed, just plug it in and it inflates quickly, it also comes with a great storage bag, fits nicely into a closet. I am thrilled with mine, perfect for sleepovers.

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

It's not hard to inflate at all. Only one of the valves is the kind you have to pinch while you blow air in, and that portion doesn't need much air. My husband inflated the whole thing in maybe five minutes.

Very simple. Instead of turning button up to inflate, turn button down to deflate and it sucks the air right out! Easy to fold and get back in box if needed!

Hi, on the side there is air piece that you pull out like on a inflatable raft or a beach ball. I used an air compressor as it will take a very long time to blow it up by mouth.

It has a built in electric pump. You press the switch and it inflates in about 4 minutes.

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.

It is mostly self inflating. When you release the valve the matt expands, sucking air in. However, once it's done that you will need to give it a couple puffs of air to your desired firmness. Very easily done. I am very pleased with ours.

It is inflated but you always wont to put air in it for your preference of firmness. Have fun throwing the pigskin!!!!

It inflates fairly quickly- better than the inflatable bed I had previously. We've used it a half-dozen times so far and have been happy with its performance and comfort. Hope this helps.

It is like filling an air mattress. The best way to fill is with a shop vac or electric inflator due to size.

If you have already "pulled the plug" on the air valve, use a compressor with a long attachment to insert into the air valve. It will inflate within seconds.
