How do you inflate it ?

Hi. I use a small electric pump (like I use to fill pool inflatables). Then just put the stopper that comes with it back in. The Hopper balls are fun and very sturdy.

I use a pressure gauge and pump the inflatable to the manufactures specification. I find that this is the best way. I don't loose very much air when disconnecting the pump providing you perform the operation quickly.

Comes with an interior pump you plug in. Has a dial you turn to inflate and deflate, you can suck all the air out aswell as blow it up in about a minute maybe two, very slick system.

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.

When you unroll it, it inflates. You have to do this a couple of times before it fully inflates.

There is a cap that covers the place where you inflate the pillow. You remove the cap and just blow on that area - it will inflate. However as I mentioned in the review there is a red button on it too - be very careful because it falls off easily and this is what you use to deflate it by pressing on it... Mine fell off and now I will have to contact the manufacture to get a replacement....

So I was in exactly the same situation, how to inflate ! I used a pump like you use for swimming tubes for kids, bikes etc, it worked perfectly. I bought at Target. Hope this helps.

Ours came inflated to the correct pressure. You can pump it up with a standard inflating needle and pump.

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!

You are missing a plug. It comes with two. A hand held air pump will inflate it.

You simply open the valve by turning it and it allows air in. Once it airs up close the valve. When deflating open valve roll up pillow and close valve when done.

Emme, The pump unit is a motor driving a fan. Nothing more. The fan has two holes. One is air in, the other is air out. Both holes have identical attachment parts. If you were able to inflate the air mattress, you will be able to deflate it. To inflate, you used one of the plastic nozzles provided and attached that to one of the holes. Using that same nozzle assembly, just move it to the other hole. Press the nozzle against the mattress fitting just the same as when you were filling. Ah, one trick....the mattress fitting has a one way valve inside it. That's so when you are done filling and remove the pump nozzle, it retains air in the mattress until you can get the plug in. You have to shove the nozzle in far enough into the mattress fitting so you push and displace that valve. Otherwise, it hold the air in the mattress. Hope this helps.

You have to squeeze the tip while blowing into it. We did it and it stayed inflated all day and still is.

It has a valve that you blow into to blow it up. It does inflate quite easily. However the product did not have a very long life as it began to leak after the first week of using. Would not recommend buying this product.

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

It's actually pretty easy to inflate, you do not need a pump to inflate it. We used it for a week straight and deflated it every day and then inflated again the next day. It only took a few minutes to inflate manually.

I use an old hand pump you can buy anywhere to inflate like an air mattress. That or an air compressor. I have used it 5 weekends now, still going strong. Love it.
