How long does it take to inflate?

I uses a battery pump the one that came with it broke. I tried send the bost back but missed the dead line.

Not sure what you mean too quickly??? It inflates in adequate time usually takes 10-12 big breaths for me.

Yes, it is fairly easy to inflate by mouth. It should only take a minute or so. I would advise using the base of the opening as a choke point (thumb and index finger), so that you can rest between breaths; I guess this is the basic technique for inflatable items lol.

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.

I have not done this, but it takes me 30 minutes to inflate with a foot pump.

Not at all! It comes with an electric pump and takes about 2-3 minutes to fully inflate.

It's inflatable, so it depends on the air pump you use. An electric pump fills it up in about 5 min. Pre inflated its about 16"x 12" fully folded up. It's just like an inflatable pool.

Blower has to be running all the time. It inflates in 5-10 seconds. The kids play 10 min and we turn it off and it deflates in 30 seconds.

Hello! I'd guess it would take six or seven minutes. My wife and I have single-size air mattresses and it usually takes about 100 up/down cycles. That translates to about three or four minutes. I like the pump because I don't have to rely on a battery or an electrical connection, but I'll also probably end up getting a better operated pump at some point just because of the convenience and, in the warm months, the ability to set up with less chance of building up a sweat. Good luck! Tom

Ours was inflated within less than 24 hrs. I bought the same mattress for my son and his wife for Christmas because they liked ours so much that we bought for the spare room and he said it inflated within less than 24 hrs and they love it.

Bed should be at room temperature before inflating or it may cause air leaks. Time to fully inflate is approximately 4 minutes. Turn dial on pump to "inflate" position. Bed will inflate hands free. When desired firmness is reached, turn dial to neutral position. To deflate, turn dial to deflate. Once excess air is released, turn dial to neutral position. Store bed in temp. Above 50 degrees.

It inflates rather quickly. Less than a minute if I had to ball park it. We used it for a production of Willy Wonka for Violet as the blueberry. It worked perfectly and inflated quickly. Hope this helps!

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.

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.

Less than 10 minutes with electric inflator. You can get them at Walmart for around $10

The hole to inflate is the same size as that of a beach ball. I used an electric pump and it extended within minutes. I believe it would take an extremely long time to blow up without one. I love the chair - stays inflated with lots if use!

Should not take too long, you need to pinch the valve at base to open the safety flap. You can get a simple hand pump too. Do not inflate fully it will adjust to your contours, I usually inflate a bit more than half way. Same with air beds.
