Will this bed inflate using a standard battery-powered air mattress pump? I want to use it for camping.

Yes. Go to http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/home/airbed-furniture-pumps.html?manual=1 to select the manual of your bed and see the instructions on how to bypass the built-in pump. Basically, go to the control dial, turn it clockwise until the arrow points to the inflation mark, insert the hose to your pump and have at it. I bought power converter for the bed so I could plug it into the cigarette lighter socket and pump it up that way for camping.

Yes! The top ring has to be blown up. Usually a small DC volt air mattress pump, with a cone shaped variable size nozzle will work fine. The air hole is about 1 inch in diameter.

Hi, There's a pump included w/ the bed (4 D batteries needed. not included). It has a spigot that fits into a plug on the end of the bed. Just turn the power on the pump. It fills up from flat in about 2 minutes tops. The mattress will lose some air the first day because the fabric has been stretched. Once you fill it up for the second time, it's good to go for a long time. Enjoy.

I love the simplicity of this unit when camping. Light weight and has multiple tips for different mattress air tube openings. The batteries are long lasting and it fills any mattress with no problem at all. If any problems, it would be with the inflatable mattress, not this Coleman pump.

Hi! To answer your question: Unfortunately there isn't an option to inflate the matteress with a battery pump. This would have made this matteress even more of an excellent purchase. It doesn't take long at all to manually inflate the mattress. Less than 5 minutes. I hope this helps.

You probably can. I forget if it came with attachments for stuff like that. Your air mattress may have the attachment it needs. I changed my coupler out and ran a different hose with a regular fitting (like for air tools). Much more convenient than what it came with. If you are using this camping just a word of caution, it is NOT quiet. I bought a cheap air pump just for blowing up my air mattress at the local sporting goods store. Super quiet, cheap, and no need for attachments. This compressor will piss off your camp neighbors if they are close to you. Other than that it's a great compressor for everything else. I have two of them.

No. I chose the separate electric pump (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009PURX6/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) or you can also choose a battery operated one if you want to take the bed camping.

We used the pump sold in combination with this mattress. I imagine the effort taken to inflate it by mouth!!! I would not try it again. I don't know if a bike air pump would fit because I don't have one. You can try and see what happens. Let us know. Good luck!

I wouldn't since it needs electricity to make it so it won't go down and electricity to inflate. It is more as a second bed than a camping one.

I did not have any problems with it pushing air. I have a double high queen matress and it was able to inflate very firm. I took it on a 10 day camp out without having to change the batteries and I used it a little every morning, I also loaned it out several times. I would say it has a pretty long battery life.

It is possible to bypass the built-in electric pump by using either a manual pump or a battery powered pump. The included instructions show that this is possible. If you look at the photo that shows the pump, you can see a hole through the middle of the dial (which is used to inflate/deflate the bed). The pump that you end up using must have a hose outlet that can fit through that hole. As for camping, please make sure you have a large enough tent - this is a big bed. Yes, it's only a twin size, but it's quite high off the ground.

Yes it will inflate and deflate like the battery powered air pumps. This one does it much faster and with more air pressure.

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

I use a battery-powered air pump to inflate mine. (It can also be used to deflate it.) It uses 4 "D" batteries. Bought it on Amazon, but I noticed that the one I bought isn't available anymore. Just do a search for "battery powered air pump" and you'll probably find something similar. Just make sure that the one you get has different size nozzles so that you can use it with other inflatable devices.

No, It does not come with a pump, however you can do a search and find all sorts that work.I purchased a pump with it and when I received it, it only works when plugged into a car/trucklighter port. I had a battery operated Coleman 4D Battery Quickpump and used that instead of the one I purchased. It *the pump, comes with the cone to inflate/deflate the mattress. One size fits all. Hope this helps. By the way, I've used this mattress already and it was great. It stayed full of air for over a week, without having to add air.

The mattress has a built-in 120 volt pump to inflate the mattress so the normal inflation process involves plugging it into a 120 volt outlet. However, I'm going to be using it this weekend at a site with no electricity. I will be using a Coleman battery powered (4 D batteries) pump to inflate it. It takes 10 minutes to inflate with the Coleman pump. However, the mattress does not get as firm with the Coleman pump as it does with the built-in pump. There is a 5/8" opening in the middle of the control knob on the mattress in which an external pump can be connected. The Coleman pump calls it a "Boston Adapter". So any external pump with a 5/8" outside diameter connector can be used to inflate the mattress.
