This has been open for 30 minutes and it has not inflated to 4" yet. How long does it take?

I said I do not know because we did not have that problem. As with any industry there can be mistakes made so, perhaps, this was bad luck for you and a replacement is needed.

Both I bought " inflated" right away. In fact the dog got on them immediately! How thick are they? Mine have used his two for a couple months now and it does not even look like he sleeps on them ( he's a 90 lb. german Shepard..and he's 10 so he sleeps a lot!!! Lol). Hope this helps!

It took a while, I think I put mine in the closet for the night or something until it was done.

You would need to buy a pump that is designed for air mattresses, it will have a head on it that fits right into the air hole, and yeah doing this by mouth would probably take more than 45 minutes!

It stays inflated. It doesn't come with a pump though so you will need that also. And don't overfill it because ours ripped at the seams and is not fixable

The longest I have had it inflated and used it daily was about ten days. I slept on it those ten days and was very comfortable. It was the first time it had been used, and as the instructions state, you need to check it every day or so to see if it needs a little more air. It did on a few of the days, but not a lot of air at all.

It deflates with the motor so about as fast as it takes to inflate. No more than 2 minutes. After I had it for a months it started deflating nearly all the way half way through the night.

We used our own air,and it did not take long at all. You can use a bike pump if you have one, or inflatable mattress. Grandson loves his, even uses it as pool.

Mine stays inflated with no problem. Check to make sure the plastic "plug" that came with it is pushed in all the way.

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.

Just guessing it's about 60". It is below zero here and I'm not going to inflate it now.

I'm a 71 year old female. I don't need help; I inflate it myself with the included pump. It takes me 3 minutes to inflate the kayak with the pump and a couple of more minutes to inflate the seat and foot cushion/ballast, usually by mouth, although you can use the pump. The only assembly is strapping the seat in place. The only disassembly is unstrapping the seat. It takes me 7-10 minutes to deflate it and a few minutes to fold it up, I'd say 12-15 minutes to get it deflated, folded, and put back in the carry case. The paddle takes a minute to snap together and less than that to take apart. I'm a 71 year old female. I don't need help; I inflate it myself with the included pump.

it took about one minute or so. the pump was not too noisy as we were watching tv while it was inflating.

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 think mine was closer to 28" full cuz it welt full. But I think it's bouncier when fully inflated

It deflates quickly. I think it took less than 5 minutes to deflate. I let it lay for a while before I folded it up and put it back in its bag.

It'll take days to inflate it by mouth. If you use a dinky car charger air pump, it takes about 30 minutes. If you use an inexpensive electric air pump it takes about 5 minutes. Deflating is pretty quick, but good luck fitting it back into the carrying bag it comes with. It's very difficult to be able to get every little bit of air out and roll it up as flat as it was when we got it.

I had mine blown up for about 5 weeks at one point. Seems there is some amount of stretch that will happen as it is first used. Meaning I did re-inflate it a couple of times early on, but at some point it appeared to stabilize and no longer require more air. Thats all I know, YMMV
