How does one inflate it?What is a deluxe Boston valve and what is it's purpose? How is it used?

The easiest way is to use a compressor if you have one. Next best, a vacuum if it has an option to use as a blower.

Perhaps my favorite feature is its ease to inflate and deflate. It has two air valves, a conventional one and the Boston valve which fits well to a power inflator. Removing the cap on the valve quickly deflates.

You can inflate with the mouth or with a machine. Its not so big! Great for summer or travels! :)

the inflation tube has a cap and on the cap is the part you stick in the tube to deflate it. there is a one way valve in the tube so the cap holds open the valve to deflate it

To inflate, you merely open the air valve, and the cushion inflates automatically. Once it is inflated, you close the valve. There is no need to blow air in to the valve. To let the air out, open the valve and then roll up the cushion to squeeze out the air. Then, close the valve.

It is very rare for a company to have a non standard size. Boston valves are 7/8" male. this is the standard for towable tubes and blow up bed mattress.

Yes, there is a large valve on the bed for deflating. I think it can be used to inflate the bed with an external means of inflation.

there is only one tube on it. one end goes into the pump and the other end in whatever you are inflating. the two holes on the top are where the excess air release from so the pressure isn't too much on the pump.

its an hr valve, see here, http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=39403 and here, http://www.halkeyroberts.com/products/inflation/boat-valves/690-nsbvg-boat-valve.aspx, they're slick in how they work just don't loose the adapter, cause then you're probably screwed.

these take a normal pump, you can inflate by mouth or with a pump, it does need the attachment on the pump to fit the valve but most pumps come with that attachment.

You have to squeeze the tube to open the valve while inflating. Read the instruction card.

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.

You can use some kind of hand pump, but I just blow it up by mouth. Beware, there's a one-way valve in the stem - so be sure to pinch the stem while you're blowing it up. I'm 65-years-old and it takes me about 2 minutes to inflate completely. Hope that helps.

One is for air going into the bellow and the other is for the air coming out of the bellow. this is so you can inflate or deflate using the bellow foot pump, its also how the air gets into the pump to inflate the inflatable. Can be used to deflate although using to deflate is easier by just removing the valve on an air-mattress/tube.

mine came with a small pump that works very well. there is a blue hose with a tip attachment that inserts into the center of the hard plastic platform on the underside. There is a yellow bellows type pump that you step on and off with your foot to inflate. It says not to inflate the dome more than 9-9-1/2 inches tall. I hope this answer helps you.

It comes with a Boston valve-- this should be in the product description. We've had this for a few years now. Good toy, still in good shape. Enjoy!

No need for the pump. The strange valve-inlet-gate is located at the base of the valve. Squeeze it and blow and you'll find the position it has to be in to inflate. My valve was faulty and it never holds for more than a few hours. NOT A VERY GOOD VALVE OR PRODUCT

I purchased the angled valve - it's such a small tire that the angled valve makes it easier to inflate because you're not fighting the spokes to try to lock on your pump.
