Does this self inflate?

Not really. I also inflate it with a few puffs and then adjust it to my desired level.

Only partly. But just a few puffs of air inflates it quickly. It works best to inflate then deflate to the most comfortable level.

Yes, mine did but it is extremely difficult to fully inflate it with the included hand pump. I recommend a two-stage pump to get it to max pressure.

It is not inflated and comes with a pump to put air in it yourself. It is very easy to do.

Yes. inflat to the max. wait a few days,use it, sit on it. In time it will stretch out. You feel the difference once it's stretched out.

I don't think it is suppose to inflate unless it get submerged. Since I received mine we have not had a search and rescue/recovery in any type of weather so I have not worn mine yet.

It does require an air pump to inflate. I used an air compressor because it actually requires quite a bit of air to fully inflate. Totally worth it though. I actually own three of them now. Highly recommend it.

It is mostly self inflating. When you release the valve the matt expands, sucking air in. However, once it's done that you will need to give it a couple puffs of air to your desired firmness. Very easily done. I am very pleased with ours.

It inflates like a beach ball but. Definately not something you would want to blow up yourself though. I used a battery operated pump that I use for air mattresses.

No; it's a very decent sized single. You will certainly need a manual pump or better still an electric pump to inflate though!

it self inflates to about two inches, BUT it also has a mouth bit to inflate more, to about 5-6 inches

No, just open the valves and it self inflates due the enclosed open cell foam. Simply close the valves prior to sleeping on it.

Yes it does. Everything there is attached as one piece that unfolds as it inflates

no, it doesnt inflate like the the sides...the bubble mat goes under to make it comfortable but a better option is to use gym or garage interlocking foam mats and its so much more comfortable....they dont cost to much either to upgrade.

It doesn't self-inflat, you give it a few short bursts of breath and it's inflated. What I learned about it is that it's most comfortable Not totally inflated -- you need some "play" to cushion. Also, don't miss out on the "secret" -- it's not only soothing comfort for the tush, it's heaven for feet (partially inflate and put it on the floor and put your tootsies on top, feels wonderul, especially on flights). My husband and I really had delightful relief on flights.

It comes with everything to inflate also a patch which you WILL need. I had mine on carpet, never moved and in six months it was leaking--A LOT! Deflated completely in two days. Buy a better one.

I would guess mine took about 1 minute to inflate. My son did it every night and it was really quick!

I do not pump this up.I inflate this using my own lung power and do not find it difficult at all.
