does it take long to inflate/deflate and how much room does it take once deflated?

It takes about 10 minutes to fill with a small electric pump. Once filled, it is as big as a twin bed. Hard to empty if you fill it with water but great as a tanning bed.

No it does not take long to inflate/deflate. The size when deflated is about the size of a large purse. We store ours in an outdoor trunk with our cushions and other inflatables. I will tell you that it is a wonderful product. You can put some cool water in the bottom and just chill out. I have taken many naps in mine.

I usually place a matchstick in valve to deflate. Can fold up fairly small when deflated. These rafts are not as durable as the old Sevylors, that are no longer available.

Hello... It inflates for as long as the batteries last. I suggest you take extra batteries. I would say each about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Depending on the batteries.

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.

When its turned on to deflate is takes no more than 5 mins. What a great air mattress and I have owned many. The owner of the company is extremely customer and quality centric.

With a dual action hand pump I can inflate mine in under 10 minutes. With the electric pump in under 5. By lung power about a half hour(only did this once lol)

Yes, it does. It takes just a couple of minutes to inflate or deflate the airbed.

It takes me about 5 minutes. My friend has a Big Agnes pad and it takes him just as long. The difference is that you have to fill 6 different sections, with 6 different valves. Inflating it is not as bad as I thought it would be. Deflating it is another matter. It is irritating to fight the little pinch valves to get the air out.

Mine deflates at least 50% between uses. It's annoying, but it's so fast to reinflate that I don't care. If you're using it a lot it will be inconvenient.

Yes, it inflates when you blow it up and before you dive you can deflate with the valve...than re-inflate when you resurface to rest.

It's actually pretty easy to inflate, you do not need a pump to inflate it. We used it for a week straight and deflated it every day and then inflated again the next day. It only took a few minutes to inflate manually.

The pump is built into the mattress, all you do is open a little hatch and plug it in . It goes up pretty quick and deflates quickly.I'm not say seconds, but 5min at the most for inflating it. I think the pump works better than any other pumps I've bought seperate from other mattresses

It inflates pretty fast. We gave it to a grandson and our daughter recalls it being well under a minute.

It inflates very quickly. About a minute or less. The fan is small but powerful.

15-30 seconds. Just opening the plug on the end will deflate quickly but you can also turn the air pump on and set it to deflate and the motor will suck air out of the mattress. It deflates quickly enough by just opening the valve that I've never used the pump except to see how it worked.

This is 65' inflated and it will take a long time to inflate this ball. There are small pockets that must be inflated properly with a hand pump or a foot pump. It will take some time and doing and in my case my sons were excited after each pocket was filled. It is fun though and worth the expierence for the kids and will tire them out.

In about 2-3 minutes,maybe less. it has an auto deflate. You simply plug it in, turn the dial to deflate and it does.

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