Can you inflate it then take the air pump off and leave it inflated for indoor use? Or must the pump be running the entire time it is being used?

The pump has to be running to use it . Once the pump is off..it goes flat, but pumps back up in seconds when pump is on.

We use a pump to inflate all our pool stuff. I imagine it would take time but I'm sure you can do it yourself with our own air.

There is no pump. I have yet to inflate it because of this. It will take too long with a foot pump, although there are 3 separate sections. Will have to get a motorized pump to make this work.

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

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.

You have to pick the child up. Be aware there is a large blower and it is noisy. This is extremely large and should be used outdoors. You have to keep the blower going all the time to keep it inflated. I bought it as a gift and my daughter can't use it as an indoor playpen.

NO. That is only to charge as per directions, you cannot use the inflator while it is being charged

The air pump is built into the bed, just plug it in and it inflates quickly, it also comes with a great storage bag, fits nicely into a closet. I am thrilled with mine, perfect for sleepovers.

It could be used indoors and will likely hold up better than using it outside. We had to throw ours away after three uses because there were holes everywhere. It's rather big but if you have the space, there's no reason why you couldn't just keep it inflated. You would be able to use the slide, and ball blaster just the same.

You leave it plugged in for continuous airflow. So far it's been a great product, durable & a great size for many kids (including the 6-8yr old range)....but it takes a lot of balls (we have 1500 in ours & it is barely 2 balls deep, we are looking at investing in another 1500). It folds away to almost nothing & set up/take down is almost effortless - - - as long as you have somewhere to store the balls.

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.

No you can't. The blower needs to constantly be on when you want it inflated. You will leave it plugged in when you want it up.

I just inflate it with an air compressor. If you have a bike tire pump this would also work but may take a little longer

Not sure what you mean exactly, but if you mean does it automatically inflate it's self when it loses air during use, the answer is no. You need to turn on the pump to inflate the mattress. It will lose air in the course of normal use, especially if left inflated for a period of time. Just plug into an outlet and turn on the pump to inflate to reinflate to desired firmness.

There is a small plastic piece that holds the air in. To inflate you can use a handheld pump, like the kind if you were inflating a pool float. The pump is not included with this ball.

Self inflating yes and need a few puffs of air by mouth to top it off. No pump needed. This is a great purchase.
