how does it get inflated?

I used a pump that came with my exercise ball. Otherwise its the gas station...no way I could blow this up :) Still inflated though.

You blow it up. Fun while it lasted but developed a leak pretty quickly and became useless.

You blow it up. Easier with an air pump, but you can do it the conventional way. My concern is with the quality of the plastic. In my opinion, it can't withstand young boys for very long. And, it used to.

It inflates rather quickly. Less than a minute if I had to ball park it. We used it for a production of Willy Wonka for Violet as the blueberry. It worked perfectly and inflated quickly. Hope this helps!

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.

I believe it just came packed in the box...it's not inflated when you get it but it comes with a device to help you inflat it which is super easy :)

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.

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.

The ball is inflated. I bought my friend this ball and gave it to him in December, and he never had to inflate it and still hasn't, and they use and abuse that ball

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

It needs to be inflated with helium. You receive it flat, you need to add air.

It comes inflated but occasionally needs extra air, I am in Boulder at altitude so most of the time I have to check the air pressure in the ball and add or deflate a bit. Sam Iannetta

No, it comes deflated and you have to blow it up. It's a great toy, my granddaughter loves it!

It inflates fairly quickly- better than the inflatable bed I had previously. We've used it a half-dozen times so far and have been happy with its performance and comfort. Hope this helps.

Unless you have a pump with a gauge, you just have to feel for "Firmness" when inflating. If I am not mistaken, the valves are 1-way, only allowing air to go in, then there is a dump valve to deflate.

No, we had to inflate it. Its not that hard and doesn't take long, our issue was with it deflating overnight.

No. You inflate it using a pump (included) and it either deflates naturally (from body pressure over time) or you open up one of the gauges to release air pressure. It has worked well for my mom and the quality of the fabric is very good. (More than you asked, I know.)

It deflates very easily. Just unscrew a knob on the side and it deflates in minutes. Then it rolls up and stores in a cloth bag. The bag has a strap for easier carrying.

It has a valve that you blow into to blow it up. It does inflate quite easily. However the product did not have a very long life as it began to leak after the first week of using. Would not recommend buying this product.
