I should come with a pump. I found that I could blow it up by mouth easier and faster than using the pump.

You need the adapter to attach to the bed and a garden hose. Lay the mattress flat in the bed frame making sure all 4 sides line up. Turn the hose on and fill. I add the conditioner at the end after the mattress is filled to desired level.

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

Ours came inflated to the correct pressure. You can pump it up with a standard inflating needle and pump.

I just plugged it in and turned the dial to inflate. You don't need to inflate it until it feels stiff. I put one knee on it, and if I can barely the floor, it's perfect (for me anyway). I've had mine for two months. It replaced an older one that died after 5 or 6 years.

The product inflates without having to manually blow it up. You just unroll the mat and it inflates automatically.

You have to press down in the white area of the inflating tube. This can be done using the cap. Just the cap tab inside and push down.

There is a valve on the one side. You should be able to re-inflat with a needle - like one used to reinflate a basketball. Go to your local sporting goods store and they should be able to help you.

I just looked on mine and I do not see any input holes for manual inflating.

Bed should be at room temperature before inflating or it may cause air leaks. Time to fully inflate is approximately 4 minutes. Turn dial on pump to "inflate" position. Bed will inflate hands free. When desired firmness is reached, turn dial to neutral position. To deflate, turn dial to deflate. Once excess air is released, turn dial to neutral position. Store bed in temp. Above 50 degrees.

You have to fill the mattress by external pump only. The internal pump is only for adjusting the firmness of the mattress once you have filled it. The mattress can get a little soft after use and stretching and this internal pump makes it easy to refill to firmness without dragging out an electric pump. Best air mattress i ever owned.

I haven't done it, but I am pretty confident you can use an air mattress pump or something similar. However they are really easy to blow up, easier than it looks, not a lot of air. They are a great buy, super cheap fun!

Yes a hand pump or battery operated air pump may be used to inflate the mattress.

I used my shop air compressor, but a small pump such as a water toys inflater would work also. I does take a while to inflate.

We used a goot pump to inflate. Didn't take too long, maybe half an hour. Each of the three tiers is inflated separately.

If this mattress is vacuum inside the box, how is it when you take out of the box and how do you get to regular mattress size.

It's super simple, it has a small compartment that houses a plug, and once it's plugged in you flip a switch and the pump turns on. It has a two way design, so once you're done with the bed, you just turn the nob on the pump panel and it deflates.
