The bottom picture on Amazon shows AC/DC &amp; the mattress comes with an AC plug. Does anyone know how an DC could adapt to blow up this mattress?

I wouldn't recommend getting this model. Ours ripped right near the ac plug and it can't be patched due to the location of the tear. It wasn't anything we did, i think it's just the way it is designed.

DC stands for Direct Current. I'm not an electrian so I would suggest doing a google search. My concerns are with the EMF from AC electric blankets. Be sure to do some research before using a non DC (Low Voltage) blanket.

I have a wall outlet behind the headboard, so I have the mattress pad plugs at the headboard end of the bed. If you plug in at the foot of the bed, you should run the wires under the bed, which may not be easy for some people. What you want to avoid is having wires where they would be a trip hazard. I have had my Biddeford pad for 4 years and love it. Just set on "3" it takes away the chill and makes my poor old arthritic back feel so good.

I am sot certain, I am sure that as it fills with air it is make a high pitched noise as the pump attempts to fill past full. This is my second mattress the first lasted 15 months as I am in Afghanistan right now I love this mattress it only uses 120v I blew the first mattress pump up with 220V they exchanged it with no questioned asked. To answer the question I have never filled it to the point of exploding but have had it get very full as the punp with start to make noise and tell you it full.

This is a power inverter so by itself it cannot blow up an air mattress. However, most air mattress pumps should work with this inverter to blow up an air mattress. It has enough power.

There's now an update on how to do the AC adaptation that looks even nicer:http://russelldad.blogspot.com/2009/02/guest-post-baby-swing-batteriesplug.html If you're comfortable with a soldering gun, it looks pretty straightforward!

I just bought the 10 lbs version and there is no AC plug, I should have read more of the answers and waited to buy the adapter, time to call up Amazon.

Mine did NOT come with the DC adapter, which is the whole reason I bought it. Returning to Amazon. False advertising.

Both are ac/dc, but mine are always plugged in , less static interferance. I used the batteries before and didn't like it because it was too static. The batteries wore out in a few days.

If you mean well it change DC to AC power the answer is no. It only supplies AC Power. There is no DC outlets on it.

Hi Miss, You probable have your answer but I thought I would elaborate on this. On the DC side, 25 amps. On the AC side, 15 or 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker. Not sure which side e.g. AC or DC you were refering to. You could use a AC power strip & surge protector that has a 15 amp breaker built into it with a manual reset button. Good luck, Greg.

The AC/DC questions is kinda important before I order this thing to use in Europe. So if anyone can check their adapters for that, I'd be very happy :-)

yes. there is no other way to get air into the mattress. I don't think you have to have it plugged in to keep it inflated. You might be able to inflate it using your car plug. just a thought. I haven't try it.

I have had the bed plugged in for just under two months, I have only heard it come on one time. It would only need to use electricity if it is loosing air and needs to adjust the pressure. You could always leave it unplugged until you noticed a difference in firmness to make sure you do not waste electricity.

Thanks for your efforts. My wife was also confused by the information and disappointed when we found out that ours does not include an AC adapter. Not sure why Fisher Price would make one without an adapter in this day and age, especially when it is only a few bucks cost to them.

It has plug-ins for DC but I don't remember it coming with an adapter. If it did, I cannot find it. I use it in the garage, so it's plugged into the AC outlets. Sorry I cannot help you.
