Others have ask "how can I use this both at home and outdoors?" My response was "Having this and a battery pack make a good combination." With a "jump-start" battery pack that usually has a lighter outlet, you can run this anywhere, then just recharge the battery when your done (and since it's only needed for a few minutes at a time, a battery is OK where you don't need a continuous power source). I think that is the easiest way to use anywhere and minimizes the issues of needing a 12V "power supply" to run it in your home (that would need to be like a 10 amp car battery charger) or a "power inverter" to run the AC version from your car.

the cord was long enough to go from the port in our car to the mattress, but almost half the mattress was in the the front seat, leading to alot of laughter from the teenagers in our camping group!

Cord is long enough to feed from middle of large truck to the outside air raft, a little tight, but it works.

The cord is between 36"-48" in length, but 12vdc cigarette lighter extension cords can be used with this item.

Hey! The pump reaches outside of the car, so you can blow it up while laying it on the ground:-) it's definitely not as short as the picture! Hope that helps

It's pretty short. Just measured mine and the cable is roughly 38" long and the plug adds another 1.5-2 inches roughly. I personally wish it was longer, but I just have mine sitting on a nightstand so it works ok.

Mine is a regular mattress (I believe it is 8 inches thick) and it fits perfectly. I think It may work for a thin camper mattress however, it may have a tendency to slide. I am not sure how tight it would be on a thin mattress.

Not sure, but I had the same problem. Since none of the COTS products were long enough anyway, I just spliced in several feet in the existing cord and that worked great. I was able to set a comfortable length for my application without having a bunch of extra hanging loose.

Go to a camping store and buy an air mattress repair kit. Takes about 20 minutes.

I would say too short, I used it for a 14' & just looking there is maybe 4 or 5" left over! Hope this helps!

There is a pole in the middle of the tent. The queen size air mattress should fit. It will however be very close to the tent pole

Sorry I don't know how long the cord is offhand and my husband is traveling with it right now. I don't remember it being short, though, just an average length cord. It comes with a wall adapter so you can plug it in to watch or charge the battery

Without actually measuring it (since it is in a rental unit) I would say it is 4'. You can add a short extension cord if needed, just make sure it is at least a 14 Gauge three prong plug and you will be fine. BTW: This is a very good unit and has worked without problems for over a year in my rental property.

Yea i'd agree it's about 4 feet. I have mine set up for surround sound up above me while im sleeping on both sides of my bed. I kinda think maybe the cord shouldve been a little longer but oh well.

It's fairly short, but long enough that I have excess cord wound up in the fixture. If you don't get a more precise answer from someone today, let me know and I'll take mine down when I get home from work today and tell you exactly how long it is.

Sounds too short, ur talking just a little over 8'. If you have Garden Ridges around u they had a short one when I ended up buying this one

Very short - about a foot. As it should be & is required to for safety. But you can add an extension cord to it.

The cord is about 10, maybe 12, inches long. The cord wraps almost completely around the unit one time. I use it when travelling to plug into the typical plug on nightstand lamp bases. There is enough cord to position it out of the way, but that's about it. Perfect for that kind of use.

The cord is 10 feet long. I have it running under the matress to the top of the bed to the outlet behind the bedside table. There is still a little slack in it. It has a regular 2 prong plug.

Without puling it out of the storage, that is what I know. I'm 5'10" and used on my camping trip last year,, it quite comfortable, I had several inches left at the head and foot side, and after using pillow, I had a comfortable nights. It is slightly narrower than regular cot, that's give extra room In tent, the width does not affect comfort.

If it is of shorter distance to an outlet & no way to hide or decorate the cord?You may need to shorten as it is over 4ft.of electrical cord.
