Hi Mary, we used a pump. We used an electric one that we plunged into an outlet. I believe it was a Coleman? Our battery one wasn't that strong. We pumped it up at the camp then carried it down to the lake.

I used a pump from academy that you can plug into cig connection in your truck or car

This is a very big raft that takes a lot of air. You will need a high volume low pressure air pump. I bought the VMK air pump from Amazon. It plugs into the outlet in my truck and fills the raft relatively quickly.

We used a pump. I would NOT recommend trying to blow it up by mouth as it would take forever. Not sure what kind of pump though, but I am guessing most would work.

A bike pump is normally used, or any air mattress can be used as well, but in an emergency you can also blow it up by breathing into it...it may take longer but it works fine.Great product and we still use if a lot.

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.

I bought a pump that plugs into the car. You could blow it up with your mouth, but it's pretty big for that.

Absolutely not necessary to bother with a pump....it IS very easy/quick to just blow it up with your own lung power.

Air. It comes with a cheap plastic pump which works well, but I use a compressor to fill it faster.

You will have to buy an air pump that had the interchangeable pieces that look like funnels to blow up your bed. You have the option of blowing it up by mouth but I don't recommend it because it takes a lot of energy and it takes a while to do it

You have to have continuous air. It's the same set up as a blow up bounce house

you can blow it up yourself, its just time consuming... there are about 3 valves; One for the bottom where they sit, One for the surrounding ring and head, and one for the shade. It takes a couple of minutes to inflate.

We did it by mouth. It's really big but honestly it didn't take too long to blow it up this way, maybe 5 minutes of breath so there is no need to buy something special if you don't have an air pump.

My husband has an air compressor and used that to blow up mine. I hope this helps.

You can pump it by blowing into it. Since it's so small, it's not too difficult. You can also buy a battery powered pump to blow it up.

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

It does not come with a pump, it blows up like a balloon. I have asthma and was able to blow it up firm enough for my son.

They don't provide a valve and it would make it much easier if you could just pump it up. Blowing it up took so long that i eventually quit and tossed the wedge out when I got home. You would need a bicycle floor pump and a half hour to pump it up. Getting it flat after it is inflated is a challenge also.

My mom blew it up originally because we couldn't find our air pump. It didn't take her long. I also use a bike pump when necessary.

You blow it up manually with your mouth. There are two small compartments to blow up and you have to pinch the valves while you blow into it. It's really simple.
