How difficult is this to inflate?

It inflates like a beach ball but. Definately not something you would want to blow up yourself though. I used a battery operated pump that I use for air mattresses.

Its not difficult at all, it takes about a five minutes to blow it up as you breath into the nozzle on one end of the plastic. It works quite well.Leonard

Inflated it by strong breaths into the nozzle BUT it did not stay inflated. Mine was defective.

I'm sorry, I don't know. My husband blew it up with an air compressor, which was quite easy. I highly recommend this product. I have used mine it 90 plus temps and it kept the food well chilled for hours.

We had to use a very large air compressor and it still took about an hour. I imagine it would take days to inflate from a lighter jack. Once we inflated we just kept the air in it and just fill up if its running a bit low.

you have to plug it into a wall socket to inflate it. I don't think there is anyway to inflate it without plugging it in. I didn't see a way nor did it mention how to do that in the instructions, without plugging in that is.

yes it is self inflating. you may have to add extra if you want a more firm feel.

Actually, mine was already inflated enough for my daughter to sit on and have it wiggle. But you insert the pump with the metal tip and it should inflate.

Yes-it's very easy. You should not inflate this ball fully. Mine is about 3/4s full. It's a personal preference.

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.

With a good pair of lungs and taking your time you can do it yourself, but we used a bicycle pump, much faster. Be careful not to over inflate. It is a great little item for my Granddaughter she loves it.

No...it does not come inflated. You'll need one of those tire/air pump things to inflate it.

I used an electric pump and it still took several minutes. There are two places to inflate

Yes the best way to inflate this is by buying a small air pump, I have a coleman one that I bought at walmart for $20 that works perfect to blow up all our inflatables.(would take a long time to blow up by mouth :) )

The pillow is actually very light. However I really find these hard to inflate.

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.

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.

It is inflated but you always wont to put air in it for your preference of firmness. Have fun throwing the pigskin!!!!

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.

It inflates and deflates in minutes. But it is heavy and not so easy to pack up. Mine are queens, so it probably depends on the size you buy. It is comfortable. I bought 2 and no problems with either of them. I'd recommend it. The carrying case is a bag, about the size of a laundry bag. One person will struggle to put away, two will be ok. I thought it was cold to sleep on in the winter. I bought a cheap foam mattress topper and that solved the problem.
