How long will this take to inflate a king-sized Coleman airbed? Thanks!

Hello! I'd guess it would take six or seven minutes. My wife and I have single-size air mattresses and it usually takes about 100 up/down cycles. That translates to about three or four minutes. I like the pump because I don't have to rely on a battery or an electrical connection, but I'll also probably end up getting a better operated pump at some point just because of the convenience and, in the warm months, the ability to set up with less chance of building up a sweat. Good luck! Tom

It takes about 3-5 minutes for each twin mattress if you're putting two together to make a king. I'd imagine it would take somewhere around 5-7 minutes if it's one continuous king size mattress. Really depends on if it's a double stack, if it's one continuous mattress, and how fast you pump!

I bought an an electric pump. The reviews made the hand pump sound easy. So to save money I bought this, and would return electric pump. I pumped maybe 1 min by hand and was done. I went to electric and bed was inflated in less than 1 min. Did not give hand pump a chance.

That's not been my experience ..... I let mine self inflate for about 20 min or so then gave it a few lung fulls of air to finish the process (probably not something you'd want to do in freezing weather). While it is true that the longer you wait the more air will naturally migrate into the mattress, but you do reach a point where you get increasingly diminishing returns. Normally 10 to 20 min is plenty followed by some forced air input either by lung power or small pump to finish the inflation to your tastes of firmness.

I used an air mattress pump I already had because it inflates really fast. It worked on this and blew it up in less than a minute. Pretty much any standard pump should work.

It takes minutes to decompress, but don't expect a full sized bed in minutes; it definitely takes time. I received mine on Saturday (9/5/15) and I still don't think it's in its full form.

It's inflatable, so it depends on the air pump you use. An electric pump fills it up in about 5 min. Pre inflated its about 16"x 12" fully folded up. It's just like an inflatable pool.

It should work for you. It works off of air pressure thus it will inflate until it reaches the predetermined pressure.

Hi I bought mine just before a camping trip --It inflates with the separate air blower that takes 4 D size battery's --I had one that had the pump built in and it would go soft halfway through the nite --Enjoy ---Rog

The bed is also easy to inflate thanks to the included high-output pump, which inflates the airbed in approximately 2-1/2 minutes total (1-1/4 minutes each for the mattress and frame).

requires a unique pump. I used a air mattress pump from Coleman. It's runs on a charged battery and filled 6 tubes in minutes, no problem. Don't remember price but I think it was around $30. That has worked the best.

I'm sorry for the delay, I have not tried to inflate the bed while lying on it. I will say that I slept on it for nine days and enjoyed it every night. It's a little loud late at night, but it inflates very fast. You will not roll off the edge and the middle does not sink. I would buy another if I needed one.

I think will depend on how thick the mattress is. The 4" one that I have took less then a 45 seconds.

Yes, it does. It takes just a couple of minutes to inflate or deflate the airbed.

You bet. It takes maybe 10 minutes to deflate and roll up. This has been great for our family!!

I bought two of these in twin size for my boys. I let them air out for 24 hours, then started using them. However I also have a California king that did need the 48 hours to fill out.

I'd get a better pump. This is good for a smaller mattress. Mine are 74 X 39 X 9 and it takes a bit to inflate it. Your mattress would not only take you quite a while but depending on how firm you want your mattress ( to me ) it won't inflate it to be anywhere near firm. Coleman's duel action hand pump ( $12 ) would be a better choice for a low cost pump. Don't be fooled because it's a hand pump. I wish I would have bought it rather than this one. Read the reviews for the battery pump and you'll see almost all say ok for small mattresses and the hand pump reviews say it inflates quicker and can inflate the mattress to be firmer ( and no batteries to buy ). Hope this helps !

It's the size of a duffle bag when packed. Unfortunately, the foot pump [on mine] did not work. I may have been using it incorrectly but so far on the one camping trip I took it on, I was unable to inflate it. Had to borrow a friend's air spare air mattress!

I have not done this, but it takes me 30 minutes to inflate with a foot pump.
