This pump requires a cigarette lighter-type 12VDC power receptacle. We take a portable "jump starter" when camping and use it to power the inflator when blowing up the airbeds. If you are going to use it strictly in the home, I would grab an 120VAC version like the one at this link. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-120V-Electric-Quick-Colors/dp/B0009PURX6/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1395443584&sr=1-2&keywords=120v+air+pump

We used the pump we use for our inflatable mattresses. It has a funnel looking adaptor that came with the pump. Filled quickly. You can buy the pumps on Amazon. Ours is a Coleman. Search air pump for inflatables.

I suggest a 40lb thrust. I use a Coleman air pump with no issues. Good trolling motor battery and charger are also important. As with any trolling motor, don't expect to troll all day or get an extra battery.

Yes ours came with a pump that inflates and deflates the mattress. We LOVE our Airbed for camping and company!

Without using the included "regulator" this pump generates enough pressure to burst a Coleman air mattress. (Learned my lesson and I'm substantially more careful now.) It inflates really fast, but it's "ear-splitting, always wear hearing protection" loud. I've used it to inflate large towables. It does the job in a hurry and with plenty of pressure so that there's no need to "top it off" with a hand pump.

You need to use a pump made for air mattresses. Amazon sells them for around $20, maybe less. Be sure to use a pump that (1) has multiple valve adapters, particularly one that is long and skinny--sort of like a needle, but NOT a needle; and (2) has a "reverse" feature that will allow you to suck the air out using the same adapter. Trying to get the air out of the mattress by putting you weight on it and squeezing open the valve will take forever. As far as a bicycle pump is concerned, I have seen (I think I actually own one) some adapters that might work, but bike pumps don't have the ability to pull the air out like most air mattress pumps do.

I use an electric pump for air mattresses that I got at Target in camping section for $20. Works great and you can inflate the tubes really quickly.

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 !

The compressor works just like one at a gas station. Whatever fitting that comes with the air mattress should work fine. Be careful not to over inflate.

Anything that blows air, even a hair dryer. I've been camping in below-freezing weather for several days so I used the built in pump when it deflated a bit. Works great and would find carting around an extra pump a wast of time, space, and energy.

I purchased a Coleman 120v Electric Quickpump, it was $20 at Menards. You can also find them in sporting goods stores and maybe Walmart. They are great for inflating airbeds, water floating toys, and work good for these pools. I have purchased a battery operated one but don't recommend as the air flow is not as strong, plug in ones are best.

An air mattress pump works best. But I have an air compressor, that we wrapped a washcloth around the nozzle to fill. As it is not meant to take a standard air compressor nozzle, this worked best.

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

I am able to use my Coleman QuickPump with the AIRHEAD AHAD-1 Air Adapter. I have found it to work with practically any pump that I have.

I bought this Coleman Quick pump which came with two types of nozzles, it works well. You have to hold the nozzle at the port site, but it inflates so quickly that the minor inconvenience didn't bother me: Coleman 120V Electric Quick Pump, Colors May Vary
