Can it be used without inflating it?

Yes, it can be used without being inflated. I'm very satisfied with this product, and my physical therapist also likes it.

In relation to the first comment, I thought the directions recommended to only use it when inflated. I just love this pad, you can inflate to whatever size you want .I highly recommend it, fits great in lower back or for shoulder pain.I was just using it today for a muscle spasm. Worked very well indeed. the purpose

Yes, according to the instructions it can be used to inflate a variety of items; including an exercise ball. Convenient, powerful, and compact - this simple air pump literally does it all. I use it to inflate my double air mattress for camping; and, it does the job in about 45 - 60 seconds. Although a bit loud, it works very fast and is reliable. I hope this helps to answer your question.

Yes it can. I use it all the time to inflate basketballs, etc. Works great.

You need to pump it up in stages so you wiuld need to wait that long just to inflate it. Once inflated you can use immediately.

Yes it can be used without a bag and the force is directed towards the ground.

No! this model of Coleman airbed can only be used with electricty to inflate - a valve shape that you see in the picture is for deflating only, i.e. you can't pump to inflate this type of airbed. The only solution that I would suggest is a Portable Generator for camping then you would able to use this airbed.

Yes it can, we have the auto pump that goes with it. It will inflate and can be slept on, but by morning it is deflated not fully but some.

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.

The Pad self inflates and deflates on its own easily. It would be totally up to the individual if they wanted to use a pump, however, it is not necessary. We trust that is helpful.

I just inflate it with an air compressor. If you have a bike tire pump this would also work but may take a little longer

No - it is designed to use with inflatables for which it is awesome on all size inflatables and both inflating and deflating. Look for a high pressure foot pump for bike/car tires. Though manual they are compact and work well.

Yes you can deflate it when done using or to travel. Blows up with tube and then you can let air out when you want to.

Once it inflates, you need to purchase the CO2 re-arming kit (over $20 on Amazon) for the next use. Of course, you can blow it up manually but that defeats the whole concept. Since Amazon does not let you return this item, I would definitely check this out at a sporting goods store first. I, for one, would not buy it again.

A pump is not included. It is recommended to inflate with a foot pump or air compressor (sold separate).

One way only, Patrice. You can use it to suck the air out of those storage bags but it won't inflate an inner tube.

Does inflate itself without you having to blow it up with your mouth? I see both comments below?
