How does it self inflate?

Initially I thought it blew itself up on its own. I definitely had to help it along via blowing in the in-valve the first night. Second night it inflated itself better. From what I've read, after it's broken in a bit, it inflates itself almost totally. Either way, I can honestly say it's well worth it even if you have to give it a few extra blows. Extremely comfortable & durable. No kidding, I think I like it better than my own bed!! Lol!!

hey nicole, no it doesn't inflate, its like a sheath you put around your pad that protects it from the ground...think of it as a tough sock you put your pad in to keep it from being punctured...hope this helps

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.

It has a valve that you blow into to blow it up. It does inflate quite easily. However the product did not have a very long life as it began to leak after the first week of using. Would not recommend buying this product.

There is a small plastic piece that holds the air in. To inflate you can use a handheld pump, like the kind if you were inflating a pool float. The pump is not included with this ball.

I found it easy to inflate by mouth but it's getting the thing closed before the air starts billowing out is a problem!! I have yet to get itcompletely inflated..lose a lot of air while trying to close it up.

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.

To inflate it, you plug it into a wall. I don't have a charger with mine. Mine requires an outlet with electricity in order 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.

My husband generally pumps it up with his electric air pump. I'm not sure what size or capacity his is, but it takes about 30 min to inflate completely.

No , it is not self inflatable. You have to blow each of the of the 5 chambers separately. It's tricky, because you have to pinch each valve hard in order to blow air in , same thing for releasing air. It's comfortable to sleep on, and light weight for back packing.

There are simply airpockets in the foam that full with air when you unroll the mattress and open the valve. After an hour or so, we give a few good blows to fully inflate it.

When you unroll it, it inflates. You have to do this a couple of times before it fully inflates.

No it doesn't. Have to keep an eye on the pressure. No problem tho as it doesn't inflate so quickly that you can't keep track.

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.

It inflates fairly quickly- better than the inflatable bed I had previously. We've used it a half-dozen times so far and have been happy with its performance and comfort. Hope this helps.
