How difficult is it to deflate and how large is it when deflated for storage? Thanks.

It does not inflate or deflate. It is a foam pad that you roll up. It is about a three foot roll. It is awesome! Lots of fun!

We have an air pump that inflates and also deflates the WOW so it is easy. When deflated we fold it and it is about 2' by 2' by 1 1/2'.We use it on a lake so take it out and put it on the dock each evening which is really easy compared to some inflatables we have had.I purchased my first one last year and added a second one this year. Our guests have loved using it.

Not difficult to deflate , if you have a pump / deflator. Depends on how much of the air you pull out or remove , as to deflated size

Buy an air pump that has a deflate option and it is a piece of cake. Deflated it goes in the box it came in. I bought two and my grandkids beat them to death wrestling, running on them and jumping off them for two weeks of daily abuse. Love these floats. Great buy.

Mine deflates at least 50% between uses. It's annoying, but it's so fast to reinflate that I don't care. If you're using it a lot it will be inconvenient.

In about 2-3 minutes,maybe less. it has an auto deflate. You simply plug it in, turn the dial to deflate and it does.

I also wanted to add that if you plan to blow it up without a pump it can be a pain. I kept it blown up, but if you don't plan to then I would get a cheap pump so it's easier to deflate/inflate.Also, the temp reading is not accurate so I wouldn't go by that which again to me is not a big deal.

Incredibly easy. Comes with a pump to inflate and deflate. It's a little noisy but no worse than your typical pump for something like that.

It takes me about 5 minutes. My friend has a Big Agnes pad and it takes him just as long. The difference is that you have to fill 6 different sections, with 6 different valves. Inflating it is not as bad as I thought it would be. Deflating it is another matter. It is irritating to fight the little pinch valves to get the air out.

It deflates quickly. I think it took less than 5 minutes to deflate. I let it lay for a while before I folded it up and put it back in its bag.

It will deflate in 5-10 minutes, aided by folding/rolling it up and sitting on it to press the air out. Unfortunately it is too big and unwieldy for a backpack; I keep mine in a 40-gallon contractor's garbage bag in the trunk of my car.

When its turned on to deflate is takes no more than 5 mins. What a great air mattress and I have owned many. The owner of the company is extremely customer and quality centric.

Easy to deflate with the deflating setting. I was about to store it in the bag the first few times quite easily.

You store it in a small bag - not the box - when it is deflated and it rolls up smaller than the bag they provide and just a little smaller than a sleeping bag. It is not large to store at all. Super easy!

I had no problems laying on it just a couple hours after I unboxed it. I don't see any issues with doing so, not really any way you could damage it that way. It decompresses very quickly, and mine was a king size.

It depends on what you are doing as to how much it has to be inflated. Over all I personally am very dissatisfied with the product. It is way too bulky. I there it away.

I've had one for about four years. It's very loud but has worked fine. The pressure gauge is off by five PSIs but once you inflate the tires and check it with a better gauge, you'll know when to stop inflating by adjusting for the difference. I have to replace it now as the air hose is cracked. I would not recommend cramming the hose into the storage space.

Mine is still inflated so for exact dimensions deflated you'd needed to call company. They are very helpful. Amazon might tell u dimensions of the large box it comes in deflated. It is close to 3' by 4' deflated as the rubber is very thick and heavy.

Very quick to deflate and inflate with the internal pump. It comes with a bag to store which is not that bad and it's big so when you deflate the bed It fits in the bag easily. I bought the queen size and it feels heavy but I think thats a good thing because it feels and looks durable. It took me alone about 5 minutes or less to inflate and about just a little over that to deflate and store.

When the air pump is off, this deflates and stores in the included bag that is about 12 inch x 12 inch, so very compact. The balls are what may be of concern for space. We ordered 4 bags of 200 balls. As long as you keep the bags they come in, which are zipper bags, storage isn't a problem. We should have ordered more balls because 800 barely cover the bottom.
