How does this mattress self inflate?

Yes it does. And then to deflate it you just open the valve and roll the air back out.

The pump does not deflate the mattress. You have to open the valve and the mattress then deflates. I find that once most of the air is out it you fold it In Thirds and as you roll it for storage the rest of the air is forced out. Keep in mind you have to roll from the end opposite the valve.

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.

It comes with everything to inflate also a patch which you WILL need. I had mine on carpet, never moved and in six months it was leaking--A LOT! Deflated completely in two days. Buy a better one.

It stays inflated. It doesn't come with a pump though so you will need that also. And don't overfill it because ours ripped at the seams and is not fixable

It has an outlet valve. It inflates to a certain point and the valve will release any excess air that's forcing its way into the mattress. I didn't have any problems with it, however after a while I had a bad leak and it would completely deflate while I was sleeping so I would wake up on a flat mattress. Just be careful with the hardware area and you should be fine.

The pump is built into the mattress, all you do is open a little hatch and plug it in . It goes up pretty quick and deflates quickly. I'm not say seconds, but 5min at the most for inflating it. I think the pump works better than any other pumps I've bought seperate from other mattresses

It is manual easy 2 inflate though hard 2 deflate I wouldn't buy this one again it was comfy but required 2 much 2 deflate.

No, there are no self-inflating pads. Nothing inflates. It is thin, but works very well. I like it, some do not.

Just unroll it , open the valve and it will inflate, then close the valve. It only inflates an inch or 2.

It inflates with a separate little pump kit which takes 4 D batteries. The problem with the little unit is getting it off once it's finished. There's no tight seal and a good deal of the air escapes as one is trying to remove the little apparatus from the end of the air bed. Very frustrating.

The mattress comes decompressed and rolled into a long "egg roll" the length of the mattress. It is in a nice carrying bag which I could move by myself. You cut it open and unroll it where you want it then let it fluff up.

Emme, The pump unit is a motor driving a fan. Nothing more. The fan has two holes. One is air in, the other is air out. Both holes have identical attachment parts. If you were able to inflate the air mattress, you will be able to deflate it. To inflate, you used one of the plastic nozzles provided and attached that to one of the holes. Using that same nozzle assembly, just move it to the other hole. Press the nozzle against the mattress fitting just the same as when you were filling. Ah, one trick....the mattress fitting has a one way valve inside it. That's so when you are done filling and remove the pump nozzle, it retains air in the mattress until you can get the plug in. You have to shove the nozzle in far enough into the mattress fitting so you push and displace that valve. Otherwise, it hold the air in the mattress. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't answer that as I have worn it (very comfortable) but haven't had to inflate it. Speculating however, YES!

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

No it does not self inflate. I now have 2 and find them very good for relieving back pain. It just takes 2 or 3 puffs of air to inflate for a comfortable fit. I like these because they hold the air for weeks and sometimes much longer. I hope this helps.

Turn the plastic valve, it will self inflate then close the valve to keep the air in.
