do you need a air pump to inflate it? how long would it take to inflate it by mouth?

I would use a pump because if you blow it by mouth you would need a really good set of lungs and some time to do it.

I would use a pump to blow it up, otherwise it will take forever. However, I would not recommend this product. Ours did not hold air and had to be blown up consistently.

i would definitely use a pump or compressor. it is possible by mouth but that would take a while, depending on how much air you have. lol

I think it would take along time. Our pump was broken so we rolled paper and used a hair dryer, went pretty quick.

It's not hard to inflate at all. Only one of the valves is the kind you have to pinch while you blow air in, and that portion doesn't need much air. My husband inflated the whole thing in maybe five minutes.

Self inflating yes and need a few puffs of air by mouth to top it off. No pump needed. This is a great purchase.

Yes it comes with a pump, which requires 4 "D" cell batteries. If the batteries are fresh it will inflate the mattress in under 2 minutes.

It's outfitted with two small air holes such as you find on regular inflatable toys. Make sure your air pump has a nozzle that will fit in and you're good to go. I recommend using a manual air pump, otherwise it will take awhile to blow up, and if you use an air compressor you could over inflate it. FYI: Takes a bit of time to deflate too, as all the air has to come out of those tiny holes, but it was super fun to play around on.

Not at all! It comes with an electric pump and takes about 2-3 minutes to fully inflate.

It comes with a hand pump. Takes about 15 minutes to air up. I recommend you getting a 12V electric pump.

I use a rechargeable air pump with a switch to deflate . It only takes 2 minutes.

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

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

It is not self inflating so yes you do need to buy a pump. But i will say it's been about a month in a half to 2 months and it is still inflated. The last one i bout lasted a couple days.

No pump needed, they are similar to a squeeze toy. They come "inflated", so to speak; you can squeeze the air out and they self inflate back to original size.

No, it does not come with an air pump. I do not know why you would need an air pump. There is no place on the kite to pump air into.

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.

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.

I bought the hand pump that was recommended on amazon, and ended blowing it up by the old fashioned method...my mouth.I should say my sisters mouth, I have Pulmonary fibrosis, and have no lungs anymore. It is small enough that you can blow it up by mouth in about 10-12 minutes. with several resting breaths in between.

It didn't come with a pump, but I was able to blow it up by using my mouth. It's a very small, soft, rubbery ball, and didn't take much air to fill up. It was much easier to blow up than a balloon is.
