How long to inflate a mattress by blowing?




I’ve lost the pump to my air mattress. Wondering if anyone attempted to inflate one manually (using your lungs) and if they had a rough estimate of how long it would take?

It’s a coleman single bed type mattress.

Ok, we are leaving on a Friday night—driving to Florida, going to Clearwater Beach for 1 day, then the next 2 days we will be going to Busch Gardens in Tampa….then the next 5 days we will be staying in Disney World at the Wilderness Campground and going to the Disney Parks for 4 days. Then we are driving home. We are taking a tent and big coleman blowup mattress and we are trying to go when the weather would still be warm for the beach and also nice in the evenings for camping. What dates would be the best for camping/beach/disney world people? We would prefer to not be at disney during the most busy time either, so which would be the best with non-peak time and weather?

Inflatable beds…Aero beds and their reviews?




I need to purchase an Aero bed; what style is best? Is it better to buy one with a pump built in, or best to purchase one that does not have a built-in pump. I have read mixed reviews. How long do they last? Pros/cons and would you recommend? Thanks.
The reason this question was posted in hunting is because the other category it defaulted to was "toys." Campers and hunters use this type of bed in tents.
If you have details to add such as a different brand that is just as good as Aerobed, or the price you would recommend in order to receive decent quality. I want to keep the price under 0, but still purchase a bed that won’t deflate /pop. The bed would be for guests; my son is 6′ 7" and weighs approx. 200-plus lbs. I do not want it to deflate; I have read reviews and some people have written this was a problem. There is one bed that has a regulator switch…where you can add or delete air with an attached remote control. I do plan to buy one that has a built-in pump. Thanks.
I purchased a Coleman double high Quickbed, queen size,with electric pump combo. The electric pump is separate. The reason was that the bed can be put anywhere, and an extension cord can be used to attach to the pump if there is no outlet near the inflatable bed’s location in a room. Otherwise, the built-in pump type, which has a cord that goes directly into a wall socket could have a disadvantage if the outlet is too far from where the bed will be blown up. I did my research. Regular price at Big 5 was ; I paid (on sale).

Why has my air mattress pump stopped working?




For my trip for church, I have to bring an air mattress. Luckily I was able to find ours and bought brand new size D batteries for it. It is a Coleman 4D Quick pump. I put in the batteries and inflated it to make sure it worked which took about 3 minutes.Then when it was deflating, I flipped on the pumped for no reason in particular and within 10 seconds it died. Then I left it on while I rolled the mattress up, and it came back on about 2 minutes later and then died 10 seconds later. The problem is that everywhere I read, the batteries are supposed to last a long time in this pump. One of the pieces of metal that touches a battery is a little rusty and corroded. Could this be the problem? Is there anything I can do?

I just recently purchased a fine coleman mummy sleeping bag. Would it be safe to stuff it into the stuff bag or do I really have to take the time to fold the sleeping bag air tight shut and then place it into the stuff bag?

I don’t want to damage my sleeping bag because it was so expensive. I would like to take care of it as much as possible.

Why my Air bed blow up from one place?




Hi I bought coleman air bed before 4 to 5 months.
It is really good and comfortable.But from when summer start ( before 20 days or so) my bed blow up from one place. I agree that that place is near to direct sunlight and this could be the reason. Anyone have idea why this happen and what I can do??

Thank You,
Shailee.

I have this coleman sleeping bag like brand new, except for this odor
like a grinding wheel smell. I’ve washed it 2 times, with white vinegar added, yet it still has that smell! Is there any way to remove it? Any
suggestions? I don’t know what to do?
