An air bed mattress with built in sponge pump  that is readily available at Target stores sometimes do not come with an instruction manual on how to inflate it. It leaves some buyers looking for guide elsewhere, much like the experience of this particular buyer who figured it out on her own and suggested to do this:

What I did: took off the cap and valve from the pump and pumped using my bare foot making sure I was covering the hole with my foot while pressing the pump and letting air in while lifting my foot. Because the sponge pump sends the air in other parts of the mattress, it’s hard to see that the mattress is in fact being inflated. There are two other valves on the mattress but they seem not to be used while inflating the airbed using the pump.

A word of caution, too…this mattress does deflate after a few hours. So, really it’s just a temporary bed and should never be considered as permanent house furniture.

Sleep better on an air mattress while hearing your favorite music with the Coleman Quickbed, so equipped with an amplifier and speakers. It has ports that allows you to connect your iPod or MP3 players.

Whether you are off on a camping trip or laying indoors on this air mattress, you can literally stay tuned to the stuff you’d like to listen to.

The Quickbed is protected by Coleman’s AirTight system, which features a double lock valve that locks in air twice, guaranteeing a leakproof performance through the years. No more waking up on the cold, hard ground after a night of slow air release. The valve also opens extra wide for quick and easy inflation and deflation. And thanks to the powerful built-in 4D QuickPump–which runs on four D-cell batteries–you can save your lungs for more important concerns, like breathing.
