The answer is sometimes! Here’s the breakdown:
- Many Do: A lot of air mattresses come with built-in or separate pumps, making inflation and deflation a breeze.
- Some Don’t: Some air mattresses require you to purchase a pump separately.
- Types of Pumps:
- Built-in pumps are super convenient.
- Separate pumps can be electric (plug-in or battery-powered) or manual (foot or hand pumps).
How to Know if a Pump is Included
- Check the Product Description: The description on the website or box will clearly state if a pump is included.
- Look for Images: Pictures often show whether there’s a pump attached or included separately.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Convenience: A built-in pump is the fastest and easiest option.
- Cost: Air mattresses with built-in pumps might cost a bit more.
- Flexibility: A separate pump can be used for other inflatables too (like pool toys).
I hope this helps!
