Coleman California Dreamin Water Mattress

I purchased this last week to use this weekend on one of Seattle's nicer days! Took it to a small place called Jetty Island and floated just off the shore of Puget Sound for hours! A friend of mine had a water hammock and she was not happy with it. She kept saying she wished she had one like mine. <br />It was very quick to inflate. You definately can't do it with your mouth, the valve is too big. It' similar to a camping mattress valve. I purchased a battery operated Coleman air pump and that worked great. Filled up the mattress in about 10 seconds. The pump is also small enough to tote to the beach! <br />The mattress felt very sturdy, good quality, and lots of fun!! I will be purchasing more.....and so will my friend!
