I used an air pump to fill mine. Wasn't necessary since it's the petite size but since my friend had the battery operated pump...anyway, we used one of the slightly larger adapters that came with the pump and just fit it over the nozzle, holding it tight against it and it was inflated in 60 sec or less. Don't blow it up tight, you'll want to be able to sink down into the mattress a little for added comfort.

There really isn't a good way to fill it with an air pump (...yes, I tried - sometimes the path of least resistance is a bit too tempting to ignore). However, it isn't all that difficult to inflate, it's definitely worth the extra bit of effort, and you can always sit around with your trail buds, seeing who turns blue first. LOL.
