If it's too hard to blow up, you might want to re-consider your sport of choice. It's a LOT faster and easier to blow up than a regular air mattresses. It can easily be done in 1.5 minutes and 15-16 breaths (and this coming from an out-of-shape person who's lung capacity is less than stellar due to lung scarring). Personally, I find that 1.5 minutes and 15 long, slow breaths is well worth the excellent comfort of this sleeping pad. As for your other comment, that has nothing to do with the pad, but rather with the BA pad-in-bag system. If you want to sit-up, either deflate the pad a little or remove it from the sleeve!
