An air mattress with an internal electric pump - not a bad purchase! This 18" air mattress comes with a built-in pump, which makes it easier to inflate. The internal pump helps the consumer carry less baggage and ensures the mattress can be inflated with ease. The internal pump encasement has a storage compartment for the cord. The mattress comes in a nylon carrying case allowing for easy transport of the air mattress. I consider the carrying bag with air mattress of moderate weight and relatively easy to carry. The air mattress is blue and grey. I suggest using a sheet to provide and more traditional bedding feel when you lay on the air mattress. I purchased the queen size and the mattress is very comfortable to rest on and maneuver on the bed if necessary. The bed is very firm and does not deflate or alter its firmness when weight is applied. This air mattress will provide extra sleeping space for guests and it is certain guests will sleep comfortably.
