If you need to inflate an air mattress for a guest and can't find your electric or battery powered air pump you can always use a bagged vacuum cleaner as shown in the video above by YouTube user juliakg. Their method inflates the air mattress in around 10 seconds.

If you don't have a vacuum cleaner with bags, there are several other YouTube instruction videos demonstrating how to inflate an air mattress with a shop vac, a blow dryer, and even a leaf blower. Basically you just need something that can force air into the mattress.
