I have an inflatable kayak, and bought a cheap inflator pump at Kmart in
the camping section.  Can't remember the brand.  Intermatic comes to
mind.  It is red plastic and works on 12v from lighter plug.  less than
$10.  It is fast, and loud.  I am sensitive to loud sounds of certain
frequencies, and this is pretty annoying.  But you can't beat the speed it
will inflate large items.  It will not develop much pressure, just a lot of
air volume.  On my kayak, I give the large chambers 2 or 3 puffs from my
lungs when the air pump is done, and it is fine.  For a mattress, you may
not even need to do this depending on how firm you like it.
