Yes you can use an electic pump.

The best ones I cant comment on. I got some online but cant remember where!

Have a google or a search on this forum. I have seen previous posts about them

got my last ones from b&q with 10 year guarantee. but i dont think much about them. everyone i have had hasnt lasted more than one or two camping trips. they easily get damaged packed in the car. ive had  different sorts. they do some in argos. you can also get the ones you can roll up to get air out. but they are hard work.

on the trip home i use the air bed electric deflater but it takes ages. i start by not closing zip fully and gently squeezing air out, then i finish off using deflator.

they are really usefull when they work. but my experience of them isnt good.

Hadn't thought ofn using vac bags, what a good idea.

Lakeland plastics used to do them don;t know if theystill do

The roll up ones are REALLY hard to roll... unless you are built like the worlds strongest man with the power to match lol. I found them to be a waste of money

I find the leccy pump works well on my big one but I dont expect it to last long. It feels very flimsy.

They are meant to reduce size by 75% but IMHO that is not true. Maybe 50 but certainly not 75.

But a little space saved is better than none :)
