Will this work for someone who is bed ridden

The answer is yes but with a catch (well, several catches actually). I use it for my wife. I wouldn't say it is easy but it does work. First we use a sling with a hoyer lift. Secondly, I have to raise the bath so that the lift legs can under it. I do this with two cinder blocks and a 3/4" piece of plywood (Interior grade sanded smooth)*. The Set-up: I first move the cinder blocks into place then take the empty hoyer and make sure that I can indeed maneuver it in between the blocks and that the blocks are spaced so that they can support the board/bath. We have a small bathroom with a narrow doorway so everything has to be just right. I then take the plywood board and place it on the blocks, I use a piece of 6 mil plastic on top to keep the plywood from getting wet and as additional protection for the tub, then I put the empty tub on the board. I purchased a shower head with a handle and also an extension so that it can reach the bathtub area with room to spare. From there, I fill the tub partially with the shower head, get my wife into the sling and wheel her into the bathroom and into the tub. She never leaves the sling by the way. You also have to account for your hoyer lift being able to raise your loved one above the lip of the tub. Since it is pliable, there is some leeway. If the above sounds like a lot of work, well, it is however, there is nothing like a bath and you can really get your significant other clean. I do a lot of bailing of water of course but I do have a siphon and today in fact I'm off to Harbor Freight to pick up a submersible pump (I need the water volume to calculate the output needed, came back to Amazon and saw this question. Pretty arcane knowledge I know). I keep the tub inflated and stored in the real bath tub, the cinder blocks are stored to the side in the bathroom, the board gets lugged from another room. Your loved one is worth the effort. *The guys at Home Depot were really helpful once I told them what I needed the plywood for. They cut it to my specs (It's a little larger than the tub), All I had to do is sand the edges a bit.

this may be a silly question but how do you fill it?

A fish tank maintenance hose allows you to empty and fill it from the sink. They come in 10-100 foot lengths.

Does it fit into a bathtub with a shower (for temporary use)?

Well, not unless you are creative. This is a temporary tub.... but worth the effort if you just need a soak from time to time. Also depends on how high the lip to your shower is. The blow-up tub is very flexible and if your lip is only an inch or two then it will just bend over it. I put the draining (foot) end in the shower and the other part jets out into the bathroom a few feet. I built a small platform for the tub to go on that is about four inches high and the length of the tub..( 5 ft or less) It works, but this is a silly tub and baths, though warm and comfy, have to be taken with a sense of humor.

What is the return policy?

I don't think there is one, you would have to go to back to your order, then ask. Sorry, it doesn't show anywhere. BUT I am very happy with it, and I see no problems with pump or construction of the tub very sturdy. NO COMPLAINTS>
