I'd suggest adapting a hose to fit both your inflator (or one that you choose to buy) and the valve of your current mattress. Yes, it might take some figgerin', with maybe an adapter or two, (common hardware stuff - see a good Ace Hdw. store) but you will have MADE it! As an idea maybe use some surgical/clear tubing, say 5/8" or so, and heat & flare the ends in order to create a good press-fit on the mattress valve as well as the inflator.
And, after all, you already OWN a mattress that works for you & is comfortable. ('course THAT wouldn't feed our inner 'more gear / more-gear' animal, but....)
