I'm thinking it's the same stuff used to make things like the
children's "Bounce House" - which I've seen firsthand
and which seems pretty close to indestructible.

But I have no clue where to even start looking for the material and glue.

Can anybody shed some light?

One might ask "Why not buy the real thing"...

I think the real thing is grossly over-priced and under-spec'd.

To wit:

- The compressor seems to work from a lead-acid battery, which is
problematic shelf-life-wise to say the least - and lithium
battery compressors are readily available for 1/5 the price.

- There's a battery eliminator available - which looks to me
like just a 45-60 watt power source (no more than thirty bucks)
and they want $200 for it.

- For the little wall wart that charges the battery - which looks
like your basic 12v 2-3 amp computer equipment power supply
that retails for $5-10 max they're asking $50 - which gives me
another reference point as to their idea of pricing.

How about looking for just the bag part, instead of the whole system?
You can probably inflate it with a cheap, small air compressor like sold
to pump up a tire. Fabricating a bag, including attaching air fittings,
I think is going to be problematic.
