Not sure there is a single pump that will do well with all of those. The best pump for an air mattress is high volume, low pressure. The best pump for a ball is high pressure, low volume.
I have an inflatable mattress that came with a battery (4 D cell) operated high volume pump. It's crappy but it fills the mattress quickly enough to the point where it's almost firm enough. Then I switch over to my paddleboard pump to finish the job; six or eight strokes and I'm done. The SUP pump will also do a great job on basketballs and such. I use the same technique (battery pump first, then SUP pump) on my SUP, although taking it to 12-13 psi takes maybe 30 extra pumps.
I see there's an "Airhead" pump on Amazon that looks nearly identical to my Advanced Elements pump. No idea if they are the same internally, but the Airhead is half the price.
