Blood pressure cuff inflation?

To what number do you usually inflate the cuff to when taking your own pressure or when your pressure is taken by another?

I usually pump the cuff to 200...my boyfriend takes it up even more sometimes to 260mmhg!

When taken a Blood Pressure taken, the cuff should be inflated to a pressure approximately 30mmHg greater then systolic, as estimated from the disapperance of the pulse in the brachial artery by palpation.

That's true if you use the 2 step method.
