How should I inflate my self-inflating pad the first time?

Upon first use, your sleeping pad made need some extra time to self-inflate from storage in its packaging. We recommend opening the valve and letting your sleeping pad sit out for 2-4 hours, or even overnight. For best performance, inflate your self-inflating pad with air by breath or pump and sack and leave the mattress fully inflated before your first use. Note, our self-inflating technology applies to our foam pads only, not our air pads.
