Yeah, blow them up yourself the first couple of times and let them sit that way for a day or so. You've got to remember that they've been rolled up and compressed since they were originally packaged. Also, self-inflating pads will always need a little help to get them inflated the way you want them. Sort of a symbiosis deal.

Open the valve all the way. Lay the pad in direct sunlight & if necessary blow some air into it for the first time, This allows the inner foam core to expand back to it's original size. Remember it's been totally compressed for a certain period of time.
