Big AgnesCaptain Comfort Deluxe Camp | Supremely Comfortable, All-Weather, Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad

I normally like Big Agnes, but I am very disappointed with this pad. It claims to be self inflating, but I have had this think sitting out for 5 hours now with the valves open as instructed, and it is not anywhere near inflated enough to use as a pad. I will be returning this. My advice... find a different pad.

This is for the Captain Comfort 41 X 72I think this is probably a good pad IF you get one that works properly.Mine would only inflate on one side after the better part of one week of being left open and flat as per the recommendations. The other side seemed to have some weird suction pressure keeping it flat as a pancake.Big Agnes informed me that this is normal for this pad due to how tight the factory rolls them. They also told me they had no pump or valve adapters but I should try manually pushing air into this self inflating mattress yet they don't make the valve to accommodate any sort of pump. BA refused to give me a replacement for this pad that I believe is not working properly.I've always liked BA tents so I'm pretty sad to have such poor customer care from them on this rather expensive pad.I plan on trying the EXPED mat as it seems to have a good reputation and good reviews overall.
