It is best to keep it open overnight so that the foam cells are fully restored. This may take more than one hour because the foam has been compressed for a long time. When the pad arrives, you should open the inflation valve and let it inflate. Two valves for inflation (left) and deflation (right). The valve on the left is for inflation and here you can use the mentioned Mini Pump, the same valve has a pin for fine adjustment. There are two wide but low-profile valves, one for deflation and one for inflation, see below how they look. It is important to stress that this is based on ASTM F3340-18) rating, so it is as reliable as possible for sleeping pads. The official R-value for this pad is 10.6 and in terms of temperature rating, this is incredible -70.6 ☏ (-57 ☌). What I like here a lot is the fact that the side walls are so vertical, there is no tapering and the width is fully used. You have transverse holes inside it that create a cradling effect. The insulation inside is a 16 kg/m² open-cell PU foam also Oeko-Tex 100 certified. This is about the certificate that confirms the human-ecological safety of textile products and leather articles from all stages of production. On the bottom, it is thicker so you have a 75D polyester with a TPU polyether film laminate, hydrolysis resistant, and Oeko-Tex 100 certified. The top shell fabric is a stretch and brushed pleasant 50D Tricot nylon with a TPU polyether film laminate, hydrolysis resistant, honeycomb embossed. If you need more pressure, you can use the included compact Mini Pump shown in the picture: The Mini Pump in the package. So just open the valves and let the pad inflates by itself. After you decompress the pad, the cells expand and suck the air in. This is a self-inflating pad, and this means it is filled with an open-cell foam that traps the air inside. There are two pads, one solo and one for two users. The table below shows the parameters for both of them. Note that on Amazon they sell it at the same place with a solo sleeping pad the Megamat Max 15. The word Duo implies that this is a large pad built for two users. You will see in the video below the philosophy behind this even if you keep the pad very soft, you will not drop to the bottom when you turn on the pad. There are no many sleeping pads on the market with such a thickness. The number 15 in the title is the thickness of this MegaMat Max Duo Sleeping Pad in centimeters, and this is almost 6 inches. So this pad is still on the market, but here you have a thicker version. If you are not new to this activity, then you surely know about the Exped MegaMat Duo Pad.
