Ok bought them off ebay and going camping on Monday. They inflate to about 2cm but should be 5cm. No punctures so whats wrong, tried a pump but didn't really help!!!

The first time you use them they should be left to expand overnight. Then they are quicker.

You do also need to give them a few good blows the first time - and be careful not to let the air back out.

I did that with the extra breath but they really are not inflating They inflate in the corners but there are parts that are still almost flat.
