Nothing will convince you to stop your penny pinching ways like a few nights sleeping on a flat mattress on top of the cold hard ground.
Yep, self-inflating pads are a thing. You open the valve and wait, then fully inflate with a few final blows.
Generally speaking, those are heavier and larger though.
I have an exped that self inflates but lets be honest. Its faster to use forced air.

Is that a real thing? I have a Klymit Static and I have to air it up too. It's pretty easy but not self-inflating.
They basically have a compressed foam inside that expands itself when you open the valve. They're bigger, havier, and harder to recompress than these. I used to have a thermorest that self inflated, but prefer the manual ones.
I need to get rid of my self inflating pads. They're so bulky/heavy and don't fully inflate all the way anyway.
One must have with these air pads are having a pump sack though. I 3d printed some adapters so my different pads work with the same sack.
I wouldn't take this below ~65 degrees at night. It's R1.6, which means only useful for hot climates. No, your warmer sleeping bag won't keep you warm enough below your body. All the insulation is squished underneath you and therefore ineffective.

I've found the self inflating much easier. All you have to do is open the valve, walk away do whatever else you need to do and come back 5 or 10 minutes later and you are good to go.
Without a foam or fibrous interior an air-only mattress is much colder. Perhaps a good thing in summer but a definite no for cold weather.
To clarify for others, though, the higher-end lightweight air pads can also do okay in some colder temps due to having metal foil or other techniques besides foam or dense materials. They're very lightweight. And...you are lightweight (of heavy money) after buying ultralight backpacking gear.

Just to add to this, my sleeping pad just has one small 8"x5" brick of foam near the inflation valve. You "pump" on this foam to inflate the pad. So the air trapped in the foam goes into the sleeping pad as you decompress it, then when you release, air is pulled in through the valve into the foam. Repeat. I actually use my socked foot to do it as it takes 500 pumps, as you might imagine. I've timed it and it takes about 3mins. So, it's kinda in-between the two designs yall are discussing. Maybe best of both worlds? No manual blowing, but still small and lightweight?

Ain't that the truth! I had a well reviewed self inflating mattress from Amazon I took on a trip a few years ago. It leaked out within 2-3 hrs on the first night. Ruined my entire weekend. Immediately bought an exped megamat when I got home. Zero issues in the 5 years I've had it. Well worth the money.

Once you go hammock, you never go back

The lowest R-value on a thermarest air pad on their website is 3.1.
