Both mattress' are good depending on the situation. Air mattress' are heavy, require a pump, and can puncture, but are extremely comfortable. Foam mattress' roll up and are light weight, not as much support as the first choice, but still better than sleeping on the ground.

How does a self inflating mattress inflate?
Self inflating camping mattresses are filled with open cell foam. Open cell means the air in the bubbles is not permanently trapped but can be pushed in and out of the bubbles. This foam is made from a flexible and durable plastic with a strong "memory" so that it tries to return to the same shape after pressure is removed. When the mattresses air vents are opened on a deflated mattress, the pressure of the foam trying to revert to its expanded shape pulls air in to the mattress. The vents are then closed and the trapped air inside the mattress provides support for people lying on the mattress.

How does a self inflating camp mattress inflate itself?
The self-inflating ones are inflated by opening a valve which leads to an air bag that has a piece of foam inside it. With the open valve, the foam is able to suck air into itself so it can go back to its normal size. Air is also sucked into the other areas of the air bag. When the valve is close and you lay on the mattress, the air tries to escape the foam but it can't. This makes it just like an air mattress or sleeping on foam. To deflate it you open the valve and start rolling it up from the other end. This squashes the foam and all the air can escape through the open valve.
