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.

Why does your nose get stuffy when you get in bed?
There could be many factors involved, but a couple come to mind. It could be that the mattress has dust mites and you have an allergy to them and their feces. A good vacuuming of the mattress could help, clean bed sheets or lastly a new mattress might do the trick. Another factor could be within your own body, that your nose gets stuffy because you are in a lying down position. Does your nose get stuffy when you are lying down in about the same posture but not in bed? If you only get stuffy when lying in bed, deal with the bedding or the mattress. If you get stuffy when just lying down, then there is something going on with your own body.
