I folded the mattress pad back into the box for out of season storage and now I can't unfold it again. Has anyone else had this problem?

No. It was remained pliable for me for several months now. However, I have kept it folded in my bedroom at room temperature.

You can fold it in half and unfold it easily, but it would be VERY hard to roll it up again because of the springs. An air mattress that is higher off the ground with a built-in pump may be a better choice for you.

This foam mattress comes in a vacuum package. This should have been evident when you opened the original package. Unless you have the equipment to do a large scale vacuum package, forget about it. just double up the mattress and tie it tight. good luck.

Hmm, mine popped out fine but I have trouble getting one to fold back on now. Mines packed so I can't look at it now. I'm sorry.

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

It is not recommended to fold for long periods of time because the foam will not recover. Instead it should be stored flat on the mattress or rolled up and not folded.

It is strongly advised not to put sharp creases or folds in the pad. the heating elements feels like wires going vertically up and down inside the pad. The pad comes with safety pins you use to pin the pad flat on the mattress by the edges. if you have to tuck the excess padding under the mattress this should be okay as long as there aren't any sharp folds

I have not had trouble with that, but did as a precaution, cut some small maybe 4x4" squares of that closed cell blue foam roll like they have at Walmart for a 1/4" thick or so sleeping pad for a tent. That foam roll was too long for me being female anyway, so I didn't miss 4" off the end across it. I cut 6 of those one for each foot on the cot, and big enough for them not to slip out from under the "feet" of the cot. Don't know if that was necessary but love that tent and didn't want to take the chance. Hope this helps...

I've deflated the bed several times and had no problems. I put the bed back in the bag that was provided and store in a closet. Hope this helps.

The inside lining doesn't come out but I've washed it with a wet rag. I have washed the mattress pad in the washer and dried in the dryer on low heat. Came out fine.

The mattress is incredibly stiff the first few times. I'd recommend removing the mattress and then folding it up, then put the mattress on there and force it into place.

did you unfold it and let it sit for a couple of days? this helps to let it rise before you sleep on it....you can stand it in a closet if you are cramped for space

It happens to me all the time. You just click it back in place the way you want it (folded in, standing or flat out). It takes a little getting used to the way it folds and unfolds.

Had the same problem. Brought the pads in every night. Sorry. They look nice but are not great quality.

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

didn't have that problem. what I would do is contact who you got it from and ask for an exchange or refund.it might be just a default in that one. it did settle when the box spring and matters was added.

I don't think it would be wise to refold it. Rolling it gently would be better. We will be storing ours as a mattress topper on a bed and then removing it to use on the airbed when guests come. That way it won't compress again. BTW it has now expanded around 1/3 of the perimeter of the bed so I know it will eventually be 100%.
