is it ok to prop the mattress upright while it expands?

I don't think it would be too much of a problem but we were pretty careful about putting it in an extra room on the floor spread out and leaving the window open to let it air out and expand as much as physically possible. We gave it a few days to make sure it was good to go. If you don't have enough room to do that, then I would continue flipping it on each side upright so that it doesn't unevenly expand.

I don't think it will affect the expansion as long as it has enough room, however it's not truly firm enough to free stand. It will end up curling over without some type of support.

That is the way memory foam is. Just let the mattresses sit awhile and they will unfold and puff up.

I have only used it on the side temporarily(when I first installed it). I use it upright 100% of the time.

Mine came to me all wrapped tight & expanded big time when I opened it & put it on the bed. I have a double. I can reposition it pretty easy on my bed so I imagine you could fold it up & put some kind of restraint to keep it that way. Or maybe you could stuff it in a space bag & vacuum the air out. Good luck.

It takes time to expand but it does get firmer after a few hours. I made the mistake of resting while it was expanding and I woke up with some back pain, not sure if it was because it was still expanding but I recommend letting it finish first. I've had it for about 5 months now and its still firm yet comfortable.

My wife and I have had our mattresses for over a year and are well satisfied. I have to sleep with my head elevated and the constant up and down action hasn't caused any deformation. I find mine to be very comfortable, but my wife would like to have hers a bit harder.

No. My floors are a little uneven and the frames hinges seem to have allowed to to adjust adequately. With a mattress on top I don't notice any uneveness. Worst case is that you could put some pieces of wood underneath feet as needed to level.

You have to leave it on but the sound of the maintenance is far below the inflation.Only problem I found was the mattress tended to over inflate and loose that nice shape they have in all the pictures.I am somewhat heavier than a lot of people and mine also tore around one of the dimples.

You're not supposed to do that because of a SIDS risk, BUT I've heard of people putting it under the fitted sheet and propping the infant up that way. Hope this helps and Good luck :)

Gregory, when I opened my mattress, it began expanding immediately. I opened mine before leaving on a two-day trip; when I got back, it was ready to go. I do the recommended rotation every two weeks and am pleased with the mattress quality and comfort thus far. Hope all works out well for you.

I would think so. I use mine on low, and it comes with timer so you would leave it just as long as you like. I would put a mattress pad on the air mattress first.

You can place the mattress right on top. Mine is still holding steady!!! still love it

Mine is still rolled up too. Can't imagine it causing any harm. It's only foam, no springs to worry about.

Yes. It will sit upright just fine. Applies a bunch of pressure though. At least to my back.

Hello Pam, im not clear what you mean by this...if you mean if you can use both sides, the answer is no; if you mean just flipping when you are trying to move it, yes but it is a heavy mattress. it comes squeezed and you might think it is a small mattress. It expands amazingly and it is rather heavy. Hope i answer your question.

No, once it is expanded, it is just like a regular mattress. Such a comfortable bed ;-)

No it is a flat mattress. One would have to obtain a bedframe that would raise or lower.
