Mattress just arrived in compact shipping box. Won't need it for another 2 mths, will anything be harmed if I keep it compressed in the box?

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

I stored one in my home in the box for about 1 month and it was just fine. It is wrapped in plastic and I would think that if you keep it in a dry environment it would be ok. Hope this helps.

It fills with air once you open it. Be prepared its not as thick as you are led to believe. I purchased a 6" firm foam which I put underneath. My bed is high but is it comfortable.

There is no way to compact this mattress. Most trunks are big enough to have the mattress down first.. Then load other items on top of it.

The mattress is not vacuum sealed but it does have a protective plastic bag so it's clean. It is not like some of the 'foam' mattresses that come all compressed where you have to let it uncompress--it's already ready to go. I agree with the other reviewer that the box is kind of big BUT it is not heavy; the bedroom I wanted the bed for is upstairs and I was able to get the box up the stairs by myself. We've been very happy with the bed.

I dont think it can be compressed again with household item. So yes, if you are on move, you probably need consider this as conventional mattress.

It is not shipped in it's carry bag. We found that if you leave it in the carry bag it retains a rolled shape and is compressed. We took it out of the carry bag to make sure we did not permanently damage it by leaving it in the carry bag. It would probably be ok to send it overseas compressed as long as it is not stored that way in my opinion.

When you open the wrapping, the mattress will begin to expand. In either case, expanded or still in the box, it will be easier to move with some help.

It's quite firm. I do not think it would be damaged as long as you didn't try to fold it in half.

Hi, I had the same question...looking at the seller's page it says "A: As long as the mattress is in its original box we offer a 30 day 100% money back guarentee. We will even pay your shipping back. Once the mattress is out of the original packaging we do not offer any returns." under the reviews in the lower left corner.

I don't thnk so. I believe the delivery is done through a delivery service so you will need to dispose of your current mattress, I imagine.

You can lay on it as it decompress it won't effect it but you can feel it decompress it feels weird. My bed only went 6" in 3 months so they let me keep the old and resent another and the 2nd took 1hr to fully decompress but it had a stain so I donated both Bed and they have a refund but when you sit on the bed if its on box spring you can feel the box spring 8" is to thin. My neighbor i donated the bed to used a frame that has mounts in the middle thats portable and he loves it. But with a box spring you can feel the box spring even at 8".

As long as you're strong enough to shake it out every week or so, I think it should make your mattress softer. Without shaking, it will probably compact pretty quickly.

Mine is packed away at the moment but I think Lumpy has it about right........it's definitely smaller than a queen and that is why I like it in my small tent.One tip.......do NOT sleep with your head at the release valve end, I did this and much of the air leaked out in the night and I found myself sleeping on the ground. We woke up at 2:30 am, re-inflated, flipped our sleeping bags and all is well again.It's a very comfortable mattress but I spent way too much time inflating it this time and I don't know why. I am thinking a pump will make it faster.

We will pack it by using bubble cushion and other stuffs to make it very firm and safe. So you don't need to worry about it.

I have purchased several of the mattress in a box and I'm always amazed at the size of the boxes. just checked the box and make sure it is labeled right and you should be good to go

We've left ours inflated since we got it in early April - 2 months ago. It became a little softer, but I think that's because it's new and hasn't been inflated before, all the little wrinkles are smoothed out by the air now. It seems just fine, but we use it only once in a while maybe once a week, not every night. I don't think it is meant to be used daily like a regular mattress.

This mattress is compressed and it will pop up to size out of the box. This mattress isn't rolled and it has springs/coils. :-)

The other answers are pretty good. I ordered a queen, which was compressed and shrink wrapped. Even so, the box was about the size of a two drawer file cabinet. When I released the shrink wrap, the foam expanded quite a bit.
