I've had my mattress out of the plastic for 25hrs now and only one end has decompressed or about &lt;5% of the mattress. How long does it take?

Ours was inflated within less than 24 hrs. I bought the same mattress for my son and his wife for Christmas because they liked ours so much that we bought for the spare room and he said it inflated within less than 24 hrs and they love it.

Got to be honest my inflatable SUP deflates as soon as you unscrew the ports but I would think the deflation should be faster than the inflation so for me that's less than 3 or 4 minutes.

I have been sleeping on an air mattress for years (I will never go back to a regular mattress). Some of them get holes (I have a cat), some have lasted only a month or two, I even got one that leaked when I got it. On average I have to replace a good mattress about once a year. This is one of the best I've seen, but I've only had it a couple of months, we'll see.

Mine fully recovered from plastic wrap in less than 24 hours so I think it depends on temperature and humidity how long it needs. I have only had mine a couple of months now but definitely no sagging so far, and I am pleasantly surprised with how comfortable this mattress is. I was convinced by reading other buyers reviews, and I completely agree with them.

If it is your first time trying to get it out, this is fairly normal. The plastic has not been stretched as much so it will be harder to take out. Start on the left side of the screen at the corners and push down on it to seep rate it from the case. It might take a little bit of work to get it out but just go for it. If you can't get it out and you have taken it out before I would suggest getting some tools to pry it out.

Go to a camping store and buy an air mattress repair kit. Takes about 20 minutes.

48 hours seems like a while. I punctured the vacuum seal at approx. 6pm Friday, and by 8am Saturday I had a HUGE cozy sack in my back room LOL. Make sure you open it where you intend to keep it. It's an absolute bear to fit through doorways.

No, we do not recommend taking the cover off and washing it. We only recommend spot cleaning the cover if there are any spills or if any dirt gets onto it. These mattresses typically take 48-72 hours to fully decompress, but they can take up to one week to fully decompress in some cases. You can sleep on the mattress during this time, sleeping on the mattress will not slow down the decompression process. If after this time, your mattress is not fully decompressed, please let us know and we will provide you with warranty claim information.

According to package directions, the foam should be aired out in a well ventilated area for 24 (or 48) hours before use. Over this time, the foam will decompress slowly. After the airing period, there should be no noticeable smell at all.

I bought two of these in twin size for my boys. I let them air out for 24 hours, then started using them. However I also have a California king that did need the 48 hours to fill out.

the plastic wrapping had a "plastic" smell but once off the mattress & allowing the mattress to air out, I did not notice a smell when I first used it.

The mattress is shipped as a tightly packaged cylinder (all the air is pressed out);it takes about 24 hours for the mattress to follow inflate after your release it from its package - so you should have no trouble getting the mattress up the stairs.

Be sure to lay it out on a flat surface for about 24 hours. It should flatten out ok. Mine was shipped in a box and the mattress was pretty much rolled in a ball. I honestly don't see how they got it like that but it was ok within 24 hours.

I slept on the mattress the same night I unpacked it. I was home around 5:30, unpacked it and it settled for a few hours. Slept on it that night and it was great!

All mattresses should be opened as soon as they are received to prevent any decompression issues that may take place from being packed for too long. Compressed mattresses have a shelf life and if they are left unopened too long after the manufacture date there is a chance of a decompression problem.

Dear B. Meek, Intex makes a great product, in my experience. I suppose once in a while you can get a lemon, as with anything.....I would contact Intex and let them know. If the mattress was jumped on, or abused by other than sleeping, they can tend to lose pressure. They are not meant to be an everyday mattress, but rather for occasional use, generally speaking. But they can last for months, at least 6, with regular use. A friend of mine has had one inflated for 4 YEARS, but it is rarely slept on and gently used.Please contact Intex and have them replace it, hopefully, as I have never seen a large bubble on any I have had. May be defective. But again, I think their products are well made. kk Dear B. Meek, Intex makes a great product, in my experience.
