The instructions say "allow up to 48 hours for the foam to return to normal size." How long did you actually have to wait?

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.

If you live a a warm climate it could take less time. 48 hours is just a rule of thumb.Don

At 24 hours they were not all done yet, yes, it took almost 48 hours for all to loosen up. Hope this was helpful.

We had it sitting for over 3 weeks and it never did. It stayed a hard square. Very disappointing, it's not a good product, don't buy it.

It might have been even another day. It took a while. The bean bag is huge! It takes about 3 weeks to get it to settle down into a seating position that is perfect (its shaped more like a large ball), but once you wash the cover and let it air out again its shaped like a ball again.

The smaller the sack, the less time needed for initial puffing up. It really helps if you shake and turn the sack over several times. 24 hours should be enough unless you have an extra large sack - you can tell when the sack looks full. Don't worry too much about it. It does need periodic re-fluffing - actually a good stress relieving activity ;)

I waited 72 hrs and insured that everything was as dry as possible. I found other instructions that said as little as 8-24 hours, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't trapping uncured material under a paint designed to seal moisture and not breathe. BTW it worked and I have had no problems since.

If given enough time, after the initial few days to let the foam recover it's original form, it inflates fully. Use your mouth and lungs and blow two full breaths in and you'll be fine.

I had the same problem until I read the instructions again. You have to soak the bubble wall section in water for 15 minutes or so before turning on the air pump for the bubbles. This lets the material swell up enough for air to escape.

I recommend washing with water, a sponge and a little bit of soap. Do not use chemicals like Lysol, it will deteriorate the foam.

From what I have heard, it is important to allow your memory foam mattress to fully expand over 2 or 3 days before you even sit on it. Supposedly putting weight on it too soon can crush cells inside the mattress so that it breaks down sooner, although it might not be evident for over a couple years. We set ours up, closed the door and didn't even put a hand on it for 72 hours. It still is wonderful after about five or six months - so far.

I don't know. I have an old mattress cause I can't stand the FOAM for the same reason. But u can buy and try it for a few weeks n return it (less than 30 days) I returned mine and had to pay restock fee after 30 days. I found it bigger than my King mattress, too soft, n overpriced for the quality. A Better option is DOWN/FEATHER keeps u warm in winter n cool, in summer. Hope this helps.

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.

It depends on how much it needs to get back up to 100%. I wasn't really timing it, because I was busy doing other things. One reviewer said about 15 minutes, and thatmay be about right.

Mine took about 24 hours although the recommended time is 48 hours I believe and you should probably follown that.

It took few minutes to expand but it took a good 48 hours for it to feel complete and firm. My husband has a bad back so he likes firm mattresses so this has been great for him. Personally for me, I had to put my mattress topper for it to be comfy for my preference.

I used mine just a few hours after I received it. It didn't take long for mine to expand at all.

I believe you should apply the adhesive on clean, dry surface and let it cure for 24 hours before putting your inflatable back to water.

It took mine 24 hours to completely open up Buts its Usable Within Minutes. Its Compressed Because Mattresses Are Large..thus Costly To Ship

I would say about 2 or 3 hours if that long. I put it in before I go to bed.

It is vacuum packed so it's pretty small. But, as advertised, it sprung back to its full shape within 48 hours.

Mine took a good six hour to expand to normal size. Memory foam is memory foam. Our memory foam mattress took many hours to become useable. The better the foam the longer it takes.
