Do I need to open the box and let the mattress expand immediately....I don't think I can move the box up to the bedroom by myself.

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.

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.

The bed is folded/squished when it arrives. You have to unfold it and it will expand to full size within a few hours. When I saw the box I thought for sure it was a mistake and they had shipped a small-size bed... but it was correct. It is perfect.

If you don't have a "dolley" to place it on so you can wheel it in, not to worry. Use leverage to move this box....stand it up and walk it...stand behind it and move one side of the box forward then the other. You'll get it to where you want it without breaking the back. And once assembled, walk it the same way to where you want it. But what really is handy is after you've assembled it and it's still laying down, place those "move thingies" that you can get at Home Depot, Lowe's or even here at Amazon...they stick to the bottom and then you can just push it along like it weighs a feather. Hope this helps. If you don't have a "dolley" to place it on so you can wheel it in, not to worry.

If you don't have a box or slat underneath the mattress, don't ever jump onto the bed and it won't feel as sturdy. It feels much better with something underneath it.

48 hours or so to expand. Additionally, there's a smell from the foam that disappears. Its recommended that you buy a mattress protector.

You don't have to, but when I bought this, I purchased a ladder separately. It was about $40 and made by the same company. The ladder came with metal hooks that hook over the edge near the bottom of the mattress. I think you could attach it with screws, but we didn't. We move it back and forth. You could also climb up onto the bed from either end, but we have one end against a wall and the other is not very accessible as well.

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 will recommend you put the new mattress on top the regular box without any other mattress underneath the new one.

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

I would definitely recommend opening it in the room you want the bed to be in. Once you break the seal it starts opening real fast and with lots of force. Almost like an inflatable raft. After that it is very heavy and cumbersome to move as there are no handles or holds.

You will need to support your mattress, with either box springs, or a box. A box looks like a box spring, but it is no more than a spacer / mattress support ...

No it is basically a 12 inch foam mattress that you take out of the box, it opens up/folds open. You then lay it on either a box mattress frame or at first just put it on the floor until we found a frame that work. It really is a great mattress for the money andwe get a great night sleep! Cheers from Idaho!

The mattress expands. Once you take it out of the box you will see that the mattress is vacuum packed...it takes 24 hours to air out and get to the specified dimensions

I think so. Take it off the boxes. The frame is collapsible, so is the mattress.
