Can you sleep on it right away, even if its not fully expanded?

It takes a few days. I would NEVER buy another LUCID mattress though. Mine from March 2013 started cracking in the gel foam on top - the edge lost firmness and you roll off. No support after a few months. LUCID refused to honor 25 year warranty after requesting pictures of cracked foam. LINEN SPA was no help either. Let me know if you want to see the correspondence. I'm gonna find a more reputable company.

We waited about 6-8 hours before sleeping on ours. Seemed to be fine. Hope this helps

I Was Amazed How Fast This Mattress Expanded! It Was Not Delivered Until 6:30pm But Was Almost Fully Expanded Within One Hour. Was Able To Sleep On It The Same Night. I've Had It For More Than Four Months And Just Love It!

I'm not an expert so I dont know if it does damage to the mattress. I would say no simply because the mattress needs time to expand and for the chemical odor to abate

Yes that is what I did. There wasn't an odor but the mattress was a little crooked because it hadn't fully expanded.

It only takes a few hours to expand, but you could. It does havea strong smell from the paix packaging for 2 hours though. It's a great mattress though you won't regret it.

No, you'll have to find a way to dispose of your old mattress yourself. Also, the setup is quite easy, if you have a helper. Once you place the mattress and take off the wrap, it will fill with air, and after a few hours you can sleep on it.

No it can not the bottom is basically a springboard so its more of a hard wood bottom. So I wouldn't recommend sleeping on that side, but the bed is incredibly soft and supportive with the compact springs. So if you looking to save room on a bed, this is the right bed. Hopefully that helps you.

Not true in my experience. You should inflate it when you first get it and leave it that way until you need to pack it for your trip. This is true with most sleeping pads.

once the bed is opened it doesn't roll back up after it expands. I don't think it's a good option if your planning to store it nightly.

No, just open the valves and it self inflates due the enclosed open cell foam. Simply close the valves prior to sleeping on it.

Almost fully expanded in a few minutes but manufacturer recommends allowing 24 hours before actually laying on and using.

I think it might be too uncomfortable to sleep on for a month. It doesn't provide that much cushioning, and was a little stiff. Maybe if you put a foam topper or something over it, it might be okay, but just by itself might be kind of pushing it.

You could, but do you plan to sleep on it? Honestly, it's not comfortable at all. Worst purchase I ever made.

I'm sorry for the delay, I have not tried to inflate the bed while lying on it. I will say that I slept on it for nine days and enjoyed it every night. It's a little loud late at night, but it inflates very fast. You will not roll off the edge and the middle does not sink. I would buy another if I needed one.

All depends on the person sleeping on it. To me it is very comfortable and has plenty of room.

you need to put something down first. You will need a futon cushion, and then it might be a pain in the ass to attatch the sleep pad to the cushion. The topper isn't thick enough and you'll feel the bars.

The mattress expanded quickly. Within just a few hours it had expanded to 9". I just remeasured it and it is 10". I would recommend leaving it totally uncovered for a couple days for it to air out. I put sheets on it too soon and it seemed to keep the odor in longer. I did sleep on it within 2 days. Hope it works well for you.

It expands once it is unpacked, within 1-2 days Do not send it back until u have allowed it to expand

Yes. It's not very big and folds out easily for a single person to sleep on it.

Yes, you probably could but in our experience, the thicker the pad the better otherwise the central support bar can be annoying. One person can indeed sleep on this but not in the center unless you have a very thick pad. I have sat on it, napped on it without having any feeling like it was going to tip over. Kids can crawl on it without any risk of it tipping over but the steel support beams could hurt them if they fall on it. Again, well padded mattress (or good air mattress) solves this problem. though some air mattresses will slide around when no one is on it holding it in place.

You could but I don't know how comfortable it would be if you rolled over. I sometimes lie on it in bed before I go to sleep and then move it.
