I am concerned about the "air it out for at least 24 hours

It has a "new foam" smell for a few days, but after that I didn't notice. I don't think its harmful, it just stinks when straight out of the package.

It's no big deal. It only has a little smell from being sealed in plastic. Once you air it out, it's perfect.

Most memory foam you will usually want to let it set to air out but honestly it didn't bother me at all.

If properly maintained it should be fine. I would not leave it out 24/7. Hope this helps

Mine had a mild odor that went away in a couple of days...yes, it does air out after a few days!!

I would contact Air King directly and explain the situation. They should stand behind it.

I understand that it will take that long for it to stabilize fully from being compressed. We waited 2 days to be safe.

I set up my room (shut A/C down), set spray and immediately leave room, close door. Don't open for 10 hours at least. I didn't use masks; I wasn't in there long enough.... If you plan to, I'd use a mask & googles

There is nothing to close as far as I know. It is an air bed, so I expect it to lose some air.

This is my first time using a portable air conditioning unit, so I don't know what's normal for them. What I read from other reviews though it seems that some people only have to worry about it once a day or hardly at all. When I first got it I definitely wasn't emptying it three times a day, but I have been the past 3-5 days. I'm used to wall units where you don't have to worry about it. And apparently some portable units have the capability of actually taking the water bucket out and emptying it that way, but this one doesn't.

I too would say 48 hours should do it. I was a bit worried about it at first, but then it came up perfectly.

I pull it out of the plastic bag it comes in and let it breathe in the garage (sitting up inside the box it came in to keep it clean) and turn it over at least once a day for about 3-4 days. You can check it to see if it is acceptable at that time or let it breathe longer if needed. Enjoy.

No, you may be able to let air out while it is conected but not in a specific amount.

I found that it had a rather strong chemical smell for a few days. It would be best to air it out.

You can't use it right away as it takes a little time to come to proper shape. I would say it would be good though in about an hour or two. I let mine air out outside for a few hours.

I have used it and not waited 24 hours and it worked, but.. If you don't and it leaks then you're still in the same boat.

in my experience I haven't left it for more than 10hrs but for the 10hrs I left it was pretty stable sticking to the temperature. I see no reason why not for 24.

I let is fully inflate for the 48 hours based on a review I read from a molecular biologist. It needs the full 48 to stabilize.

Probably will last a few hours as most but don't count on it. It's very intense for the first few hours if there is no air movement in the space in which you deploy Liquid Ass. It may not last through the night but when it's deployed it will usually create a series of comical events that involves people bringing big fans and air purifiers into the space where Liquid Ass was unleashed, and often, the janitorial staff is called into action as well.
