Should I wait for 48 hours to lay on it so it can fully decompress?

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.

I used it the same night it was opened. It seemed to only take seconds to expand to the full size.

It depends on the temperture in room as to how fast it decompresses. Sometimes I have used same day. I do like the value and quality. Am getting to order to California twins for a remodel project we are starting soon. Hope you enjoy yours

Mine was ok after about 8 hours. It looked to be fully decompressed by then but I also just purchased mine as a guest bed so it wasn't slept on for a few days anyway.

You can lay on it as it decompress it won't effect it but you can feel it decompress it feels weird. My bed only went 6" in 3 months so they let me keep the old and resent another and the 2nd took 1hr to fully decompress but it had a stain so I donated both Bed and they have a refund but when you sit on the bed if its on box spring you can feel the box spring 8" is to thin. My neighbor i donated the bed to used a frame that has mounts in the middle thats portable and he loves it. But with a box spring you can feel the box spring even at 8".

I had no problems laying on it just a couple hours after I unboxed it. I don't see any issues with doing so, not really any way you could damage it that way. It decompresses very quickly, and mine was a king size.

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

It deflates in about 10-15 mins, to deflate quicker you can press it & fold it & roll it up. Roll the bed from the bottom, away from the air vent release & it will deflate quicker & fold nice & flat to store in the bag it came with.

I don't think it will matter if it stays compressed for a few weeks. It is vacuum packed, so as soon as you cut it open, it fills with air and opens up. I think you are fine for a good while!Just my opinion

It ships rolled and compressed in a pretty big box which weighs at least 75lbs. You should probably wait at least 24 hours before sleeping on the mattress.

Store the pillow in your freezer for 4 hours before you use it and put it back in the freezer when it isn't being used so that it will be ready the next time you need it. The best recommendation is to buy two and swap them so you'll always have a cold one ready.

I usually just let it sit with the plug pulled out, it takes about an hour. It doesn't fully deflate so you have to step on it. I don't have to deflate it usually so this doesn't bother me. :)

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

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.

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.

You should be all set to sleep on the mattress after 24 hours. My son didn't even wait the full 24 and has not had an issue with it.

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.

Only way (I think) you will decompress will be vacuum seal it again. It's filled out, does not take that long.

No you do not have to wait 48 hours to use it. I used it the same night I got it in. I let it expand for a few hours, and it worked great. Hope this solves your problem.----Barbara

I let mine sit flat for about a day and half and then it was fine. It can take a little longer though if it has been boxed for a long time.

It's kind of a pain since you need to blow up each of the 6 chambers separately, and then you'll probably want to try manipulating the air pressure in each chamber for comfort. Dunno, maybe 10-15 minutes to get comfortable? It's also a pain to deflate. Certainly, my Thermarest is much better, but is also several times the price... I use the Stansport as a backup/spare.

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.
