I just got the mattress, how long before the mattress becomes damaged from the compression? I don't plan on using the mattress for another week.

You should be fine. The mattress is designed to be stored compressed. I would imagine that if it is stored for an extremely lengthy period, the time to achieve the real shape might be a little longer. It only took mine a couple of hours. I unpacked it the night I received it.

I noticed compression damage in about 3 weeks. Far earlier than I anticipated.

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

Mine was wrapped up for two weeks before I used it. I don't know how long you can actually keep it packaged.

mine was kept in its original box while we moved. it came out just fine. when you take it out of the box just give it an hour and you have a great mattress. i got it for my mom and she loves it. it really doesnt matter how long its in the box because thats how they are at the warehouse and that could be a long time. glad i could help, enjoy the mattress. sandy

No time at all. I just left it overnight so it could air out. But it took shape shortly after I opened the package. Great mattress

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the others. A 115 lbs person used the twin version of this mattress for about 3 years though she should have trashed it long before due to poor sleep. It developed a permanent depression in the middle. Curious, I pulled the thing apart before disposing it. The "cool" temperature of the mattress is achieved by fluted foam rows in the non memory foam section, which weaken over time - flattening. The memory foam layer lost it's bounce and flattened in the middle even worse. Maybe we just got a faulty unit, but I'd only consider this mattress for a child or guest room.

Sorry, I can't help with this question. Best bet would be to contact the manufacturer at the web site posted on their mattress care/warranty document included with the mattress. My best guess would be that it would harden if the interior of the RV gets below freezing; acting somewhat like gel packs placed in freezers.

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.

It appears you bought a defective mattress. Suggestion: Notify Amazon that you want a refund or a replacement.

We bought an inexpensive mattress that shipped compressed and inflated upon unpacking. It was for a temporary situation

I got mine at Overstock and it wasn't compressed at all. Came in a tall rectangular box and was wrapped in heavy clear plastic. I didn't have to let it sit for a day or two, just put it on and slept on it. High quality, not spongy at all. No motion when I move. I highly recommend it.

I suggest you get a thick cover to help protect the mattress. At first the nails of my dog didn't puncture my air bed (different model) but then he eventually did.

This mattress is compressed and it will pop up to size out of the box. This mattress isn't rolled and it has springs/coils. :-)

My experience (using the mattress full-time) is that it won't explode, but if you apply too much pressure (or too heavy a person sleeping on it) for too long, the internal gussets will break loose, causing a bulge which is impossible to sleep on.

This mattress is great! I was hesitant buying it online, now I am happy I did. If you get it buy it well in advance of your bedroom set. You will need more than 3 days for the mattress to fully recover from the tight plastic bag it is shipped in. I had mine out on the floor for a week and at the end of the week when I placed the bed sheets, it looked big and lose around the corners. It turned out that the edges recover after a few weeks. Until then the sheets are a bit lose. Mine has fully recovered and now I am wrestling with putting on the sheets. Based on my experience, I would buy it again. Cheers! This mattress is great!

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.

Hi kristine, it soften my extra firm mattress for 0-15 days later on i dont feel that much softness. Go for more thikness pillow top.

The mattress is pretty firm but the firmness lasts only maybe 5-6 months before it starts loosing that from the sides. I would suggest staying away from this.

My mattress is very firm, but it is now beginning to sink where my touchy is and I 've had it for about five months now. Also, I spoke with a someone who has been selling mattresses for years and she stated, "People either love Tempurpedic or they hate it." I will personally not buy any memory foam (mattress, pillows) anymore. DONE!
