I waited 24 hours and it never expanded. After I sent this one back I ordered a Milliard bed (almost exactly the same) and it expanded in 5 minutes and the princess loves it. It was also about $12 less

It expanded quite quickly. Did not have a problem with loose cover. It's loose enough to get off and wash. My dog had leg surgery and some back problems. As she became more ill in her last months this was her favorite place to lay. I gave her a small pillow to support her head and that seemed to help. I am very pleased with this product. I'm sure it gave Sugar much comfort. In fact, since she passed, I have not given it away. I am waiting to find someone else who needs it and will appreciate it as much as we did.

Mine was ready to go when it arrived. It was/is 4", and the cover was/is not loose. However, that was in June in the desert, so I have no idea what effect cold weather may have.

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

Better to get it bigger and trim to size than coming up short. Depending on your geographic location, cover really doesn't aid much in heating but does slow down the heat loss.

You should. I have a thicker cover on mine and it fits very nicely and s little room to spare. I am very happy with mine.

Mine came to me all wrapped tight & expanded big time when I opened it & put it on the bed. I have a double. I can reposition it pretty easy on my bed so I imagine you could fold it up & put some kind of restraint to keep it that way. Or maybe you could stuff it in a space bag & vacuum the air out. Good luck.

I had the opposite problem where the cover shrinked from weathering and didn't fit the grill. I had to buy a new cover. If you leave it out in the sun it will eventually shrink; however, you need to ensure that you buy the correct size cover in the first place. Check out the specifications for your grill and then match with the cover specifications.

Sounds like a manufacturing error, the one I got is quite solid and stable. One solution to that might be to insert a sleeve to tighten up the loose space or if you just purchased it see if you can get it replaced.You might have to improvise and create one from plastic or something similar. Teflon would be great.

No way to expand the cover. Mine worked very well. I still have an issue with the hole in the case not lining up with the wrist strap and eating away at the case.

Got any pictures? I remember feeling like I was stretching it a bit when I first installed it. It's also much easier in warmer weather. I could maybe help out more if I saw pictures and better understood the problem.

Mine became loose, as well. I carefully removed the gasket, then placed a rubber band on the lid. Lastly, I carefully placed the original gasket on top of the rubber band. It now has a tighter fit than when I first purchased it.

The cover fits BUT not properly.....you have to hold it down for it to work....

Ours was fully expanded within 3 or 4 hours, and we let it lay for about 6 before hoisting it onto the frame. We were pleasantly surprised. I can't venture a guess as to why yours hasn't. Maybe you should contact the manufacturer and ask for a solution. Good luck.

Mine does not fit snug, but there is no gap. You won't get the proper temperature if it doesn't fit right. There should be a rubber gasket on the edge of the lid.

not it all! maybe you are not pushing it strong enough. I have not had any problems, I really like the cover

dear D.Flowers...if your ends are curled up,that means the foam mattress ends did not spread apart..you may have to unzipper it and straighten it (it could be that during expanding process the cashmere top caught the foam mattress and it didn't unfold right )..to fully expand should only take 8hrs ......hopefully this will help you

that one was installed in one of my rentals.. I have a similar one in my kitchen, carefully squeeze the soft-flexible cover and you will see how it hooks in one long side and slips in the other long side. if it is cold it is probably less flexible. and if you are ever working with one that is old, they do become brittle w. age.

It still did not expand in the middle of the mattress to be even with the rest of the mattress, I haven't slept on it yet, was opened on Saturday 02/15/2014 and today is 02/18/2014 and still has not expanded to 7 inches in the middle, so I just wouldn't unless it was expanded all the way.

Yes. I haven't used the covers much, but I have them, and I checked one, and it seems very tight. Maybe even turn it upside down tight.
