how long does it take to expand to it's full size once removed from the packaging?

It appears to expand to it's full size almost immediately, but the foam still needs time to settle and regain it's form which will take approximately 48 hours.

48 hours to fully expand. It initially expands fairly fast but a good 48 hours to completely expand

it seems to go pretty fast, 10 minutes would be about 90-95% expanded I'd say

It takes about 4-6 hours from my experience. Best to do it overnight if you can.

It wasn't very big - I think it was like a bubble wrapped package.. maybe foot by a bit less than a foot? I can't remember for sure, it's been a couple months since I bought it.

It fully expands to the dimensions in sellers description. Have had for about 12 weeks and satisfied.

The instructions said to allow 48 hours but as soon as I unrolled it and gave it like 10 minutes, it was already 9 inches high. I left it for about 36 hours and it was great after that.

About 2.5 feet long and 10 inch by i0 inch. After you open it though it will never fit back into that size.

No, It will last longer than that after opening. I wouldn't push it more than a week though.

As others have said, it is folded and looks like the innermost package was a kind of shrink wrap / heat compression wrap. That package is in another plastic bag, which in turn is in the box (which does arrive like it's bursting at the seams). Mine expanded pretty much as soon as I unwrapped it... and I'd suggest not doing that until you have it in the room where it will be used or allowed to air out for the 96 hour period. Once opened, it is much more difficult to move this thing around without it picking up carpet fibers and other dirt (the thing is a dirt magnet).

Compressed rolled up an in rectangular shaped box. Basically open plastic roll it out let it expand before using mine only took a few hours to expand fully, opened in the afternoon and used that night.

According to my basic owners manual (a full-size one is available as PDF) it's one year on parts AND labor. If you buy it with certain credit cards, you can automatically extend it (or double it); check your particular card services.

We took ours out of the bag and let it expand for about 24 hours. Then we fluffed it in the dryer for maybe 2030 minutes and it's been great ever subce no problems and it's not lumpy

I think it took maybe an hour to reach its normal size when I unrolled it. You can sleep on it right away. You will be glad you did. This is the most amazing item my wife and I have ever purchased. We never want to get out of bed.

it comes in a box folded up when you open it, it will expand to size. and yes, after it expands to full size you can roll it back up but it will not be easy. you will need help 2 people

It can be disassembled (as it must be assembled when it first arrives), but not terribly quickly; I'd say it would be 15 minutes to 30 minutes to disassemble to a compact form.

It took me about 45 minutes. I did it in the garage and allowed lots of space to spread things out.

Mine reached full expansion of 12" in somewhere between 4 and 8 hours. I wasn't watching!

It is amazing how compact the mattress is when shipped. I am not sure the actual package size will be of the queen size, but the package I got of a twin XL size was about 15"x15"x 18". It took about six hours to fully expand to its full size. There was no odor problem detected, and none since I have had it, going on six months.
