How long can this mattress be left in the box? Purchased for a new home and the closing was delayed - concerned but have no place to put it.

It arrived by truck shipment compressed to about 2" thick and rolled up in a poly wrapped cylinder about 12 inches in diameter x about 7 feet long. We left it unopened for a couple of days until we could move out the old mattress and box springs and install the new plywood support boxes. When we placed the new foam mattress on the support and unrolled it and removed the poly jacket (it is vacuum sealed) it expanded to full thickness in a very short time. Only the manufacturer could tell you with authority how long it can remain unopened after delivery, but keep in mind the mattress is imported, and spent an indeterminate period sealed up and in a warehouse or in shipment. I personally would not hesitate to leave it unopened and still rolled up for a few weeks.

It's well packaged and sealed there should be no problem leaving it in the box

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.

I returned mine unopened. Found water damage to the bed frame, so could no longer use the mattress. Sorry to not be of help.

When you open the wrapping, the mattress will begin to expand. In either case, expanded or still in the box, it will be easier to move with some help.

No. It's delivered by UPS. Call a local Goodwill. They might come get your old mattress.

It comes in a rectangular, tall box all rolled up in a flattened condition. After I removed the heavy item from the box, I spent time rolling it over and over to remove the large amount of shrink wrap except for the last layer of the plastic. At this point, the mattress is still in a flattened condition. It's no longer rolled up, but with the normal length and width of a mattress. It takes maybe half an hour for the mattress to expand in height to a normal size.

I would not recommend this mattress. It is not going to hold up over time. We haven't had ours for a year yet and it's dented in some places, very uncomfortable. Was fantastic for about a month.

It takes a few days. I would NEVER buy another LUCID mattress though. Mine from March 2013 started cracking in the gel foam on top - the edge lost firmness and you roll off. No support after a few months. LUCID refused to honor 25 year warranty after requesting pictures of cracked foam. LINEN SPA was no help either. Let me know if you want to see the correspondence. I'm gonna find a more reputable company.

I was skeptical that a mattress and box spring folded in half and vacuumed packed could ever compare to my last , very expensive, store bought mattress. I was very upset that it had to be replaced. When I saw the small size of the two boxes with my new mattress and bi fold box spring; I was convinced I made a mistake. Less then fourty-five minutes later my new bed was made with fresh linens and the boxes were broke down in the bin. I had it finished before my kids arrived to help me set it up. The best part, I love my new bed; you would never know it arrived in 2 boxes a third of the size the set is.

This foam mattress comes in a vacuum package. This should have been evident when you opened the original package. Unless you have the equipment to do a large scale vacuum package, forget about it. just double up the mattress and tie it tight. good luck.

Right now mine is packed away but I can tell you that both my husband and my son have slept on it and neither one felt anything and they both have back issues. I think the mattress is at least 5 to 6" thick.

The mattress sits inside a small lip (about 1 inch deep). It wouldn't be quite long enough to accomodate an extra long mattress I wouldn't think unless you just want to put it on top of the lip.

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.

Are you asking about the mattress or the box spring? The mattress came in a box approx 15" square and about 3' high (I am going from memory so I may be a bit off), but it was super compressed. Once you release it from the packaging I doubt you would get it to compress again -- it will take up quite a bit of space even if you tightly roll it. The box spring came in a package about 5' high and 4' wide. It does fold up so you should be able to store in approximately the same amount of space. (Again from memory) Hope this was helpful.

I put it under the mattress cover AFTER it fully expanded. It took mine a full day to expand.

The mattress is great and I am sure it would be fine stretched out. I still have not tried to fold ours back into a couch, so I can tell you about that.

I eventually decided to dispose of the mattress instead of encasing it; the product is still in its original packaging, unused. I cannot answer your question
