Don't need too but it will be helpful to avoid little discomfort I used mine as soon as I got it but kinda wish I let it straighten out for a couple of days.

I spread it out, flipped it over for a while and re-flipped to let the cushion stretch and air. doesn't hurt to do this once or twice a week, stops gullys in the mattress.

No, it flattens immediately, but do cover it with plastic. If you get it wet it soaks through.

We just put it right on the bed and used it a few hours later. There were no instructions that said to let it lay flat, so we didn't. Still working well!

Hi Dennis, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Premium Guard Gel Mattress Overlay. It is not necessary to allow it to lay flat before using however, it wouldn't hurt to allow it to straighten out and settle before using.

I leave mine out for a few hours (2-3). Not sure if that is the recommended but it works for me.

The directions say to leave it out in direct sunlight for an hour to refresh it. I would suggest it be on a very warm day and probably for longer than an hour. I don't get a lot of direct sunlight, so when I left it out I didn't notice a lot of difference.

You should let it sit for 20 minutes before pressing the pieces together. It will go from a thick liquid to very tacky during that time. Be careful to get the alignment of the pieces right the first time because it's difficult to get them apart after they've been pressed together.

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.

I have left it in overnight, sometimes a day or two. It sorta squishes down & is a lot thinner than you want it to be. Also depends on what you eat, corn chips etc make it come out too...

I think you could leave it there, but it is not good quality. Mine has a bare spot after the first day.

I would think it's not advisable to lay it down. I would call the factory, & they may tell you it's OK. never know until you ask!

Thaw it out use it. I think it would be ruined if left at room temperature for any length of time. It should be fine

Get it wet again with really hot water and lay it on a flat surface. Lay it on its working surface and not the feet

It can be left out safely for 2-3 hours but used promptly after. Since it is in a powder there is no real reason to resonstitue it and not use it. I personally only reconstitute it when I need it so I don't have a waste issue. I hope this helps.

This is perfectly acceptable - just make sure it is laid down on the correct side. The box is clearly labeled as to which side it is OK to lay down on.

I used it as a leave in. If I am not mistaking the directions on it tells you to leave it for about 10-15 min. Personally when I do it I leave it for a lot longer.

Well, it lays flat when empty probably not too much space, you could fold it in half and/or mash it down, its just rubber like stuff

Are you referring to laying on the heating pad, I can tell you that is how I use this heating pad for my application. I haven't encountered any problems by doing so. I only use it for a 10-15 minute period of time.

Put it pn 2 hours before wrap area in plastic wrap. Then the area is good for 2 to 3 hours dependibg on how hard the artist whipes the area

I wouldn't recommend leaving it out for long periods of time, maybe no more then a week. If I know that the kids aren't going to be on it I'll roll it up right after they're done to keep from being lazy about doing it that works for me!
