worried about laying Geo Spring on side when picking up at store? G E Says can lay it down.

I would let the unit stand up right for a couple hours before power it up due to the freon oil in the compressor. Just like the refrigerator, we want the oil to completely drain to the bottom of the compressor.

Since it has a compressor - like a refrigerator does, it needs to stand up for several hours before powering up to ensure that all the compression fluid has time to drain back to the proper location. I had to transport mine on its side for 3 hours, but let it stand overnight before installing. No problems!

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.

Laying on its side for transportation is no problem; I wouldn't stack anything else on top of it, though.

Not if you lay it snap side up when closed or do not try to tuck it under when propped open

Yes! I do that all the time. I agree that laying it over you wouldn't work very well.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

No, infact, I had it on the ground for a few days. Then I bought a raised platform bed. The bed needs a very solid support foundation and most people tend to have a box spring on hand from a previous bed. I say it's all up to you.

Mine is still rolled up too. Can't imagine it causing any harm. It's only foam, no springs to worry about.

The unit only has legs at the bottom. But, I don't assume it would hurt anything if it was laid on its side. I would not lay it on its back since that's where the exit vents are located.

Should be all right horizontally..... but gravity does make it easier to shut in the upright position.

slide the metal pieces between the box spring and mattress, then secure to the opposite side of the bed. It'll be fine

it will spring backed up. I wouldn't advise letting go, you just hold it and I'll just raise by itself because of the spring on top, but it won't go back into the holder, you have to put it back in the holder yourself, but that's no big deal

I have not had any problem with it being in the way. It folds straight up and down.

Mine has a sticker on it saying "this side up". It's rough side up, apparently. The bigger question is: how do you get this rolled up thing to lay flat?!

Decline position is scary. The pin does come out occasionally due to the wobble of the main bench. I just double check every time I use it.

It contains a sealed liquid battery; while it should not be a problem to lay it on its side for a short time, it's probably better for the long term to keep it upright. If you're using this in a rack, you may want to find a rack-mount solution.

The only way to find out is to go to a store that carries them and have them set it at their highest setting and see if he can use it without leaning over. That takes out the guesswork.

I would advise against using it this way. It will most likely sag in the middle.

As in, laying flat on it's back? I can't think of why you would but don't see why you couldn't. Make sure the unit drafts properly and it should be fine.
