Could the mattress remain compressed for 1 month before unwrapping?

You would probably have to ask the manufacturer but I imagine they stay compressed for longer than that before shipping. They are wrapped in air tight plastic so as long as the seal isn't broken I would think it would be OK.

I think it can - it seems like this is how its packaged to ship..no telling how long its been wrapped up. It sat for a week before I unrolled it & it poofed right up.

No, once the mattress is fully decompressed it cannot be folded back down to the original shipping size.

Yes! Once I opened my mattress I put it right on my frame and since then it bends and unbends without a problem!

I think it depends on the width of the mattress, but I cannot say that I can do it easily, especially after I washed the cover. It does not fit the mattress perfectly if I don't spend time on stretching 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.

The mattress is solid memory foam so technically yes. The reality though IMO is that a typical person would not have access to the tools necessary to cut this material without turning it into a wacked out mess.

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.

only a guess since I tossed the box -- but I'll bet you can (like down sleeping bags compress to fit back into their stuff bags). An extra pair of hands will probably help.

it cannot be compressed, it has a semi hard plastic lining on inside to preserve shape

My experience (using the mattress full-time) is that it won't explode, but if you apply too much pressure (or too heavy a person sleeping on it) for too long, the internal gussets will break loose, causing a bulge which is impossible to sleep on.

We've left ours inflated since we got it in early April - 2 months ago. It became a little softer, but I think that's because it's new and hasn't been inflated before, all the little wrinkles are smoothed out by the air now. It seems just fine, but we use it only once in a while maybe once a week, not every night. I don't think it is meant to be used daily like a regular mattress.

Personally I would not try this. I had difficulty encasing the mattress and the zipper ripped. Now knowing how fragile the cover is I don't think it is a good idea to try to stretch it over a box spring .

No it cannot. It is completely stitched together. I just ordered a new one after having this one for about 9 months or so, but I lay on mine almost daily..:o) Good Luck.

Just use mattress pad on top whether padded or quilted ,no need to zip it up make sure its covered with the pad fully.

I am not sure but I had a thinner foam mattress and it crushed in so it became uncomfortable. This one is much thicker and is much more comfortable than the thinner one. It has not even compressed a little bit. I am very happy with my purchase. hope this helps you

As I've only had the futon for a month, I can't really answer that. The center of the mat, where I spend most of the time is compressing a little but, it is still retaining most of it's volume. As with everything, time will tell.

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.
