Do I have to wait 48 hours to sleep on this mattress?

I had mine delivered 36 hours back ... it expanded to full size in an hour and there is no odour. The mattress is heavy after it expands. I had no problems as such with regards to inflating to the right size. i do notice the corners are not as sharp and depicted and happy with the quality of the white cover provided. Nevertheless a good buy ...

t has an odor (that is harmless) but annoying so we did wait for a few days. It is okay now.

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.

That is the suggested time to wait. I waited an hour, lol. As soon as you remove it from the packaging it starts to expand. It's actually really fun to watch. There is a smell that it has at first that eventually fades within a few days.

It recommended on the box to insure the full height explanation of the foam.

This mattress is great! I was hesitant buying it online, now I am happy I did. If you get it buy it well in advance of your bedroom set. You will need more than 3 days for the mattress to fully recover from the tight plastic bag it is shipped in. I had mine out on the floor for a week and at the end of the week when I placed the bed sheets, it looked big and lose around the corners. It turned out that the edges recover after a few weeks. Until then the sheets are a bit lose. Mine has fully recovered and now I am wrestling with putting on the sheets. Based on my experience, I would buy it again. Cheers!

Ours was inflated within less than 24 hrs. I bought the same mattress for my son and his wife for Christmas because they liked ours so much that we bought for the spare room and he said it inflated within less than 24 hrs and they love it.

I don't see why not. This topper is very, very firm and should support a foam mattress. Remember to lay this mattress out across some chairs, saw horses, or something similar for the shape to return. Try to position it so air can reach both sides. 48 hours is ideal. If you want the best mattress ever, buy the 5" extra-firm and buy the 3" firm to put on top. Heaven!!!

Bought it for my grandkids to spend the night but I enjoy a nap on it every day! don't think I'd want to sleep on it every night, though it would depend on what kind of mattress you bought for it.

Not at all, take it out of the package put it on the mattress zip it up and put a sheet on it and you are ready for sleep.

Mine was ok after about 8 hours. It looked to be fully decompressed by then but I also just purchased mine as a guest bed so it wasn't slept on for a few days anyway.

After 48hrs, mine is still at 15" with hallow and saggy corners and loose outer covering on 4 sides. I desperately want to sleep on it minus that 1 inch but i'm giving it another 24 hrs to fill up some more. The hallow corners makes me sad coz i don't know how it can fill up unless it rises another 2inches more at least.

At first, it is suggested not to exceed 20 minutes and gradually build up to 40 minutes. The directions don't give a recommended time but in regards to sleeping on it the directions read: it doesn't matter if your total time on the mat is more than 40 minutes. Just remove the mat when you wake up and go back to sleep.

That's not been my experience ..... I let mine self inflate for about 20 min or so then gave it a few lung fulls of air to finish the process (probably not something you'd want to do in freezing weather). While it is true that the longer you wait the more air will naturally migrate into the mattress, but you do reach a point where you get increasingly diminishing returns. Normally 10 to 20 min is plenty followed by some forced air input either by lung power or small pump to finish the inflation to your tastes of firmness.

I Was Amazed How Fast This Mattress Expanded! It Was Not Delivered Until 6:30pm But Was Almost Fully Expanded Within One Hour. Was Able To Sleep On It The Same Night. I've Had It For More Than Four Months And Just Love It!

Hello, It only took a few hours for it to "rise". I slept on the full size mattress 3-4 hours after I opened it, and it had no adverse "smell" that has been mentioned in other reviews. Hope this helps! : )

When you get the mattress, it does say to let it sit out for 48 hours to allow the mattress to fully expand before using it. I don't remember an odor, or it stating it needed to aired.

I don't think so. I put the foam on right away...only leaving it until that night to sleep on. The odor was slight..at least to me. I did not receive any instructions on waiting.

No, I slept on it a few hours after I put it on my bed. Worked like a charm!

The box is not small. Its about four feet tall and weighs over 100 lbs. Slept on the mattress 24 hrs after opening it. They recommend 4 days i believe but mine feels fine.

Because of the gasy smell you should wait overnight before using it. It comes to its full size a couple of hours after opening the package. Very comfortable. Good sleeping to you!
