What are the instructions for decompression? Our mattress never came with any. It doesn't seems to have filled out enough yet (after 24 hours).

I too would say 48 hours should do it. I was a bit worried about it at first, but then it came up perfectly.

I only let it decompress about 12 hours, and I slept on it that night as I didn't have another bed. It seemed to decompress further over the next few days while not used.

Only way (I think) you will decompress will be vacuum seal it again. It's filled out, does not take that long.

You know, that is really strange. Mine was fully expanded within the hour.I just cut open the plastic slowly and let it decompress. It was really quick. I'm afraid you may have a defective one. Also it has been pretty cold, that may have something to do with it. Yeah, ours had no scent at all ,I could'nt be happier. Let me know what happens, I was planning on purchasing another one. Good luck. Manuel

Mine had no odor that I noticed. It does need at least 24 hours to fully expand before sleeping on. I think the instructions say 48 hours, but that seemed too long to me. 24 hours was fine.

Hi this is super old so I don't know if you'll see it, but Phoenix over at Mattress Underground really knows his stuff about mattresses and what to do in this situation. He's got a great long standing forum that covers everything you've ever wanted to know and more about mattresses and toppers and materials. ( I know this sounds like I'm a paid shill, but I'm not... I swear. :) I've just had really good luck over there when I've had questions of this sort.)

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

We just let the mattress air out, with the cover on it, for about three days. That seemed to do the trick.

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.

All mattresses should be opened as soon as they are received to prevent any decompression issues that may take place from being packed for too long. Compressed mattresses have a shelf life and if they are left unopened too long after the manufacture date there is a chance of a decompression problem.

Memory foam needs to be opened and left to air for some time...I forget if its 12 or 24 hours...before you sleep on it. Really important!

I bought two of these in twin size for my boys. I let them air out for 24 hours, then started using them. However I also have a California king that did need the 48 hours to fill out.

I didn't get one either. I imagined you were able to remove it from the box and carefully cut open the vacuum sealed plastic wrap? I'm not sure if there is a "manual" but will venture to think that: #1 Keep mattress dry and clean, #2 No sharp objects on mattress, #3 Use mild soap/damp cloth to spot clean, #4 Avoid mattress pad warmers (even though I use one on very low heat) as they may damage or shorten the expected life of the gel/foam material. Otherwise, enjoy!

This product stays under the mattress....I have left mine inflated since purchase and I do inflate and deflate depending on my needs at the time....I have had no problems.....you get one of the product ...

You have to inflate this mattress by blowing air into it. The instructions say it takes about 20 strong breaths to inflate the mattress.

Does it matter? 1 or 3 minutes, still better than a manual pump. If your schedule is that tight and 2 minutes makes a difference, then maybe a fold out memory foam mattress is for you.

The ball should have come with a needle for inflation. You will need an air pump to fill the ball. Only fill the ball slightly. When you pull the needle out, it should self seal.if not send it back for s new one. .

My air tube popped out easy to blow it up. I use the air mattress pump now much easier and that might work if yours is defective. Or send it back.

The product is not defective, the foam will expand into its full potential in 24-48 hours maybe less. I thought the same myself and contacted the seller who advised me to allow the decompression to "wear off".
