Amazon says the bed arrived...

Need to get home and see if it's still there or if someone made off with a 80lb box...

When they say let it air out, they mean it. That foam can be UBER smelly for a few days before airing. I found it very difficult to sleep on it the same night so just keep that in mind for any/all of these out of the box mattresses.

^Thanks. I am planning on letting it inflate/air out on a tarp in the garage for the weekend. Hopefully it inflates fully and the smell dissipates.

Good luck trying to move it if you do that...those fuckers becomes heavy and unwieldy.

stogie1020

I kind of figured it would be a PITA to try to move, but I really had no other choice. there wasn't room to let in expand in the bedroom, and if I put it in the living room, the kiddo would assume it was a jumpy floppy thing and trash it... I will figure out to move it the once time I need to.

OTOH, if the one side never inflates past the current 9" (of a supposed 12") it will be a mute point, as Amazon will be coming to pick the thing up as a return. The center is 12" but one side is currently at 10" and one side at 9" after 18 hours...

Just grab the missus and jump in the middle and do the nasty...see if it doesn't displace the edges to proper height.

I even flipped it over for 12 hours, and one side is still only at 9 inches. This thing is going back to sender, me thinks...

How do they get heavier than they already are

Man.. it's not the first time someone's exaggerated sizing to you Also I doubt Amazon will take the return and just might let you keep it and refund you.

This is from the chat I had with Amazon CR rep (nice name, right?):

Don't be daft. It exzorbs air into the molecule holes of the mattress and makes it heavier.

stogie1020

Atomic mass, dude.... Atomic mass.

Shieett.. you plebes must be just using plain ol' oxygen in your households... I have a hydrogen pump attached to my HVAC so the air I"m breathing is super light...














I don't feel so good Mr. Spark..

That explains the lack of brain cells within your posting content within this forum.

Get what Stogie got, then you don't have to choose between 10 and 12. You get them both.

looks like an exact replica of the Casper


I really do like the green tea mattress still. My Nectar has been holding up well but i still have the green tea mattress in a guest room and it's still very comfortable for a fraction of the price.

Feels heavier because of weight displacement when unrolled.

Damn Stogie, sorry about that

stogie1020

No worries, I am going to call Amazon tomorrow and roll the dice with another one...

I am interested to see what they tell me to do with this first one.

stogie1020

Just chatted with Amazon. They are sending a replacement (will arrive Monday) and asked me to donate or dispose of the current mattress as I see fit.

Interestingly, they didn't even ask for a picture of the mattress with a tape measure showing its size or anything...

cu2wagon

Sweet! Now you have a lanai porch mattress!

Anachostic

Cut it up into dog beds.

stogie1020

I told my wife I was going to give her all 24 inches... She was not amused.

Sarlacc

Swap it out with a mattress in the guest room? If you have one.

cu2wagon

Put it in the garage and then charge hobos to sleep there. Recoup the cost of the mattress, plus you'd probably get free hobo soup.

thoiboi

You got that advice from somebody...

Not saying who.. but somebody...

cu2wagon

Yes. They had a business plan.

stogie1020

It's a king mattress, so no other place to put it. Plus, I feel like some shelter/charity needs it much more than I do. Once the new one arrives and is unfurled, I will call a charity to come pick it up.

The replacement bed arrived early, on Friday (instead of today), so it decompressed for two days and we tossed it on the bedframe last night. One corner still didn't expand fully (only about 9") but I said fugg it and we slept on it. It was very comfortable and the wifey liked it too.

Moving the old one out and the new one in (alone) was a total pain in the ass...

thoiboi

I mean.. he did warn you

"Amazed how small the package was and how quickly it expanded. I was a bit worried about some of the reviews regarding mold and not rising but mine seemed ok....Fast forward two days, the mattress fully inflated and my first thought was wow, this is comfortable so off to sleep we went. Around 3 AM my wife jumped out of bed screaming, thrashing wildly. In my daze, I asked her what was wrong, only to see a small bug crawl across my chest. I too then jumped out of bed to find my wife picking spiders, yes spiders, off her arms and legs; never again will I use a bed out of a box."

Mine spent two full days in the garage getting rid of any bugs...

What made it hard to move was it's inherent lack of structure, therefore nothing to grab onto. The old Simmons was heavier but easier to move since I could grab the pillowtop and the sides easily.
