Yes, you can, but it is recommended to air it out and let it sit for a few hours to allow it to fully expand to its optimal state before use.
Ready to use, but requires time to reach its best condition
While a newly purchased compressed mattress can be used immediately, it needs a little time to return to its optimal shape. Typically, it takes just a few hours to fully expand. During this waiting period, you can open a window for ventilation and gently pat the mattress a few times to help accelerate the recovery process.
Why is there a waiting period?
New compressed mattresses are often subjected to high-pressure compression to reduce costs and facilitate shipping. This causes the foam and filling materials to become tightly compressed, making the mattress appear very thin upon arrival. Once the packaging is opened, the foam begins to rebound and return to its original shape. Allowing it to sit ensures the materials fully expand to their optimal state, providing maximum comfort and support.
It is worth noting that using the mattress immediately could cause it to become deformed or uneven during the recovery process, which negatively impacts both its lifespan and comfort.
What should I keep in mind?
When preparing to use your new compressed mattress, please consider the following:
During the waiting period, do not place the mattress in a damp area or expose it to direct sunlight.
Do not place other pads, blankets, or sheets on the mattress before it has fully recovered.
You can gently pat the mattress or walk on it briefly during the waiting period to encourage airflow.
If you notice an unusual odor coming from the mattress during this time, do not be alarmed; this is perfectly normal, and the smell will dissipate quickly once the recovery period is over.
