Can I unroll and let a new mattress start to decompress without taking it out of the plastic wrapping yet? (lemmy.world)

2-3 hours. If you really want to limit exposure to the room, and assuming it doesn’t smell super strongly, you could probably put the cover on right away and let the mattress decompress inside of it. You want to avoid putting anything weighty on it but the covers are light. I doubt the cover will be vacuum tight but you could check a few times to make sure it has enough air to keep expanding.

    I got everything setup and I left on the loose plastic covering (obviously had to remove all the tight packed plastic holding it ina roll) on but made sure it has plenty of slack and poked a hole in it like suggested

    Theres a protective cover coming tomorrow so I'm just going to give it the night to decompress and ill put the cover on when it arrives. Excited, just have to pick out a duvet and cover now so I have blankets, I got the sheets today with the bed and frame so tomorrows the word and just have to get duvet/cover
