I agree with Fermion, cut a small hole to let it expand. I would also crack a window, compressed mattresses can smell a bit chemically at first

Also, can I unroll and let it do its thing on its frame or should it be on the floor?
Cant see how it would matter, but it would be preferable for me to get the frame setup and ready now and then deal with the mattress tomorrow if the plastic has to come off and I need the protector or if the plastic wont affect it decompressing then I can just do it all today and then take off plastic+do the protector tomorrow
If you cut a corner off the bag that should let air in while still keeping dirt/dust off. Then you can cut the rest of the bag off tomorrow.
That said, what are you worried about getting on your mattress over a single night? Do you have pets that will be checking it out?
Well, Imma close the door to keep them out for now. I just really want it to be kept "pure" in case the old bed has anything...i dunno.
My old bed is super old and gross and I dont even use it for over a year. Its all catty and yeah, i just dont want any of it getting into the new mattress, whatever that could be. Will probably throw it out soon
Tricky last mile issue on this operatio bwahaha
