Can I sleep on my new mattress right away?
All our mattresses can be used immediately, but keep in mind that a mattress that has been rolled packed only regains its shape and comfort after about 72 hours.
Your body also needs a couple of weeks to adjust to the new mattress.
Sometimes the mattress has a special smell when you open the package. The smell is not harmful or toxic and disappears after some time. If you air and vacuum the mattress, the smell will disappear faster.
