Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this mattress for the full-size frame in my guest bedroom. It was very easy to unpack (I am a 5”10” 150 lb, women use to doing things alone) and initially I put it on the floor to inflate. Within an hour, the mattress had inflated to 8”. I read many reviews, where the mattress only expanded to 9 – 9.5” after waiting the allotted time and I wanted the full 10”. So, for the next 2 hours approx. every 15 – 20 minutes, I gently tugged and stretched the cover to allow for more expansion. I could tell it was expanding because when I came back the ripples from me tugging and stretching the cover were gone. The next morning the mattress was a full 10” on all side however I continue to wait another 24 hours before I putting on the LUCID Encasement Mattress Protector and the frame for use. I wish I had some help with the encasement, it was a little tiring because the mattress gained a lot of weight once inflated. However, I got it on properly and was impressed. I had some reservation because the description stated the encasement fit “8-16” deep mattress and I purchased the 10” mattress. However, the “bottom elastic creates a smooth, secure fit” worked as designed. I thought it would be too big and baggy but it was not, it was a perfect fit. I am very happy with my purchase of both items and like the firmness of the mattress. I state it again, this mattress is firm. I am considering getting a king size for my bed. Some tips I took away from the other reviews: I waited the full 48 hours before using my mattress I turned on the ceiling fan in the room during the expansion period to provide good circulation of air in the room. I was careful not to bend the mattress in the middle when moving it to the frame And I didn't lay or sit on it during the expansion period.
