Rolled mattress – is it worth the risk?

Are rolled mattresses a good choice?

Rolled mattresses, despite their lower shipping costs and convenience, are generally not the best option. The rolling process involves high-pressure compression that can permanently damage the foam structure, causing quicker wear and reduced sleep comfort.

Why does a rolled mattress need to rest for 72 hours?

It's recommended to let a rolled mattress rest for 72 hours after unpacking. This allows the foam to fully expand and regain its original structure and resilience after being compressed. Without this recovery period, the mattress might not provide adequate comfort and support, even if it appears visually ready.

What happens to foam when a mattress is rolled?

Rolling the mattress subjects the foam to intense pressure, significantly compressing it. This can cause irreversible damage to the foam?s internal structure, leading to impaired flexibility, durability, and potentially resulting in moisture retention issues.

How does rolling affect mattress springs?

Rolling affects not just the foam but also any springs or coconut layers in the mattress. Compression can deform these components, affecting their performance, durability, and ability to offer proper support, ultimately shortening the mattress's lifespan.

Why should a rolled mattress lay flat before use?

After unpacking a rolled mattress, although it may appear to have regained its shape, the foam still needs time to fully recover from compression. Allowing the mattress to rest for at least 72 hours ensures optimal structural integrity, comfort, and proper body support.
