Not only is this new foam mattress super comfy, but it\u2019s also fun to set up! Your mattress-in-a-box has been professionally compressed and vacuum packaged. This was done at the factory to allow for easy shipping and handling. Just follow these simple steps to unpack mattress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Lay the Box on the Floor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/mattresses?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=bibsetup&amp;utm_content=step1photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laying-box-down-1-1024x668.jpg\" alt=\"Carolina and Miguel lay Caroline\u2019s new bed-in-a-box on the floor | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laying-box-down-1-1024x668.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laying-box-down-1-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laying-box-down-1-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laying-box-down-1-1168x762.jpg 1168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Carolina and Miguel lay the mattress-in-a-box on the floor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the mattress is compressed, the box is still heavy, so ask a friend to help you lay the box on the floor so you can remove the mattress. When placing the box on the floor, allow plenty of room at the top of the box to remove the mattress. Try to place the box in your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/furniture\/bedroom?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=bibsetup&amp;utm_content=bedroomhyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"bedroom (opens in a new tab)\">bedroom<\/a> so it\u2019s easier to place the mattress on your foundation or bed once you\u2019ve taken it out of the box and removed the outer layer of plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.

To avoid puncturing your mattress, find the seam of the bag and cut from there. You\u2019ll start to see the mattress expanding as soon as you start cutting the bag. Remove the plastic when you\u2019re done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.

Due to its temperature-sensitive design, your mattress may need several hours to fully expand (the chillier the mattress, the longer it will take). You might also notice a slight odor after unwrapping your mattress. This \u201cnew car\u201d type of smell is completely harmless and will fade with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.
