I need this for a beach house we rent each summer. Reviews indicate it has to decompress for 24 hrs. Can I get it back in the box to take home?

I wouldn't bet on getting it back in the box. It comes in an air tight bag and once you open it, it expands immediately. I am sure you can compress it down considerably for storage, but I would be surprised if you can get it back in the box. It doubles in size once you get it out of the box.

only a guess since I tossed the box -- but I'll bet you can (like down sleeping bags compress to fit back into their stuff bags). An extra pair of hands will probably help.

no, it's packaged with all air sucked out to conserve space. Once you allow to expand it wont fit in the box, however you could roll it up tightly and secure with bungie cord.

Hi Anthony ... I inflate and deflate the Island on my boat as its quick and easy to inflate & deflate and folds to around 1.5mtr Sq ... When its inflated its pretty big and cumbersome all round ...and I guess it may be difficult to find somewhere to store ..

It's not too bad. The only thing I wished I knew beforehand was that after you UN pack the topper, you have to let it breathe for 48 hours in a well ventilated about. Luckily i had a place to do that.

you'll want to use an aircompressor, you can find on at a gas station or tire center. Good chance one of your handyman neighbors has one.

deflates after one or two hours. Need to either return it or get something else.

Oh my, I never had to send it back. What I would do, is get it soft by exposing it to the sun. Once it is hot, hurry and fold it to fit in box. The Maj

The product is not defective, the foam will expand into its full potential in 24-48 hours maybe less. I thought the same myself and contacted the seller who advised me to allow the decompression to "wear off".

Hello, same thing happened to me. But I think it's becaues the bean bags were decompressed and possibly put in a storage facility for quite a while. Anyway, the only option is to just air it out outside (with a cardboard underneath the chair to keep it from getting dirty) or open up all the windows in a room where the Fuf chair will be. It said on the website that you should only spot clean your Fuf chair, so taking out the foam and trying to wash the fabric would not be recommended unless you ordered the liner with it. https://www.beanbaguniverse.com/FAQ.aspx (that site answers a lot of questions) Hello, same thing happened to me.

It decompressed quickly I'd say that it took about 6 hours. But the manufacturer says that it takes 48 hours to fully decompress.

You store it in a small bag - not the box - when it is deflated and it rolls up smaller than the bag they provide and just a little smaller than a sleeping bag. It is not large to store at all. Super easy!

I had the same problem too. I used my air compressor and just stuck the end in the hole and stuck a rag around in the hole to clog it. It took me about 30 min. to get the thing inflated,but I finally got it.Hope this helps you out.

It can be packed since it deflates. I had trouble with an air leak on one of the components. It comes with a repair kit. I eventually stopped using it because it was hot/sweaty since it's plastic. Still, since I can't sleep lying flat, it was a decent option if I didn't have anything else.

Yes you can. I took it to the beach in Miami for a week and just put soda and water in and then filled it with ice. It lasted most of the day. It probably would have lasted longer if I could have found a little shade for it. Once done, just take the stuff out and dump the water. I like to wipe it out inside so no mold starts to grow if it sits in the closet for a while. I had no leaking problems as the other person did.

Take it out of box, and give it some water and air, then you can pack it back it the box before you give it, try to keep it in basement or garage till then.

No, we do not recommend taking the cover off and washing it. We only recommend spot cleaning the cover if there are any spills or if any dirt gets onto it. These mattresses typically take 48-72 hours to fully decompress, but they can take up to one week to fully decompress in some cases. You can sleep on the mattress during this time, sleeping on the mattress will not slow down the decompression process. If after this time, your mattress is not fully decompressed, please let us know and we will provide you with warranty claim information.

We couldn't deflate it enough to get it back into the case when we went camping. Got it home and sealed all but one valve and used a shop vac to deflate it. Worked great but we haven't reinflated yet to see if the vac was too much.

mine was kept in its original box while we moved. it came out just fine. when you take it out of the box just give it an hour and you have a great mattress. i got it for my mom and she loves it. it really doesnt matter how long its in the box because thats how they are at the warehouse and that could be a long time. glad i could help, enjoy the mattress. sandy
