Have you just unpacked your new mattress, and it feels too small? Don’t worry, that’s completely normal, and here’s why.
Your mattress needs time to fully expand
Most mattresses are delivered vacuum-packed or tightly rolled for easy transport. This means the mattress may appear narrower than expected right after unpacking. The foam and fabric need time to return to their natural shape and size.
Here’s how you can help the mattress expand:
Give it time:
It can take 2 to 3 weeks for the mattress to fully expand and adapt to regular use.
Fluff and smooth it out by hand:
Use your hands to fluff up the mattress and smooth out any creases in the fabric. This helps both the foam and the cover settle into their correct shape.
Use it as normal:
With daily use, your body’s warmth and pressure will help the mattress take its proper form and fill out the sofa completely.
