Matress upgrade

Like I said, I think I got one that had just been in the warehouse too long and had reached the point where the expansion was just not going to happen, no matter how long I left it. As it was, I ordered it in January of last year. When it did not expand after several days, I contacted Amazon and got a refund. That is when I ordered the Dreamfoam, which expanded in a matter of minutes since it had only been compressed just before being shipped. Even after some time, the Zinus never expanded beyond its initial expansion which was closer to 4-5 inches instead of 6 and one of the corners never expanded beyond 2". I think it all depends on how long it has sat compressed. The longer it sits, the more likely it is to not expand properly. The Dreamfoam box specifically stated to not let it sit compressed, but to unpack it and let it expand as soon as possible to avoid the situation I encountered with the Zinus mattress.

In most cases, the mattress will likely not have sat so long in shipment/storage and will expand. I just happened to have gotten a lemon.

Good one 

We have an 8" Zinus deluxe from Amazon and it's still brutal to get the sheets on...my wife won't even do it any more....it certainly takes some maneuvering on our 177.

6" would have also been good enough I think as well....

We just use flat sheets now (not fitted) and I just jam them down the sides and don't try tuck around the bottom....
