After reading other reviews I was cautiously optimistic about this mattress. Most of the complaints were about mattress stretch and the chemical smell, so I'll combine the tips I found in the reviews with my own experience so the reader knows how to get the most out of this excellent product. When unfolding, first of all, be careful not to cut the mattress or mattress pad, only the cardboard and plastic packaging. Then remove the mattress pad in a well-ventilated area. Open a window if you can. Allow the mattress to stretch out on a hard, flat surface for over 48 hours, turning over after the first 24 hours. If a corner doesn't rise or appears crumpled, hit, fluff, knead, knead, etc. until the corner expands and fills. The chemical smell is gone for us because we left it for so long. When the mattress is fully expanded, place it back into the mattress pad, remove the sheet, and place in the crib. We have two Graco Lauren convertible cribs and the mattress fits in easily and comfortably. After about ten minutes of getting used to it, there was no more space between the slats of the cradle and the mattress. Check out my photos to see how good they are. Mattress dimensions: 52 x 28 x 5 inches. Long story short, other negative reviews complained about the smell, inability to stretch properly, and improper fit. Remove the cover and allow it to stretch/air out for 48 hours to alleviate this. With foam you ALWAYS have a heat distribution problem due to the properties of the material, but other than that I'll take this every week instead of noisy, uncomfortable mattress. My newborn son is already sleeping well on his new foam mattress so don't be put off by people who haven't taken the time to get their mattresses in top shape. Much luck!
