Review on Mattress Shipping Returns Compresses Leakproof by Shantel Griffin

After reading some reviews I realized I have to be careful with this to make sure I don't cause any tears or leaks that could cause the mattress to inflate again. The instructions were helpful and fairly simple. Took me a little longer than the "10 to 15 minutes" suggested. However, I did it myself and was very careful not to damage the bag. After sucking out the air, even after closing it, I could still hear the sound of air escaping from the valve and noticed a small hole in the center of the cap. Not sure if that was intentional, but a small piece of tape stopped the noise. After releasing as much air as possible, I wrapped some pieces of tape around the valve to give it a little more security. I chose to fold it rather than roll it in hopes of putting it in the trunk of my SUV without lowering the seat. So it's not as "small" as I initially thought, but it was enough to make it posable. The really nice thing about this product is that it made it very easy to move my king size mattress up in my new home. even with a very narrow staircase, and we didn't even get close to bump into the walls. So in my opinion that's an asset and tremendous value for this product (i.e. no need to pay someone to move this up the stairs and/or no need to patch walls and replace light fixtures that would be damaged by moving this thing). . in general.).
