This mattress was packaged very well…even though the box was 114 lbs, it was small enough for a man to pick up alone. We cut the plastic and it puffed up on its own, from box to bed frame in about 10 minutes. Instructions said there may be a smell and to let it air out for 24-48 hours, but we didn’t have to do that as there was no smell. We slept on it the first night. The reason for 3 stars is the comfort. It’s very firm and we woke up sore after a not so great night of sleep. We plan to put a 4 inch memory foam topper it due to the firmness. If you like firm mattresses, this would be great as it is a good quality mattress.
