Zipper side down or up? The instructions do not tell you which side is up and which is down....and there is a big difference. I put the zipper side down and hope that is correct. When you open and unroll it, the zipper side is the soft side and the other side is very hard so you might think the hard side goes down. I could not find any comments on here yet.

John, thanks. When you receive it before it expands, the green/memory foam side is hardest and I think that made me wonder which side was up or down. After it expanded, it was obvious.

I will agree that the instructions miss that point. The zipper side is down. The memory foam is the slow heavy side or the green side which is on top like the photos states.

Each side comes up and it zips in the middle. Yes it's quiet, but a zipper is a zipper and can sometimes be loud if you go too fast.

I have had both. The zipper was a pain. It had to be "started" each time and it can be tedious trying to get the zipper going. But it was really easy to fold. Just one button and done. This one that doesn't zip is nice because it is easier to quickly secure it but the folding situation is just ridiculous. The folding design seems like it was made for long-term storage or transporting once in a while But for any regular use the folding design is not well engineered at all.

The zipper opens up completely on one short side (top) and down about 1/3 of the way on the two adjacent long sides. In the pictures on the description page, the zippers are on the left side very close to where the zipper stop is.

One side is memory foam, the other is just dense foam. If you push your hand into it and the imprint stays there a little bit before rebounding, you have it right side up. On the queen, that would be the blue side. PS, the loose cover that ties on is only meant to keep the mattress clean during shipping/moving.

<All three answers serve truth to the question>:Rough side up for less chance of material moving if bumped into, smooth side up if you are continually moving items across shelf to reposistion.Hope this helps.

The answers of Joan D and Sara K are very good. A 2-way, double pull zipper runs down each side. 1 zipper pull starts from either corner of the open end (head) of the top blanket. The second zipper pull begins at bottom center (foot). Bring a pair of zipper pulls to head corner or bottom center, and that side's zipper will come free like your zip-up jackets. Repeat on other side and top will come off free.

I have no idea. I never could find a definitive answer anywhere. Even the box doesn't state which side is up. I used mine both ways and I honestly never noticed a difference either way.

They have a zipper on the side.Just make sure you are ordering two items & not one. That was my mistake.

The zipper goes down around the sides. It opens very widely. You could drop a 6 pack directly down into it. It is in the style of an old Drs medicine bag. It is very nice.

There were at least three types. The first had no side opening, you just pulled it on like a big sock. But there are also "handed" ones, right or left zipper opening. Ordering from the company, you can pick left or right opening ones. I think if it says just "liner" it is no zipper, just slide into it.

Zipper closes the entire bag, largest compartment, if you want it closed...otherwise just flap over the top...it stays shut without havng to snap it. But conveniently it does zipper and nothing will ever fall out if dropped of for any other reason the bag would be on its side or upside down!

You zip it up ALL THE WAY - push the zipper under the lock. The end you grab on the zipper will be sticking out, but when you push the lock down to lock it, you will not be able to pull the zipper open. Make sense?

Neither,bottom is all part of sides which makes it better than velcro or zippered which I have had before & dogs either chewed zipper or got the velcro up & escaped,this is areally nice one.

My husband is on his second one of these. He has never said anything about the zipper being in the way. He actually wanted me to buy him one just like his first one.

It's on the side and I believe it is a zipper (we gave it as a gift so I can't check!). You can roll up the door. It's very cool. Was well received by two year old but lots of age ranges would love it (even the adults but it's a bit small!)

I think we lowered the mattress when our son was able to reach up and grab the bumper - we anticipated that he would be pulling up - sometime before he pulled up on the sides. My second son is 4 months and hasn't rolled over yet, so we haven't lowered it yet. If you have to ask yourself twice, that usually means just do it! You'll feel better. What's it going to hurt? It's better to lower it too early than too late.
