Just received the zonli full size

I kinda like it but it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay short. It's supposed to be 72" X 54" but upon measuring it, it's only 66" X 48. Does it expand, and if so, how much?

How do I get it to expand the fastest and the most? Does it need to be left in the direct, hot sun for 72 hours? Man I hope it gets a lot bigger since I'm 5'11 1/2 and it's looking kinda small right now.

And is there a top or bottom, or does it matter? Man I'm kinda wishing I got the 4" but we'll see how it goes. I'm gonna give a serious shot.

Now that I think about it, 72" may actually work assuming it expands because I'm primarily a side-sleeper and u lose a few inches when u sleep that way and curl up. Anyone have any experience with this?

Can you return the Zonli mattress?

I'm brand new to this and struggling to like it. I'm on board in theory but hate it in practice -- because I wake up in pain every morning. That's not to say my bed was better though, as I just returned it. Thankfully, it allowed for returns.

I'm about to try the Zonli. If you buy it from Amazon and try it out, is Zonli pretty good about returns? I just wanna try it for literally one night, and make it a low investment trial without going too hard. I was thinking going Futonbedsfromjapan but it would take 1 month to get to me, so that's a no go, and then they definitely won't take back returns.

I'm sleeping on 2 yoga mats right now and I just wake up in pain every morning so I need to find a better solution (my back, my hips, neck). I'm traditionally a side sleeper. I'm 155lbs and 6', so not heavy or skin and bones.

PS I've never been comfortable in beds, so this is an easy transition for me. I just need to find the right tools to do it. Who likes 2.5 inch and who likes 4 inch, and why? I wanna try the 2.5 but im scared of having to buy all sorts of stuff in order to figure out what works and what doesn't, and then not being able to return any of it. To bad they don't have a way to demo this lifestyle and all the products..

I was thinking of just getting this as a starter: (full) https://www.amazon.com/ZonLi-Japanese-Mattress-Foldable-Dormitory/dp/B0GHRPKK3M/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3O0F197UW7SIH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.F4JiDbDY18hVRrnMZATphVeGPBrAYV4BxnEMxgV5cAafWK30G3Pb7Obxz7Em2yNBgnsK6OeupS4SAhcF8-9p154xoPFDMh_mg1tsaIWTVkp_Zy1CYo8hHYbgG6J9FCv6epQyyotg6V2kupi5MgIpAzh74EaK3vgRKzttX9505hNRKJ4pQSwaMZsGuCpXrRz3R0QSpOfBMVObKP5icrcWspEyWiYUAj-5XMXInbZ5aBg.1B90eEF7DiOV9WTUXZiT0KhRnxLlKdgB5Hc6m9NY8z0&dib_tag=se&keywords=zonli%2Bfloor%2Bmattress&qid=1790614487&sprefix=zonli%2B%2Caps%2C261&sr=8-4&th=1

and of course the tatami from them, too.

I guess kinda what i want to know is: is the zonli actually comfy, or is it just a cheap starter?

And is 2.5" really enough? Im wondering if anyone is actually comfortable with just 2.5". I think the Japnese futons are 4.5".
