Last i knew it is illegal to sell used mattresses in NE. As far as the plastic bag covering, new beds are stored in a warehouse with thousands of others. I was quite pleased with the matteress that i purchased from them.
We have never had any issues with Lincoln Mattress. There should be a tag with date of manufacture. I kn ow one time we thought our mattress had become uncomfortable. I'd turned it over. The problem was it wasn't designed to be used that way. Turned right side up and switched ends, it was fine.
