Are you shopping for a new mattress? You will come across many options, including a mattress in a box. Not sure what this is? It is just like a regular mattress, but the only difference is that it is compressed in an air-sealed bag and rolled tight before shipping. The mattress is then placed into a box about the size of a small fridge for shipping. 

This box is a lot easier to move than a traditional mattress, and buying a mattress in a box allows you the flexibility of picking your mattress online and having it delivered to your door. 

An innerspring mattress cannot be rolled into this compact form which is why the most common boxed mattress type is memory foam. Mattress in a box is available for all standard bed sizes and in most cases, a boxed mattress can be used with the bed frame and box spring you already have. 

How does this concept work?

A mattress in a box offers an updated version of the original mattress shopping model that eliminates the need to visit a store. All you must do when you receive the rolled mattress is pull it out of the packaging, lay it flat and allow it to expand. The foam structure of this mattress ensures your mattress will quickly regain its original shape once it is unrolled and the entire process allows consumers to eliminate the traditional mattress delivery option. 

Benefits of a Mattress in a Box

• Convenience. You can order your mattress online and wait for it to be delivered! You don’t have to make special delivery plans because the box is convenient and easy to maneuver. This compact box can be delivered right to your door, and you can easily pick it up and bring it into your home.

• Easy assembly. You don’t have to worry about lugging a bulky mattress up or down your stairs or fitting it through a narrow door frame because the tidy box form makes it easier to transport your new mattress to your bedroom.

• Variety. Choosing a mattress in a box does not mean you have to settle for one option because you will have choices regarding firmness levels and can select a mattress that supports your sleeping needs and position.

• Easy purchasing process. You can order a mattress in a box online and have it delivered right to your door. The buying process is very easy and quick!

• Cost savings. This kind of mattress is affordable, and because you don’t have to pay for a delivery team or someone to bring it into your home, you will enjoy additional savings. The mattress will arrive directly to your home, and you can bring it to your bedroom yourself which will result in savings. 

Whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach, a mattress in a box can provide your body with pressure relief and support to ensure a comfortable alignment. It will allow you to get your best night's sleep, and you can enjoy luxurious foams and breathable layers for a restful sleep. 

When you receive your mattress in a box, move the wrapped box into the room you’d like it to be in. Then, remove the rolled mattress from the box and lay it flat. Remove the plastic packaging and allow your mattress to expand. That’s all it takes to get your new mattress going, and it will be ready to sleep on within minutes. 

In terms of buying the right mattress in a box, you must determine what size mattress you need for your space. If your bedroom is small, a twin or full is the best option, and if you have a large room to fill, you can consider a queen or king-size mattress. In addition to size, you must choose firmness level and a mattress type. Firm or soft is a personal preference, as is mattress type. Foam mattresses combine layers of different density foams for softness and support, are softer on side sleepers, and absorb the motion of restless sleepers. Hybrid mattresses combine the benefits of both spring and foam and offer a great blend of pressure relief and support. 

To decide between a mattress in a box and a traditional mattress, you must consider a few factors, including convenience and price. Additionally, a bed in a box offers convenient delivery, affordable prices, and comfort and support.
