This type of mattress was first brought to market in recent years in response to the often eye-watering mark-ups made on mattresses sold in bricks-and-mortar stores.
Mattress-in-a-box (also known as bed-in-a-box) is an online-only mattress industry. Manufacturers cut out the middleman by selling directly to the consumer, and they deliver compressed mattresses to your door. The mattresses are deoxygenated and enclosed in vacuum-sealed packaging, making it possible to be transported in a box, which earns them their nickname. Once open, the mattresses slowly expand to their full size.
Through our testing we've found that a mattress that costs $1000 can be just as comfortable as one priced at $6000
A mattress-in-a-box is generally cheaper than a conventional mattress, costing around a thousand dollars for a queen-size model (compared to many thousands for a regular instore mattress). Through our testing we've found that a mattress that costs $1000 can be just as comfortable and perform just as well over its lifetime as one priced at $6000.
To contend with the uncertainty many people might feel buying a mattress online without being able to physically try it out, mattress-in-a-box brands offer trial periods that can extend up to 100 days along with warranties up to 15 years. If you don't like the mattress, you can usually return it easily at no extra cost.
