Is a Bed-in-a-Box Mattress Right for You? (Also: a COVID-19 Update)

Imagine this: A package the size of a coffee table arrives on your doorstep, and when you remove the contents of the box, they transform into a queen-sized mattress! Invented in 2007, this innovative idea was designed to simplify the process of shopping for a mattress by compressing a mattress down to the size of a convenient shipping box. While the idea of buying a mattress online may seem odd, some people have found that a bed-in-a-box mattress is a perfect fit for their lifestyle, their budget, and (most importantly) their sleeping preferences.

In light of the recent COVID-19 crisis and the value of social distancing, a bed-in-a-box mattress could be an ideal fit for someone who needs a new mattress but cannot currently visit a brick-and-mortar store. Remember that you can still shop for a new mattress online and schedule a home delivery! At Beautyrest Sleep Gallery, we offer free delivery for all bed-in-box-mattresses.

The Benefits of a Bed-in-a-Box Mattress

Most bed-in-a-box mattress products are foam and come with generous trial periods so that you can ensure the product fits your needs before you commit to it. In addition, many companies offering bed-in-a-box mattresses have a limited selection of products so that you don't need to spend a lot of time comparison shopping. These products are designed to be quite flexible, accommodating sleepers of varying body shapes and sleeping styles.

If you're concerned about trying out the mattress out before you buy it, note that you can test-drive many bed-in-a-box mattresses in showrooms. You can also view mattress ratings online, which can help you find a product that accommodates your sleeping style and provides adequate support.

Although the packaging for bed-in-a-box mattresses is compact, note that it will be heavy. The mattress will be compressed and rolled or folded (or both) to fit inside the box, and most manufacturers recommend that you unpack the mattress within one or two months of its delivery. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for unpacking because the mattress will likely be heavy and cumbersome. Because many bed-in-a-box products emit an odor at first, you may wish to open a window after you remove the mattress from its packaging.
