What is a mattress in a box?
Looking for a better mattress shopping experience? Technology advancements in the mattress industry have massively overhauled the shopping experience. A mattress in a box makes shopping for a new mattress an absolute breeze.Instead of being delivered flat, like an awkward slab that you have to manoeuvre into position, a mattress in a box arrives (you guessed it) compact and in a box! This means you can easily get it to the room you want.Coupled with the convenience of online shopping (no pressuring salespeople!), it’s no wonder that so many of us choose to buy our mattresses online and in a box these days.
Let’s take a closer look!
Deep dive: What is a boxed mattress?
Let’s start with the basics: A "mattress in a box" is a compressed, rolled, and vacuum-sealed mattress for convenient shipping and delivery. This concept emerged in the last 15 years as a result of advancements in mattress manufacturing and the rise of online shopping or e-commerce.Traditionally, mattresses were bulky and required special handling and delivery due to their size and shape. However, with the development of new materials and production techniques, manufacturers found a way to compress and roll mattresses, making them more compact and easier to ship.A boxed mattress typically comes in a compact box, allowing for convenient transportation and delivery right to your doorstep. Once the box is opened (we recommend you do this in its destination bedroom), the mattress is unrolled and decompressed, gradually returning to its original shape and size. Depending on the brand, it may take a few hours or up to a day for the mattress to fully expand and be ready for use. But the Endy mattress is ready to sleep on immediately, so no waiting around!Bed-in-a-box mattresses are often foam mattresses, such as memory foam or latex foam. However, there are some hybrid models, which combine foam layers with innerspring coils, that can be delivered in a box. When you’re shopping, it’s important to pay attention to differences from manufacturer to manufacturer (it’s a mistake to think they’re all the same!)A mattress in a box can provide just as much comfort and support as traditional mattresses—sometimes even more!—while offering the convenience of easy shipping and setup.The popularity of mattresses in a box has grown significantly in recent years, with a wide range of options to suit various preferences and sleep needs. You can often choose different firmness levels, sizes, and materials when selecting a mattress in a box.

What's the difference between a mattress and a mattress in a box?The main difference between a traditional mattress and a mattress in a box is in the packaging, delivery, and setup processes. Here are some key distinctions:Packaging and delivery:- Traditional mattresses are typically sold at brick-and-mortar stores. They are large and bulky and are usually transported using special delivery services.
- Mattresses in a box are compressed, rolled, and vacuum-sealed for convenient shipping. They are compactly packaged in a box and can be delivered directly to your doorstep making them a lot easier to handle.
- Traditional mattresses typically require professional delivery and setup. They are brought to your home by the delivery team.
- Mattresses in a box are designed for easy setup. Once the box is opened, the compressed mattress is unrolled and placed on the bed frame or foundation. It gradually expands and regains its original shape and size. The setup process is straightforward enough to handle by yourself!
- Convenience
- Ease of setup
- Possible cost savings
- Sleep trials and return policies
The lifespan of a mattress in a box will vary depending on several factors, including the quality of materials. But there are also factors within the buyer's control, like usage and proper maintenance.
Factors that can affect the durability and lifespan of a mattress in a box include:
- Material quality
- Usage and weight distribution
- Maintenance and care
- Environmental Factors (like humidity levels and exposure to moisture)
To help maintain the mattress feel, we recommend rotating the mattress 180 degrees at least once every six months. Some softening throughout the lifespan of your mattress is normal, so regular rotations will help keep your mattress feeling even across the entire surface.
