How Do Mattresses Ship?
Mattresses are shipped in a box, delivered in compressed packaging, and quickly return to their full shape when unboxed. Shipping is available within the contiguous United States at no extra cost.
Compression Process and Shipping Packaging
Mattresses are compressed using specialized machines, rolled into vacuum-sealed bags, and placed in boxes significantly smaller than the mattress itself. This process facilitates economical and environmentally friendly shipping.
Mattress Box Dimensions and Weight
The dimensions of the boxes are generally comparable to a mini-fridge, with weights ranging from 47 to 139 pounds, depending on the mattress size and type.
Shipping Carrier and Delivery Windows
Standard ground shipping is utilized, and delivery typically occurs within two to eight business days, considering factors such as location, order date, and conditions like weather. In-stock mattresses are usually shipped within one to two business days.
Shipping Locations
Shipping is available to all 50 states, excluding U.S. territories and PO/APO boxes.
Shipping Costs
Standard ground shipping is free for deliveries within the contiguous United States. Additional shipping fees may apply for orders to Hawaii and Alaska.
Delivery Options
Standard Delivery
Mattresses are delivered to your doorstep within two to eight business days. Recipients are responsible for bringing the package into their home and up any stairs.
In-Home Delivery and Setup
This option includes professional delivery into your home and setup for a fee. The delivery window is usually two to four weeks, and scheduling is arranged by the delivery service. The delivery team will set up the mattress in the chosen room, unbox it, and handle any necessary disposal of packaging or old mattresses.
Unboxing Your Mattress
For standard delivery, the unboxing process involves bringing the box to the bedroom, opening it, removing the compressed mattress, unrolling it, and placing it on the bed frame. After the plastic is removed, the mattress will expand within minutes, although it may take up to 72 hours to reach full size.
Considerations When Ordering
- Heavy Lifting: The mattress boxes may require assistance to move, particularly if navigating stairs or tight spaces.
- Unboxing Timeframe: It is advisable to unbox within three months of delivery to maintain structural integrity.
- Post-Expansion: Once expanded, the mattress cannot be re-compressed.
- Trial Period: A trial period allows for returns within a specified timeframe if the mattress does not meet expectations.
- Support Surface: The mattress should be placed on a firm, solid surface, avoiding use with a box spring.

For modern convenience, mattresses are delivered in a compressed state, facilitating accessibility and ease of shipping. Professional delivery options are available for those preferring assistance with setup.
