While a mattress in a box may sound self-explanatory, there’s more to it than just being a mattress inside a box. This concept offers a modern alternative to traditional mattress shopping.
## What Is a Mattress in a Box?
A mattress in a box is similar to a traditional mattress, but it is compressed inside an air-sealed bag and tightly rolled for shipping. The compact box makes it much easier to handle compared to a standard mattress, allowing you the convenience of selecting and receiving your mattress at home. While innerspring mattresses cannot be rolled into this form, memory foam mattresses dominate this market, alongside a variety of latex foam and hybrid options.
Mattress in a box products cater to all standard bed sizes and can typically be used with existing bed frames and box springs.
## How Does a Mattress in a Box Work?
This updated shopping model eliminates the necessity of visiting a store. Upon receiving the rolled mattress, you only need to remove it from its packaging, lay it flat, and allow it to expand. The mattress will quickly return to its original shape, leading to significant savings in the delivery process.
## The Benefits of a Mattress in a Box
