Once it’s unrolled, a bed in a box mattress is just like any other. Bear in mind, though that ‘roll-up’ mattresses cannot be rolled up again once they’ve been unboxed, so once it’s flat, that’s that! However, because they’re made to exceptionally high standards and from the very latest materials, roll-up mattresses last for years. Look after them in the same way by regular rotating to avoid any lumps and bumps. A mattress topper will prolong the life of any mattress, including roll-up options. With care, your rolled mattress should last between eight and ten years. Is any damage caused when it is rolled up? Here is the tip for you, put some heavy things on the mattress while doing this process, or you can request your friend to walk on the mattress. Actually, this will help to seal the mattress properly. If you need extra pressure-point relief to help you sleep comfortably, then the Purple Plus mattress is the bed-in-a-box you need. This mattress pairs the brand’s own GelFlex Grid with a triple-layer comfort core for a stable feel that supports the body while cradling pressure points. What sleepers experience is a mattress that is firm where it's needed, yet soft enough at the hips, shoulders, and knees for cushioned comfort.

The Layla Hybrid mattress stands out for two main reasons. Firstly, this mattress in a box doesn't actually come in a box; instead it arrives in a fancy cloth duffel bag, which is more sustainable and looks a lot nicer than a cardboard box, but which is harder to maneuver than a box. Secondly, this is a flippable mattress with a softer side and a firmer side (as well as handles to make flipping it easier), making it an excellent choice for anyone who can't quite make their mind up about how firm a mattress they prefer.

There are a few exceptions such as Herdy but in effect, they are layers of foam, glued together then crushed & rolled to fit into a box. At John Ryan, we don’t sell any rolled mattresses. Our mattresses wouldn’t fit and we wouldn’t subject them to the damages of being rolled and crushed. We did some tests when rolled mattresses entered the market, more on that later.

What is your usual sleeping position?

Natural mattresses– luxurious, snuggly, and oh-so comfortable, natural fillings such as wool, silk and cashmere can be boxed and rolled without damaging the fibres. Simply unbox, allow to lay flat for 24 hours, and the mattress fibres will naturally regain their original shape.

The box may look slightly different, but this is how rolled mattresses arrive. This is the SleepSoul Luna mattress box. The Layered foam mattress came out with micro tears all across the foam layers when removed the cover off it (Most Eve, Simba, Casper or Leesa mattresses have non-removable covers so you can’t see inside or inspect them) This well-made bed also rightly earns its place in our guide to the best memory foam mattresses. It uses quality materials and comes with a Forever Warranty to demonstrate the brand’s trust in the product. Plus, there’s a lengthy 365-night trial so you can see for yourself, risk-free, if it’s a good fit for you. Best of all, Nectar mattress sales run constantly, making this already-affordable bed even more accessible. Under the quilted foam and cashmere-blend cover, you’ll find a pressure-relieving layer of gel-infused memory foam. Next, layers of 'sink-in' foam and support foam offer comfort and stability. All these layers combine to offer superior pressure-relief right where you need it at the shoulders, hips, and knees. This hybrid also has a layer of wrapped 8-inch coils, allowing the body to sink in slightly while still maintaining comfort on the pressure points and bringing in good airflow to help you stay cool. This just eliminates the potential for any fillings, foam or springs inside to become misshapen or damaged.The material of these premium bags is also very flexible, that is quite enough for protecting your mattresses from any external damages. You’d be surprised at just what you can get for your money when compared to the synthetic boxed foam companies so it’s best to shop around. We had a panel of consumers trial a mattress in a box over a set period of time. Testers were sent a questionnaire, devised by our team of experts in the GHI, and were asked to comment on their mattress in the following areas: performance/comfort, design and overall perception. If the mattress happens to have any specific claims, we also covered these in the questionnaire. We also asked our testers if they would happily buy the mattress and if they’d recommend it to friends and family. We would advise caution with buying a boxed mattress, as rolling and storing them for long periods of time can damage their flimsy foam layers. However, if you’ve recently bought a boxed mattress this guide will give you all the details you need to know. First, let’s start with the basics – what does ‘roll up mattress’ actually mean? The term can be a little confusing and people often think that it refers to something like a roll up futon mattress or a roll up travel mattress; one you might get out for guests or when camping and then roll it away again.

We advise that you remove the old mattress and make sure you have some room ready to unwrap the new one. We recommend that you move the boxed mattress to the room of choice before unwrapping it. This is because once unwrapped the mattress will quadruple in size and start to expand.After your mattress completely shrinks, then place the plastic sheet under it, then tightly roll it up. Then use some tape to keep the roll in its position.
