A Good Mattress-in-a-Box Bed Once Seemed Impossible. Now, They're Great.

When people started delivering mattresses that were suctioned up and delivered in boxes (and also, carried on bikes), everyone assumed that the mattresses couldn't possibly be that good. If you could stuff it? Into in a box? No. But, hey, that's technology for you. Now the whole getting a mattress delivered in a box without you having to go anywhere or do anything is part of the unquestioned norm of buying a mattress.

That said, stuffing a mattress into a box and getting it delivered to your home does come with its requirements, like letting the mattress expand to its given size. Also the fact that sometimes, while the mattress is unfolding, it off-gasses, which can smell weird. It's not a reason not to get the mattress, just something to keep in mind. Plus, mattresses are heavy, regardless of how they are delivered.

That all adds up to making sure that you're optimizing your money, time, and energy. You want to buy the right mattress from the right brand that makes the process easy. Some of our tried-and-trusted brands, like Casper and Purple, make it easy to navigate the options and sizes online—and then also help with the move in of the new mattress and the disposing of the old one. Here, we rounded up the 10 best mattress-in-a-box brands to shop now. Happy sleeping.

Wave Hybrid Mattress

Casper is the brand that revolutionized mattresses in boxes and it's only right that they still do the whole job seamlessly. The Wave mattress is a major upgrade from the first mattresses the brand made. This one is made of both foam and gel for optimal spinal alignment and support while you sleep.

The Mattress

Parachute Home is simply one of the most satisfying brands to shop because everything is minimal, well-made and aesthetically pleasing. With its relatively new mattress option, you can shop for everything your bedroom needs right from the one online store. Fair warning, though: This mattress is solid and it is heavy.

Memory Foam Mattress

Nectar Sleep's memory foam mattress is exactly the kind of option we'd be calling in to fit a kid's room or a guest bedroom. It's not quite as luxurious of a bed-in-a-box but it gets the job done easily and at under $1,000. Plus, all of Nectar's mattresses are now carbon neutral, so in addition to giving you a good night's sleep they are also not hurting the earth in the process.

Hybrid Mattress

Purple's hybrid mattress is the one mattress we'd pick to be good for just about every type of sleeper. It uses the best of all mattress support: coils, foam, and gel. The result is something that is deeply supportive but comfy on top—and one that doesn't make you sweat all night long.

Original Mattress

Tuft & Needle is another one of our go-to spots for good mattresses. The original mattress is made with two layers of adaptive of foam, which melds to your body and dissuades any pain points from feeling too much pressure. It's also made so that there is space between the materials in the mattress construction, letting airflow through and helping you stay cool.

Moonlight Mattress

Helix's Moonlight mattress is plushier and more supportive than its others and it, of course, comes ready for sleeping in a box. It's especially fit for people who tend to be back and stomach sleepers and need that full-body softness for the best sleep possible.

TEMPUR-Adapt Hybrid Mattress

Tempur-Pedic of course made memory foam possible for all of the world to know and the brand is still doing what it does best. This mattress uses that signature memory foam on top of support coils for a little more foundational support under the soft layer of foam. It's a solid choice for anyone who has aches of pains of virtually any kind made worse by sleeping.

Original Mattress

Leesa's Original mattress is foamy and soft and feels like you're wrapped into it when you lay down. This is especially comfortable for people who tend to have back or hip pain when sleeping on harder mattresses.

The Brick

For more of a firm bedding experience, Allswell's Brick mattress is comfortable, of course, but heavier on the feel of support. Hence, the name "brick." This is great for people who don't love the feeling of sinking into their bed—or have a hard time getting out of it. The coils are individually wrapped so you'll never feel them on your back but they set a solid foundation for your entire body.

Memory Foam Mattress

Need an easy-to-set-up mattress that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Amazon Basics has got you. This memory foam mattress has a layer of gel for a pretty comfortable sleeping experience. It can get a little sweaty—there's not a ton of ventilation—but it's a great option for the price.
