Why Trust Big Sandy Superstore? 

Historically, mattress delivery to condos, apartments, and townhouses was challenging at best. Delivery experts had to navigate steep staircases and tight turns in order to place a bulky mattress in the bedroom. Then bed-in-a-box technology was developed. Companies can ship mattresses in compact boxes and create airtight seals that shrink their size. Customers simply open the box in their bedrooms and the mattresses expand to their natural width and height.

Many of the top-name brands you already know have started to invest in bed-in-a-box systems. This means you can still buy a queen memory foam mattress that arrives in a medium-size box.

Here are a few top bed-in-a-box queen mattresses that are available at Big Sandy Superstore. See which models are best for your sleep needs, price range, and personal preferences.

Sealy is another well-known mattress brand that has entered the bed-in-the-box market. Enjoy the Sealy foam that contours to your body and disperses your weight evenly across the mattress. This is what creates a feeling of weightlessness and relieves pressure from your joints and muscles.

The MoistureProtect™ cover keeps you cool and dry. If you are a hot sleeper who frequently wakes up with night sweats, this mattress is ideal for your sleep needs. This is a gel memory foam mattress – not a hybrid model.

Sealy mattresses are manufactured in the United States, so you are purchasing an American-made product. They also come with a 10-year warranty. Learn what other customers have to say who already purchased this Sealy product. One Sealy queen mattress reviewer explains, “[It’s] super soft but not an uncomfortable soft. I sleep on my side and my hip discomfort has greatly improved since the purchase.”

Customers rave about the buttery soft cashmere blend cover which can quickly lull you to sleep. Read what other buyers have to say before taking home this mattress. 

FAQ

How does a bed-in-a-box work?

Boxed mattresses reduce stress levels for homeowners who live in tight spaces. Instead of helping delivery professionals move a bulky mattress through your house, you simply carry a box into the desired room. When you open the mattress, it will inflate over a period of time and reach its expected size.

How long does it take for a boxed mattress to inflate?

Every brand is different; however, it usually takes between 24 to 48 hours for a mattress to fully inflate after it has been removed from its box. During this time, avoid sitting on the mattress or sleeping on it. If you know you have a bed-in-a-box queen mattress arriving, plan to sleep on another bed until it is inflated.
