7 Facts About Mattresses in a Box!

You might not have heard or experienced a Mattress in a Box and you are not alone.

We get questions daily 'how does it come in a box? How can a Queen Mattress come in a box this size? A queen mattress is 153cm x 203cm x 32cm (W x L x H), however the box is only 30cm x 158cm x 30cm (W x L x H)! 

This is made possible by innovative engineering processes, that condense the innersprings or the memory foam and allow it to be air-packed and sealed. The benefit is a mush more efficient storage and transport process - with the outcome being a higher quality more affordable mattress for your home. 

Here, we provide some information on what makes our Mattresses in a Box work and hope to overcome any myths or questions!
