Who has bought a bed-in-a-box?

Question

I want to get a new mattress but cannot afford $2,500 for one. I'm interested in a bed-in-a-box mattress. They have so many kinds available I'm lost as to which is a good one that won't break the bank. I've tried several but they didn't help my back any. I am a side sleeper and just can't sleep for more than 3 or 4 hours at a pop. I attribute to this new bed I got. If I remember right I got a purple mattress. Who has bought what and how did it turn out for you? Do you like it or regret it?

I have tried 3 different types of the beds in a box, both with springs and without. They have all broken down within months and ended up giving me back pain and I would wake up feeling unrested. I don't recommend it. I saved money by getting each one, but since they didn't last or work as good, I could have just got one good bed and I would have been better off.

I finally got a good quality bed that was discounted because it was returned in less than two weeks because the previous customer found it to be too firm for them. It lowered the price by around $1,100 if I remember correctly. Try asking a furniture store if they have any slightly used (pretty much new) ones for less.

I've never used a foam mattress. We've had so many different mattresses. They always failed. We made sure to get warranties on them. Usually 3/4 of the way through the warranty we would need a new mattress. We always upgraded to a better one. We would pay the difference, Usually a few hundred dollars but got a better mattress than the last. Our current mattress retailed for around 2900.00 but since we upgraded it only cost an additional 600 dollars. It's super comfortable and extremely heavy.

If you have a bad back, you need a mattress with good support. I don't think you'll find that in an all foam mattress

Amazon might honestly be your best bet.
I used to own Casper but it breaks the bank. I will say, the mattress was amazing though. The only reason why I got rid of it was because it got really mishandled during my move to a new home.

It’s Canadian though so I’m not sure if they ship international. I think specialty mattress stores also carry them.

I've had a couple. The one I use in the study's daybed is fine for migraine days. Nothing I would want to put to use with any activities though.

Haven't. Wouldn't.

We consistently bought from a local, private, family-owned mattress tore. 5 great mattress seats over two generations. They started going to the "green BIAB" concept, and their beds are now junk. We took our prior bed, put it in the guest room, which I now use. The new bed is just so bad!

I'm not sure if this is what you mean but, I just bought a mattress that came in a box about 12" square by 3' tall. It's a memory foam mattress and it was only $150 at Amazon. I just started using it a week ago and, so far, no complaints. At least there's no wires poking me in the ass like the last mattress I had!! And it's not a marshmallow like the last one, either!

I bought a Linnenspa for a little over 400 bucks and it's proved quite useful over the past 2 and a half years. Had to purchase a queen size frame from Walmart for 60 bucks, but still cheap as fuck for an entire set.

if you're a side sleeper... and you're also taller than average rather than shorter, I would suggest you to try a body-size pillow to sleep with if you're not doing that already... it might make a difference for your alignment as you do sleep

I bought a queen size Zinus queen sized bed a shy over a year ago for under $400. It’s very soft and feels best with new pillows and on a box spring. I don’t regret it. It’s not heaven but it’s comfortable and I get solid sleeps, it’s clean as well!

Do u have a pad for in between your knees so they don’t cross when u sleep? I’m a side sleeper too but I sleep on a Japanese futon on the ground. The pad between the knees helped my low back to not be sore when I wake up.
