A mattress in a box is a mattress that has been compressed, vacuum sealed, and packed into a compact box for easy shipping and handling. It expands to its full size once unpacked.

It typically takes a few hours for a mattress to start expanding and can take up to 48 hours to fully regain its shape and comfort level. However, factors like temperature and humidity can extend this period up to a week.

Setting up involves positioning the box in the desired area, carefully removing the mattress, unwrapping it, allowing it to expand, and then disposing of the packaging. Detailed instructions can be found in the blog above.

Always check the mattress size and model against your order to ensure there are no errors before unpacking. This helps avoid the hassle of trying to repack and return the mattress if there's a mistake.

The primary benefits include cost savings due to direct-to-consumer sales models, convenient delivery to your doorstep, and easy setup that usually can be managed by one person.
