Bought a 14” queen- Slumber Solutions from Overstock.com. Loved it and ordered the King next. Very comfortable.

It's nice to hear folks have good experiences with Bed in the Box. We tried a few over the years and while comfortable, the two areas that made us return them were the smell even after a few days of opening them up from the box and they get hot during the summer when you sleep on them. Now this was many years ago. Have the BiB mattresses really improved that much to worth a second look?

We love ours. We bought it from Sam's Club. I don't remember the brand, might have been Sealy. It sure is a lot less expensive than other name brands.

Bought 2 twin Casper "Original" mattresses to replace 1 king mattress. After opening the boxes and allowing the mattresses to decompress found that I should have ordered 2 twin XL's since a regular twin is too short. Called Casper to return these. They asked if there was a local Habitat For Humanity organization locally. These mattresses were never slept on but they were donated to HFH. There was no hassle in the return or credit and I went ahead and reordered 2 twin XL mattresses from Casper. We have had them now for a year and love them. Casper not only has a very good product but also excellent customer service.

Default Usually too firm.

I have tried several different brands of bed in a box brands. Initially they seemed comfortable but after a few nights I realized they were too firm for me. Obviously peoples preferences vary greatly but nothing is worse than a mattress that is too hard.

I highly recommend to go on Amazon and read all the two and three star reviews at a minimum. Many of them will have pictures and detailed descriptions of what the shortcomings are. The overall rating can be very deceiving.

We bought a King Sweetnight mattress in a box on Amazon for 498.00. It is 12 inch plush pillow top. We put it in the guest room. Everyone who has slept on it has loved it. I tried it one night and it’s so comfortable.

Yes, I just bought two and I am very happy. I bought a “vibe” off amazon and I bought a very sturdy 18” metal frame base. Just make sure when you purchase this, that you do not sleep on it for 48 hours.

I purchased a Zinus from Sam’s Club. It is a king and for the guest room. It seems to be quite firm.

We purchased a Casper a couple years ago and returned it within a couple weeks. Our original mattress was 15 inches and the Casper was only 9 inches so looked awful on our bed frame. It was no more comfortable than our old worn out mattress. The refund was easy and Casper sent a 1800 got junk truck to pick it up. I was sorry it could not be donated to a good cause. My daughter has a purple mattress and likes it.

We bought an Amerisleep memory foam “mattress in a box”. We are very happy with it - two years old. It was about 1/3 the cost of the big name brand memory foam mattress.

I bought a Serta memory foam mattress from Sam's Club and I don't like it at all.

I should have known better. Many items that are sold in big box stores under a brand name are not made by the company whose name is one the box. Often those names are used as the result of a licensing agreement.

I'm not saying that this is definitely the case with this Serta mattress but I selected it over others because it was a familiar brand.

My sister has a $3500+ Tempurpedic and it has been replaced twice for the same thing. The lower end ones (Casper etc) aren't so quick to replace them despite their warranty. Temperpedic is great for that for $3500+. I figured for what the Casper cost I can replace it 3x before it cost me what her Temperpedic did.
thank you fellow NJ en
