MATTRESS CONSTRUCTION MATTERS
Why Finding the Right Mattress Type Matters?
The type of mattress you choose has a significant impact on how well it will address your sleep needs and comfort preferences, so understanding each construction is key to making a choice you’ll be happy with. Fortunately, some mattress types allow you to enjoy different constructions in one mattress—hybrid mattresses feature both innerspring coils and foam materials—so you don’t have to choose just one. Mattress Brands' wide selection of mattress types, from traditional innerspring mattresses and memory foam mattresses to hybrid mattresses, bed in a box, all-foam and air mattresses, we'll help you find the best bed for your body.

Bed in a Box Mattress
Bed in a box mattresses are commonly created with an all-foam construction. They differ from traditional all-foam mattresses in that they are compressed and rolled into a compact box rather than shipped flat. All you have to do is simply unpack your mattress in a box, roll it out and allow it to reach its full shape and comfort.
Pros
Arriving straight to your door in a compact shipping size, box beds make maneuvering tight spaces like stairways and corners painless. Bed in a box mattresses offer convenience and simplicity at affordable prices.
Cons
When first taken out of the box, the mattress may give a strong off-gassing odor that can take up to a few days to fully go away.
Gel Memory Foam Mattress
All-foam beds offer a unique feel that many have described as a “sinking in” sensation, in comparison to the familiar bounce of an innerspring bed. An
all-foam mattress has a highly durable foam core topped by additional foam layers for comfort.
Pros
Foams provide enhanced pressure relief by not "pushing back" against the body, which minimizes the number of pressure points and helps to alleviate associated pain.
Cons
The majority of all-foam beds have more expensive price points.
