FAQs
Beautyrest Black
Can you flip a Beautyrest black?
Flipping a Beautyrest mattress is not recommended. Its advanced design means that sleeping on the wrong side would provide less support.
Is Beautyrest Black a firm mattress?
The Beautyrest Black mattress has three layers of polyfoam on top of a layer of gel-infused memory foam, resulting in a medium firmness, or a 6 on the firmness scale. It is easy to move around on this mattress.
Is Beautyrest black good for heavy people?
Firm models of the Beautyrest mattress, falling around a 6-7 on the firmness scale, are best suited for heavier combination sleepers over 230 pounds, as well as back and stomach sleepers.
BedInABox Original
What sleep setup do you recommend for my BedInABox?
Each BedInABox® mattress is designed to work with any standard foundation. Foam mattresses need as much direct support under them as possible in order to properly support the sleepers. Keeping a slatted or platform foundation under your BedInABox® will help you avoid mattress sagging or breakdown of the memory foam. It is recommended to pair your BedInABox® mattress with the Clever Connect foundation or the MotionInABox™ Adjustable Frame.
Is there a weight limit on your mattresses?
BedInABox® uses high-quality support foam, so there are no weight limits for any of their memory foam mattresses. However, certain foundations do have weight limits. Their foundations are rated for up to 1000 lbs.
Why is BedInABox® the best Mattress in a Box?
BedInABox® claims to be the best Mattress in a Box because they are the only brand that makes their own foam, assembles every mattress, and ships it all from their own factory in North Carolina. This means that every component of your BedInABox® is made in America and under one roof.
