FAQs

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.

Emma

Is the Emma Sleep mattress a good investment?

The Emma Sleep mattress is an excellent choice, particularly for those who sleep on their backs. Despite being an all-foam mattress, it offers a perfect blend of comfort and support that back sleepers require. It also provides adequate support for stomach sleepers, which is quite an achievement for an all-foam mattress.

What makes the Emma Mattress unique?

The Emma Original is made with Visco Memory foam, which perfectly conforms to your body shape, providing relief to sensitive pressure points and ensuring spinal alignment. The mattress also has a high-resilience extra foam layer at the bottom that offers additional back support as you sleep.

Why does the Emma mattress feel warm?

The warmth you experience with the Emma mattress is due to its construction from synthetic foam, including memory foam. These materials are known for their heat retention properties. Vasco elastic foams like memory foam respond to, retain, and build up heat to function effectively.
