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.

Nectar

Do Nectar mattresses sag over time?

Like all mattresses, the Nectar mattress can experience some sagging over time, primarily due to usage patterns and lack of care. However, regular maintenance such as rotation and evenly distributing pressure is necessary to maximize its lifespan.

Do I have to keep my Nectar mattress 30 days before returning?

Nectar offers a 365-day trial period for its mattresses. However, Nectar does have a mandatory 30-day break-in period. This means customers are required to keep their mattress for at least 30 days before initiating a return.

Where is Nectar Mattress company located?

Nectar Sleep is located in Palo Alto, California, United States. It was founded in 2016.
