Unique points

The PacBed Original has a new look and improved feel! We kept the aspects that made the PacBed Original our most popular mattress, while enhancing the feel of our memory foam. A 2-layer construction:

  • 3" 3lb Density CoolRest® Advanced Memory Foam
  • 8" 2lb Density High Quality Sure Align Support Foam
  • Smooth Knit Cover.

Our "Tiny Mattress" technology is the most significant mattress invention in the last 100 years. There is no other mattress on the market that compares to our one-of-a-kind technology and it's GREENGUARD Gold Certified. We take a 3" piece of high density hybrid foam optimized for our technology, cut out a 2.25" x 2.25" rectangular cylinder, and then encase it in a fabric pocket. We then attach the Cushion Pocket to a .078" high carbon steel pocketed coil spring to create our patented "Cushion Pocket Spring", better known as the "Tiny Mattress". Finally, we combine roughly 700 of these "Tiny Mattresses" to create a mattress that reacts independently to personal weight and size.

Firmness info

-

The SleepOvation mattress is meant to relieve back-pain and correct your sleeping posture, it does feel on the firmer side but not because the mattress itself is firm - but because it's correcting your spine. It's actually a very comfortable plush mattress, but someone who suffers from severe back pain, will feel the mattress to be much stiffer than someone with a healthy spine. It's difficult to compare our mattress to the traditional firmness standards of other mattresses simply because nothing like the 700 tiny mattresses exist.

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.

SleepOvation

Can you flip the SleepOvation mattress?

No, the SleepOvation mattress is not designed to be flipped. It has a specific construction with coils for support and small squares of memory foam for comfort, which would not provide the right feel if turned over.

How much is a SleepOvation mattress?

The SleepOvation mattress, featuring the company's unique cushion pocket system, is slightly more expensive than other mattresses. The price ranges from approximately $1,600 for a Twin size to $2,200 for a California King size.

How much weight can the mattress support?

The SleepOvation mattress is designed to remain supportive for individuals weighing up to a maximum of 350lbs.
