Roll Up Mattresses

What is a rolled-up mattress? 

Rolled mattresses are also commonly called bed-in-a-box mattresses. They are often memory foam or latex, however, you can get pocket sprung and hybrid rolled mattresses too - specialist machines are able to compress and roll any mattress to help it fit into a box for maximum convenience. Once they're out of the box and expanded, they won't get back in without this equipment!

Rather than having to force an unwieldy mattress around that super-tight corner and through a narrow doorway, it’s simply a matter of carrying a manageable box upstairs and into the room of your choice. Once you’re there, simply unbox the mattress, take it out of its wrapping and allow it to regain its final shape - this can take up to 2 weeks, but they're usually comfortable enough to sleep on at the 24-48 hour mark. So, rolled mattresses: 

• Are smaller and easier to manage 

• Offer the same level of comfort and support

• Are quick and easy to position in the room of your choice

• Can be slept on in just 24 - 48 hours

What types of rolled-up mattresses are available?

It’s not just memory foam mattresses that come rolled up. Easy transportation doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality. And no matter which one you choose, you benefit from great prices and free delivery to UK mainland addresses. 

Don’t forget that you can also get your old mattress taken away for recycling, making boxed mattresses a greener choice. The range of beds-in-a-box includes: 

• Foam mattresses – rolled and vacuum packed for easy transport, most memory foam mattresses are now delivered boxed. It takes just a few hours for these mattresses to regain their original shape. 

• Sprung mattresses – while not all sprung mattresses come boxed and rolled, more modern options do. The rolling does not damage the spring matrix in any way, and you get the same level of support as you would with any other sprung mattress.

• Natural mattresses – luxurious, snuggly, and oh-so-comfortable, natural fillings such as wool, silk and cashmere can be boxed and rolled without damaging the fibres. Simply unbox, and allow to lay flat for 24 hours, and the mattress fibres will naturally regain their original shape. 

Do the mattresses get delivered rolled up?

We offer a next-day mattress delivery service, which makes our vacuum-packed options ideal for those who need a quick and reliable service. This is great if you need a new mattress at short notice, and once delivered you will be able to move it within your home quickly and easily.

Their compact size makes them ideal for use as spare beds without needing plenty of free space, simply store away until needed. Alternatively, if you need to transport them to another destination, they will fit inside an average car.

What is the best way to unpack a vacuum-packed mattress?

They are very easy to unpack, simply remove the protective packaging and place it on the bed. Over a period of hours it will gradually expand to its usual shape. Simply leave the mattress in its required location at room temperature and it will soon be ready to sleep on. There may be some initial creases which are left from the way it was packed; however, these will gradually disappear over a few days.

How long do bed in a box mattresses last?

Once it’s unrolled, a bed in a box mattress is just like any other. Bear in mind, though that ‘roll-up’ mattresses cannot be rolled up again once they’ve been unboxed, so once it’s flat, that’s that! However, because they’re made to exceptionally high standards and from the very latest materials, roll-up mattresses last for years. 

Look after them in the same way by regularly rotating to avoid any lumps and bumps. A mattress topper will prolong the life of any mattress, including roll-up options. With care, your rolled mattress should last between eight and ten years. 

Is any damage caused when it is rolled up?

No, the packaging process will not cause any damage to your rolled mattress. In fact, because of the vacuum packaging process, it will remain fresh and untouched until the day you unwrap it. We pride ourselves on providing high-quality products with the lowest price tags out there, so you can have complete peace of mind in the way our mattresses are packaged and transported.

Are there any environmental benefits to ordering rolled instead of standard options?
