Why choose a mattress-in-a-box?

Mattresses-in-a-box offer unbeatable convenience: they’re easy to transport, fit through tight spaces, and can be set up in minutes. No need to worry about hiring movers or hauling a bulky mattress up the stairs. These mattresses expand on their own and are ready to sleep on within a few hours.

Convenience doesn’t mean compromise. Mattresses-in-a-box from Linen Chest are built to last, with multi-layered foam construction for consistent comfort and support over time. For example, the Miab Beautyrest firm mattress-in-a-box features gel-infused memory foam, a high-density foam core, and breathable materials.

They're also a smart investment. Most mattress-in-a-box models are more affordable than showroom options but still deliver premium performance, making them ideal if you're working within a budget or furnishing a secondary space. And no, they don’t require a box spring—a supportive platform or slatted base will do just fine.
