The 8 Bed-in-a-box Brands We Stand Behind & Why

August 18, 2019
What We Considered
✓ Honest and fair pricing
✓ Superior comfort technology
✓ Good-sleep guarantee
Our Picks
✓ Casper - Best bang for your buck
✓ Leesa - Best for hot sleepers
✓ Helix - Most product options
✓ Tuft & Needle - Most breathable
Here’s what we found: trusted brands that mean it when they say that their mattresses are superior. We started by stripping out the copycat brands, the opportunistic ones claiming to sell “Casper at half the price” (questionable and phony), and any that look like they belong on an infomercial (we’re not even sure what to do with that but it ain’t our thang). Then we took it one step further and got rid of the ones with insufficient reviews and fake Instagram followings that make you question what the hell is going on (25K followers and only a few likes per photo looks real fishy).
P.S: If you haven't watched a mattress unboxing video yet, do yourself a favor and watch one now. There's something so satisfying about watching a mattress unravel.
Casper
