What types of rolled up mattresses are available?
The three main types of rolled-up mattresses are foam, sprung, and natural.
- Foam mattresses
- Sprung mattresses
- Natural mattresses
Foam mattresses comprise memory foam, a synthetic polymer that reacts to pressure and heat. These mattresses mould your body while you sleep, providing proper support for your joints and muscles. The breathable materials prevent overheating and ensure a restful night's sleep. You can easily roll and vacuum-pack memory foam mattresses for easy transportation, and they only take a few hours to regain their usual shape.
Sprung mattresses consist of individually wrapped springs enclosed in a synthetic polyester called spunbond, creating pockets. Due to their special design, they minimise motion disturbance, allowing you to move around at night without disturbing your partner. Some spring mattresses are available in boxed and rolled options, and the rolling process does not affect the spring matrix. You receive the same comfort and support as any other spring mattress.
Natural mattresses use natural fillings such as cotton, wool, silk, cashmere, and bamboo instead of synthetic materials or polymers. They keep you cool and dry throughout the night without compromising on lifespan. These mattresses come in luxurious, snuggly designs that can be boxed and rolled without damaging the fibres. It takes 24 hours for the mattresses to regain their original shape naturally after being allowed to lay flat. All mattresses are available in various sizes, including single, double, king, super king, small double, and European kings.
What are the benefits of roll up mattress?
Roll up mattresses offer several benefits. They are rolled and vacuum-packed into a cylindrical shape, making transportation easier. This packing style makes the transportation of mattresses super easy and convenient. Once unrolled and left to breathe, the roll-up mattresses retain their original shape.
Roll-up mattresses are also helpful for those with limited storage space, as they can be easily stored. They are quick and easy to position in the room of your choice. These make them a great option for people who frequently move or have limited space.
Bed-in-box mattresses offer environmental benefits by reducing the fuel used during delivery, resulting in a small carbon footprint. The plastic packaging used for vacuum packaging can be recycled using flexible plastic. These reasons make them eco-friendly and conscious choices for minimising environmental impact.
If you plan to dispose of your old mattress when ordering a new one, you can use our mattress recycling service for a hassle-free solution.
FAQs about Rolled Up Mattresses
A rolled up mattress is a type that manufacturers specially design to roll and vacuum pack in a box, rather than delivering it flat like a traditional mattress. Customers are increasingly choosing this type of mattress due to its affordability and easy transportation.
We commonly refer to rolled-up mattresses as bed in box, mattress in a box, vacuum packed, pre-rolled, roll-out, and rolling mattresses. All these names refer to the same type of mattress.
Overall, rolled up mattresses are a great option for those looking for a comfortable and affordable mattress that is easy to transport.
Rolled mattresses and normal mattresses are essentially the same, with the only difference being in their delivery method. Rolled mattresses undergo vacuum-packing and rolling processes during manufacturing, making delivery more convenient. This vacuum packing process does not compromise the mattress’s quality, ensuring you can expect the same level of comfort as a traditional mattress. Furthermore, the vacuum-packing process guarantees you a completely fresh mattress, providing an additional benefit.
You can flatten a rolled up mattress using small pillows between the mattress and the bed frame. These pillows will help redistribute the pressure and allow the mattress to return to its original shape. Remember that it may take up to 24 hours for the mattress to regain its original form fully, depending on your mattress type.
Unpacking a rolled mattress is a super easy task. Let me guide you through the process:
- Carefully remove the mattress from the box.
- Place the mattress on your bed.
- Use scissors to open the packaging slowly.
- Unroll the mattress.
- Allow the mattress to expand overnight. It usually takes around 8 hours to regain its original shape.
- Once the mattress has fully expanded, it is ready to use, and you can enjoy a good night's sleep!
When you receive a rolled mattress, it may take 1-2 hours to regain shape. However, in some cases, it may take up to 24 hours to fully recover to its usual form.
Use the mattress only when it has regained its original shape to prevent body aches and ensure your spine is properly aligned while sleeping. It is important to check the manufacturer's guidelines for how long you should leave the rolled mattress before using it.
Roll-up mattresses can last for eight to ten years with proper care and maintenance. In the case of a new rolled-up box, you can keep them in the box for up to three months. We recommend unrolling them within the first few weeks of delivery. It will ensure that your mattress remains comfortable and supportive for longer. Rolling it too long can cause potential filings, foam or springs inside to become misshapen or damaged. Therefore, immediately unrolling your mattress is important to avoid damage.
When packing mattresses, we should compress them using a vacuum to reduce their size by approximately 25%. This process does not cause any damage to the mattress. However, the mattress cannot be re-rolled again once you unroll it. Manufacturers design this mattress to withstand compression and ensure it returns to its original shape and size once unpacked.
