Why a bed in a box falls short of quality comfort
Can a bed in a box offer the same long-lasting comfort, quality, and value as a Luxara? Our years of experience tells us no.
We believe that any mattress that can be compressed, rolled, and stuffed into a small box simply can't compare to the quality and durability of a premium mattress delivered intact
Don't believe us? Just take a look at what a bed in a box goes through in a compression machine before you've even had a chance to sleep on it.
5 things that can happen to a mattress when it's compressed & stuffed into a box
Shipping a mattress in a small box and leaving it on your doorstep is designed to benefit the mattress company's bottom line, not your long-term comfort.
Before considering a bed in a box, here are some things you should know about what compressing, folding and rolling can do to the inside of your mattress.
It can compromise health and safety
Chemical off-gassing occurs when mattresses are unboxed and release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air causing a chemical-like smell, which can lead to health risks.
It can break down the foam
Some brands use less dense foams to be able to compress their beds. Some of the foam's cells can break when compressed, reducing its overall lifespan.
It can destroy the springs
Some brands use thinner springs to be able to compress. When folded and rolled, the center row can be destroyed or compromised, reducing the mattress lifespan even more.
It can compromise back support
The center third of a mattress is where most of your body weight lies. Folding a mattress can compromise that crucial area, which can lead to aches and pains.
It can reduce the lifespan of the mattress
This can mean having to replace your mattress sooner. What starts out like a great deal can end up costing you more in the long run.
Fun fact: Luxara mattresses use thicker recycled steel springs that are so strong, they’d actually break a compression machine!

Luxara vs. internet mattresses
Luxara aren’t like other internet mattresses. They’re not Chinese made foam beds that can be compressed into boxes and stored for months and years. Our mattresses are manufactured to order in Australia and delivered by hand. That means they are freshly made and don’t sit in storage.
