What kind of mattress is this?

It's a foam and spring mattress. But the industry loves fancy terms, so you might hear it called “hybrid technology”. For details on what's inside, watch our video or visit our Mattress page.

Why do we need another mattress brand?

After shaking up the industry with Tuft & Needle, we watched the market regress far from our original vision of simple, honest mattress shopping. It's frustrating and complicated, flooded with overpriced gimmicks. Enough's enough. So we’re stepping in again. Drawing from our roots and experience, it’s time to go back to what worked: a good mattress, a fair price, no tricks. Just like we did before, but even better. Read more about our story.

Does this mattress contain fiberglass?

No fiberglass. It’s worth checking, though, especially since some brands are now in a rush to remove fiberglass from their beds. Boring never used it, never will. We are using a premium alternative compared to widely available, cheaper options used by others. We pay extra to keep you happy. For details on our fiberglass-free fire barrier, visit our Mattress page.

How is your mattress “different”?

We’ve stripped away the gimmicks. While others focus on fancy sounding materials and complex features, we focus on quality materials, real comfort, and fair pricing. Just a great mattress that does what it’s supposed to do — provide a good night’s sleep.

What's the 365-Night Sleep Trial?

Where are Boring Mattresses made?

All of our Boring mattresses are designed and crafted right here in Arizona using premium, CertiPUR-certified foam and high-quality springs. We work closely with our manufacturing facilities to ensure each mattress is made with care and precision.

Do I need the Boring Topper with the mattress?

The Boring mattress is designed to be perfectly comfortable on its own, but if you're looking for extra plushness, adding a topper can be a great option. With the topper, the mattress shifts from a 6/10 medium-firm feel to a 5/10 medium-plush feel, giving you a little more softness without sacrificing support.

What frames or foundations should I use with the mattress?

Our mattresses are designed to work with a variety of foundations, but for the best sleep experience, we generally recommend a solid, supportive base with slats no more than 5 inches apart. Here are a few options:

  • Platform Bed: A solid, flat surface with slats provides excellent support and doesn’t require a box spring.
  • Adjustable Base: Our mattresses are compatible with most adjustable bases, which can offer added comfort for those who prefer a customizable sleep position.
  • Box Spring: If you prefer a traditional box spring, especially for added height, just ensure it’s in good condition and offers stable support.

If you have a specific frame or foundation in mind, feel free to reach out, and we’d be happy to help confirm it’s a great fit!

When can I expect to receive the mattress?

Most orders ship within 1-2 business days from Arizona. You’ll typically receive your mattress within 3-6 business days depending on your location. We’ll send you tracking details once it’s on its way!

Is the Boring mattress good for side, back, or stomach sleepers?

Yes! The Boring Mattress is designed to be universally comfortable, offering a medium-firm feel that supports side, back, and stomach sleepers alike.

Is the Boring mattress good for hot sleepers?

We’ve designed the Boring mattress with breathability in mind, making it a great option for hot sleepers. Both our Hybrid and All-Foam mattresses incorporate materials that help promote airflow and temperature regulation. The Hybrid's coil base offers natural ventilation, which helps reduce heat buildup, while the All-Foam mattress uses breathable foam layers to allow heat to dissipate. While no mattress is 100% “cooling,” many of our customers who tend to sleep hot have found our mattress to be a significant improvement over others, especially compared to all-foam options without airflow.
