FAQ

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

Many cities offer free large-item pickup through municipal trash services once or twice a year. You can search online to find availability and instructions on how to schedule a bulk trash disposal appointment in your area.

Alternatively, many of our customers have successfully used a service called LoadUp to arrange mattress disposal. You can check pricing and schedule a pickup through their website at Mattress Disposal Plus.

Most customers notice little to no smell when unboxing their new mattress. There may be a slight odor from the packaging process, which is completely normal and usually fades within a few hours to a couple of days. For the best results, we recommend letting your mattress fully expand in a well-ventilated room. The smell is not harmful and typically disappears quickly. We use CertiPUR-US certified foams, which are free from harmful chemicals like ozone depleters, formaldehyde, and heavy metals, and are tested for low VOC emissions to minimize off-gassing.
