Advantages of Buying a Boxed Bed from Blvd Home
The Best Purple Mattress Bed in a Box Picks
Bed in a box mattresses have been gaining in popularity over the last 10 years of their manufacture. Although Casper is often credited for making the mattress in a box a nationwide success, the first bed in a box was invented by Bill Bradley, a machinist who wanted to make mattresses more compact for shipping directly to customer homes and founded BedInABox in 2007.
Today, there are more than 200 manufacturers of mattresses that are delivered in a box, but they are not all of comparable quality or materials. The most common boxed mattresses are made of polyurethane memory foam, but higher end models like those from Casper incorporate small coils and other features for a hybrid mattress that offers a bit more support. BlvdHome only offers the highest quality bed in a box options from Purple Mattress.
Boxed beds have traditionally had some disadvantages that steered homeowners clear of these mattresses. However, with Purple Mattresses and Blvd Home service and options, a mattress in a box is a much more reasonable solution. But is a bed in a box mattress right for you? Here are some details of the best bed in a box mattresses from Blvd Home.
Pros and Cons of Bed in a Box
There are many advantages of boxed beds, and while there can be some disadvantages, most of these do not apply to Purple boxed beds from BlvdHome. The biggest advantage of buying a mattress in a box is that you can get a higher quality mattress at a more affordable price. Some bed in a box mattresses are of a lower quality, but major brands, like Purple Mattress, pride themselves on a unique design and high quality materials.
The disadvantage to buying a boxed bed is that you only get a mattress, not a box spring. Today’s beds are typically designed as platform bed frames that do not require a box spring, which is perfect for use with these mattresses. If you have an older bed and are only replacing the mattress, you’ll probably need to get a box spring to make it work.
A commonly perceived disadvantage to boxed beds is that they are made of memory foam, most without any coils for support. Even though memory foam is the traditional and most common bed in a box material, these mattresses aren’t exclusively made of the material. Memory foam is easy to fold and roll, but it doesn’t bounce back as quickly, and it isn’t right for all sleepers.
Materials and construction are just two of the reasons that Blvd Home names Purple Mattresses as the best bed in a box mattress. Purple mattresses are not made of memory foam, but rather have a gel grid core that offers support and durability and can still be folded into a box. They bounce back to their original shape faster and offer better support with a cooling mattress for better sleep.

There are some additional advantages of the best mattress in a box from Blvd Home over ordering online or buying a boxed bed from a big box store. Our staff will accept delivery of your bed in a box queen mattress and unpack it so it can regain its original shape. We then offer white glove delivery and placement of the mattress on your new or existing bed. These services take the hassle out of getting the best bed in a box mattress.
BlvdHome also offers a showroom where you can test out these mattresses before buying. One of the biggest disadvantages to buying a mattress in a box online or from a big box store is that you can’t try it out first. According to Consumer Reports, customers are happier with mattresses they were able to try in store. Even though there are trial periods of up to 100 days, Blvd Home agrees, which is why we have Purple mattresses in our showroom to help you make the best decision.
The Best Purple Mattress Bed in a Box Picks
Unlike traditional boxed beds, Purple mattresses are made of a hyper-elastic material formed around a GelFlex grid. This gives better support than any other mattress in a box. The mattresses offer the flexibility and comfort of memory foam, but sleep cooler and last longer than boxed beds made of lesser materials.
Purple mattresses are also easy on the budget. The average consumer spends between $500 and $2500 on a mattress, and the boxed beds from Purple start at about $1000 for a queen bed in a box. Purple mattresses from Blvd Home range in price between $1000 and $3000, with more expensive luxury models available as well.
Here are our 4 favorite Purple Mattress boxed beds with an option for every home.
Best Purple Firm Bed in a Box: Purple® Hybrid® Firm Queen Mattress in a Box
This hybrid mattress from Purple is an example of a mid-range mattress in a box. Coming in at less than $2600, this luxury mattress uses the GelFlex grid with small innerspring coils and gel foam to create the perfect mattress for someone needing a firm bed. The gel foam and grid cradle your body like memory foam but instantly springs back as soon as you shift your weight. Meanwhile, the small springs covered in noise reducing fabric offer added support.
Best High-End Purple Bed in a Box: Purple® Hybrid Premier 4 Queen Mattress in a Box
This hybrid mattress is the top end of boxed beds from Purple. The Purple 4 mattress has added support and features. This mattress offers weightless support with a mattress thickness of your choosing. These mattresses can be ordered in either 3” or 4” of zero gravity float. This mattress also has the Purple Grid, as well as a base layer of coils for added durability and comfort. The Purple 3 mattress has similar featuers but is an older and therefore less expensive model.
Best Affordable Purple Bed in a Box: Purple® Purple Plus™ Gel Foam Queen Mattress in a Box
This Purple queen mattress is on the more affordable side but has the main features expected from Purple mattresses. The two-inch thick memory foam top combined with gel foam gives support and flexibility while cradling your body as you sleep to reduce pressure points. This mattress still has the gel grid, but the inside looks a bit different than the higher-end models. This mattress is great for almost any budget and gives you a higher quality of sleep.
Best Rated Purple Bed in a Box: Purple® The Purple® Queen Mattress in a Box
The original Purple boxed bed is still popular today, and it runs about $1000 for the budget-friendly bed. This mattress was the first offered by Purple, and the technology used is the foundation on which the two brothers revolutionized the boxed mattress market. This Purple boxed mattress is best for the average sleeper who needs some support and comfort, but doesn’t need the cooling features of higher-end Purple queen mattresses.
Purple mattresses just might be the next big thing on the market. If you prefer the contouring comfort of a memory foam mattress but the support of traditional innerspring beds, Purple beds in a box are a popular alternative. The best way to experience this new sleep technology is in person, and the best place for that is at Blvd Home. Come test it out for yourself today!
Why Trust BlvdHome?

The story of BlvdHome began in 1974, when Lester’s son Tony decided to venture off into the furniture world - with two full-time employees and a small showroom of only 8,000 square feet. Today, BlvdHome has 4 retail locations with over 160,000 sq. ft. of showroom space, located in St. George, Utah, Hurricane, Utah, Cedar City, Utah, Mesquite, Nevada, and a new Las Vegas store coming soon.
