Anybody have a one of those “mattresses in a box”? My son is just about to outgrow his bed. I already have a frame but there are so many mattress brands now that come in a box, it’s making my head spin ‍♀️

Best answer
I got one from Walmart. com. Seems good so far was only $99. For a 2yr old it’s more than adequate for a long time but not sure how old your kiddo is.

@scoundrelly97473 hahaha my son is 13 and I feel your pain! He's already taller than me and his feet hang off his twin bed. I feel so bad! Totally following this thread!

I got the Walmart one for my 14yo and also one for my son who has a college apartment. They both think it’s great. My son is 6ft and we got him the twin because it fits his apartment better. At home he sleeps on a queen. I have 2 brothers over 6ft and they say their feet always hang off the bed. They would sleep on a diagonal. I catch my son doing that but A twin limits your space.

I bought a queen size Zinus green tea mattress from Amazon. I loved it so much I bought another for my guest room when I had to replace that mattress. It’s the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, but that’s just my personal opinion!

@therapist1310 this is what we have too! Bought a queen loved it so much we upgraded to king and put the queen in my 4 year olds room

@roadblock it is SO comfortable!  
by (1.4k points)
@therapist1310 I looked into these but then saw a lot of people complaining because they use fiberglass in their padding since it’s an approved flame retardant. After several years they said the glass worked its way through liner and really aggravated their skin. I’m glad you’re not having problems yet though
