Once upon a time, all mattresses were delivered flat.

(That’s roughly the story, anyway.)

Nectar mattress

Helix mattresses are rolled and boxed, but only for a short period before shipping, so they should inflate quickly

But are they as good as they look, or would a traditional mattress be better?

After all, TechRadar’s #1best mattressis delivered flat (read about that in ourSaatva mattress review).

Also factor in delivery options.

Helix Midnight mattress

Helix mattresses are rolled and boxed, but only for a short period before shipping, so they should inflate quickly

Some bed-in-a-box brands also include this, though often with a fee attached.
