Explore Our Range of Rolled Mattresses
Rolled mattresses (also called roll-up mattresses or bed in a box) combine modern design with ultimate convenience. Each mattress is expertly compressed, vacuum-packed, and sealed into a compact package, then delivered straight to your door. This process not only protects your new mattress during transport, but also makes moving it into your bedroom or guest room easy, even in a small home or a house with less space and awkward access.
Our selection features all standard UK mattress sizes, including single, double, king, and super king. Whether you’re upgrading your main bed or need something practical for a spare room or children’s bedroom, a rolled mattress fits the bill.
Brands and Types in Stock
At Simply Beds UK, we stock leading rolled mattress brands such as Nectar, Rolled2Go, and more. The most popular types include memory foam mattresses that mould to your shape for superb support and pressure relief, hybrids that combine memory foam with pocket springs for balanced comfort and breathability, and pocket sprung mattresses that offer targeted support and reduced motion transfer. If you prefer the classic contouring feel, explore our memory foam mattresses.
From soft and medium to firm and extra firm, there’s a roll-up mattress to match your preferred firmness and sleep style. Many come with next-day delivery or express 7–10 day lead times so you can get your new mattress delivered with no fuss.
What Is a Rolled Mattress?
A rolled mattress is compressed using a specialist technique, vacuum packed, and sealed in plastic packaging before being boxed for transit. This delivery method means your mattress arrives in a box or compact package and regains its shape once opened and unrolled at home. Traditional mattresses require more space and often need two people to move, making rolled alternatives an ideal, stress-free solution.
How it works in practice is simple: your mattress is compressed and rolled to a portable shape, then vacuum-packed and placed in a recyclable box. Move the box to your desired room, ideal for rooms with awkward access. Unbox it, remove the plastic packaging, and leave it to fully expand and settle.
Most memory foam mattresses will fully expand within four hours, while hybrid or latex mattresses may take a day or occasionally up to 72 hours to regain their full shape. Rolled mattresses are available in all standard UK bed sizes, including king and super king, making them a perfect choice for any house or flat.
Key Benefits of Rolled Mattresses
Rolled mattresses are designed for people who value convenience, comfort, and versatility. Their compact packaging makes transport and delivery easy, fitting into most cars and navigating small spaces or staircases without fuss. The bed-in-a-box approach means a single-handed set-up is realistic, especially in smaller homes. Many options offer next-day or express delivery, so you are not waiting weeks. The lighter, compact design suits guest rooms and children’s bedrooms, and a wide choice of materials and firmness levels helps you match back, side, or combination sleeping styles. There are environmental gains too because more mattresses fit in a delivery van, which reduces emissions, and the plastic and cardboard packaging is fully recyclable.
Rolled mattresses are also often more affordable than traditional models, delivering the same level of comfort and support for less.

How to Unpack and Set Up a Rolled Mattress
- Move the box to your desired room.
- Gently open the cardboard packaging, then the vacuum-sealed plastic packaging.
- Unroll the mattress onto your bed base.
- Let it fully expand, memory foam typically expands in 4–8 hours; hybrids may take up to three days.
- Wait for any 'new mattress' odour to dissipate. This is normal and will disappear within 24–48 hours.
You can usually sleep on your mattress the same day, but for firm or hybrid mattresses, waiting a few hours allows them to fully regain their shape and comfort.
Are Rolled Mattresses Right for You?
Choosing between a traditional and a rolled mattress comes down to convenience, space, and future usage. Rolled mattresses offer easy transportation and quick delivery, which suits homes with limited access or anyone needing a mattress delivered fast. Traditional mattresses can be heavier to move, yet they may last longer and sometimes provide better edge support.
Rolled mattresses are the perfect solution if you want a high-quality, supportive, and comfortable mattress with minimal stress and easy transport. If you are prioritising delivery flexibility, guest room solutions, or regular moving, rolled mattresses make the ideal choice.
