This video shows how to fold and roll up a memory foam mattress (it’s a similar process for a mattress with pocket coils). It is a very interesting process that not a lot of people think about when they purchase a memory foam mattress.

For those looking for a tutorial on how to do this at home – they are unfortunately out of luck. It’s not possible to fit a mattress back in that little box without one of these big fancy machines.

For those looking to return a mattress, they should make sure to contact the company from where they purchased it – most of the time they don’t expect the person to actually return the mattress, but rather will arrange for someone to come pick it up from someone’s house for recycling or donation.

Thanks to Brentwood Home for letting me see the factory and take this footage!

About Author

Joe is the founder of Mattress Clarity and has been reviewing mattresses and other sleep products for more than five years. Joe knows a lot about mattresses, having tested more than 100 personally. Through his experience, he has developed a straightforward and practical approach to making mattress recommendations.

Joe does not believe there is one best mattress for everyone and that a more tailored approach is often the most helpful to mattress shoppers. He tries to make clear what types of sleepers a particular mattress would be good for. He also notes what considerations people should make when looking at a particular type of bed.

His extensive knowledge of mattresses, and the mattress industry, has garnered him some media attention. He’s been interviewed and featured in several online publications, including Inc.om, Business Insider, New York Magazine, Huffington Post, and Forbes.

Thanks to his expertise, Joe has tested countless approaches to improving his own sleep quality. He has two top sleep tips that he’s benefitted from personally. He limits his caffeine consumption to 100 mg a day and meditates for 15 minutes daily.

Joe has an undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University and an MBA from Columbia University, where he studied entrepreneurship.

When he isn’t reviewing mattresses, Joe loves to play classical piano, read fiction and non-fiction, and travel.
