Blog > Want a Cheap Mattress in NYC? Here’s Where to Look 2025
When shopping for a mattress, you want to make the best choice possible based on your needs. Many things need to be considered before you take home the newest addition to your bedroom, like materials, size, and perhaps most importantly price. Many think the more expensive a mattress is, the better. A decade ago, that might have been the case. Now, online-only mattress stores, direct-to-consumer companies, and an influx of cost-effective options have hit the market expanding our options. Mattresses show that sometimes you don’t always get what you pay for.
Shopping for a mattress in New York City presents its own set of challenges. Transporting a mattress into a 1 bedroom apartment on a cramped city block or trying to get a king-size mattress into a walk-up apartment is difficult even for the most seasoned movers. Cheaper mattresses such as those sold online or a “bed in a box” are compressed and shipped to your door, cutting out the middleman and delivering straight to the customer. Purchasing a mattress online without trying it in person can be risky. However, most online mattress companies have generous trial and return policies so you can find the perfect mattress.
If you’re in New York City or the surrounding areas, visit our mattress store in Manhattan NY.

The mattress that started the bed-in-a-box revolution is a trailblazer for a reason. One of the most popular and recognizable names in the modern mattress industry, Casper revolutionized how we buy and manufacture mattresses.

The mattress that started it all contains four layers of combination foam construction, including open-cell, adaptive transition, responsive, and support core foams. The structure and combination of the various foams blend seamlessly for pain relief and improved sleep.
Open-cell foam provides cooling and air circulation while responsive memory foam provides support. Transition and support foam helps add bounce and even weight distribution. The all-around perfect mattress lives up to Casper’s promise of “the best bed for better sleep.”

This trendy mattress was one of the first “mattresses in a box” to hit the market. This innovation changed how we shop for mattresses. Developed by two former software engineers, the Tuft & Needle Mint is made from the company’s trademark Adaptive Foam known as T&N Adaptive Foam. Tuft & Needle mattresses are made with chemical-free materials that draw heat away from the body during sleep to keep you cool and comfortable all night long. The Tuft & Needle Mint contains two layers of Adaptive Foam designed to relieve pressure on the hips, back, and shoulders.
Along with the Adaptive Foam, The Mint also has ceramic, cooling gel beads in the second layer of the mattress that absorbs body heat while graphite pulls heat away from the body. The foam helps reduce motion transfer for those sleeping with a partner, ensuring restful sleep. The graphite, heat-absorbing gel beads, and the breathable knit cover create an ultra-cool and luxurious mattress guaranteed to help you stay cool and sleep deeply while keeping your wallet full.

When shopping for a mattress, price isn’t always an indicator of a quality product. New technology and improved manufacturing have led to cheaper prices and more advanced materials. Buying a mattress is a big purchase, even when the price is much lower than traditional mattresses.
Since we spend about a third of our lives sleeping, make sure the mattress you purchase fits your sleep needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Here are a few things to look for:
It’s difficult to get around New York City on a regular day. If you’ve moved in or out of New York, you know the unique challenges that come with transporting your belongings on narrow streets with limited parking and crowded spaces. Buying a mattress or another large item presents the same challenges. However, the new bed-in-a-box style mattresses allow for much easier moving, mailing, and installation. The foam materials collapse and expand for easy transportation.
If you’re making the switch from a traditional mattress to a more affordable bed-in-a-box, be aware that in New York City residents are subject to a $100 fine for improper mattress disposal. Visit the city office’s website for more information on how to dispose of mattresses in New York City.
Like almost everything else in our lives, mattresses have been positively impacted by the advent of technology. The lower prices, advanced materials, and improved manufacturing practices have led to more affordable options for mattresses. This allows people to experience the luxury of a quality mattress and reap the benefits of improved sleep and health.
