When you think of a mattress in a box, what comes to mind? If you're picturing a budget option with limited durability, you're not alone. The concept of a ‘Mattress in a Box’ doesn’t traditionally have the best reputation. But that’s changing. Here at teddy, we create mattresses that redefine the game, offering luxury and durability without the hefty price tag. Let’s dive into how teddy’s innovative approach is shaking up the New Zealand mattress market.
The Rise of teddy’s Mattresses in a Box
First things first, why are teddy’s mattresses in a box so popular? It’s simple—convenience and quality. As more Kiwis embrace online shopping, the demand for products that combine ease with excellence has skyrocketed. teddy’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) model has tapped into this trend, delivering top-notch mattresses straight to your door without the fuss of a showroom visit. No need to wrestle a bulky mattress through your front door or strap it precariously to your car roof. Instead, your new bed arrives neatly packed in a box, ready to unfurl into a sleep sanctuary.
But wait a minute—just because it comes in a box, does that mean it’s a downgrade from traditional mattresses? Absolutely not. Let’s bust that myth right now.
Debunking the “Cheap and Inferior” Myth
There’s a common misconception that boxed mattresses are somehow inferior to their showroom counterparts. Maybe it’s the idea that something so easily shipped can’t possibly hold up over time. But here’s the thing—teddy’s mattresses are anything but cheap. They’re the result of cutting-edge manufacturing processes and carefully sourced materials, ensuring you get the best of both worlds: affordability and quality.
So, why the misconception? It all boils down to a lack of understanding about how box mattress companies operate. Let’s peel back the layers and see how teddy delivers high-end comfort at a price that won’t keep you up at night.
Understanding teddy’s Direct-to-Consumer Model
Mattresses cost a lot. However, It’s not just the materials —it’s the markup at every stage of the supply chain. From manufacturers to wholesalers to retailers, each middleman takes a cut, driving up the price before it even reaches your home. But teddy does things differently.
With teddy’s direct-to-consumer model, the middlemen are cut out entirely. That means the mattresses go straight from the factory to you, with no additional markups. So really, the lower price doesn’t have anything to do with a decrease in quality or materials, it’s actually the opposite! By cutting down on renting showrooms and large sales commissions, teddy can invest more in the quality of the mattress itself.
Beyond price, this DTC model also means convenience. By selling directly to consumers, teddy can offer a seamless online shopping experience, complete with detailed product information, customer reviews, and doorstep delivery. It’s a win-win situation—better prices for you, and a streamlined business model for teddy.
Innovative Manufacturing Processes at teddy
You might be wondering, what makes teddy’s mattresses so special compared to other mattress-in-a-box businesses? It’s all in the manufacturing. Teddy uses state-of-the-art technology and innovative processes to craft mattresses that are as durable as they are comfortable.
Take, for example, the rigorous testing each mattress undergoes. Teddy’s mattresses are put through the wringer—literally—to ensure they stand the test of time. Whether it’s testing for sagging, pressure relief, or edge support, every mattress is designed to provide long-lasting comfort. In fact, we’re so confident of the quality that we offer extended warranties from five to ten years depending on your mattress choice.
High-Quality Materials Used in teddy’s Boxed Mattresses
At teddy, we use the highest quality materials. Here are a few different mechanisms you’ll find in our mattresses:
- NATURFLEX™ is infused into teddy’s Memory Foam to blend nature with sleep science. This material eliminates odours, absorbs moisture, regulates temperature, and contours your body for optimal support. It’s REACH Certified and CertiPUR-US® registered, ensuring safety for you and the environment. You can find this state-of-the-art foam in our idream mattress.
- ZoneScape™ 5 Zone and Airflow Foam Technology: teddy’s 5 Zone Technology provides targeted support to key areas of your body, promoting proper posture and reducing motion transfer. The integrated airflow channels keep you cool by circulating air through the mattress, ensuring a comfortable sleep all night long.
- Hybrid Micro-Coil System: teddy’s Hybrid Micro-Coil System, featured in our idream Elite, offers personalised support with responsive micro-coils that adapt to your movements, ensuring a peaceful, undisturbed sleep experience.

No matter your choice, teddy’s mattresses are designed to offer superior comfort, support, and longevity—qualities you might not expect from a mattress that arrives in a box.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
There’s another layer to teddy’s value proposition—environmental sustainability. Traditional mattress delivery can be a logistical nightmare, often requiring multiple trips and oversized vehicles. But teddy’s boxed mattresses are compact and efficient to ship, reducing the carbon footprint associated with delivery.
Additionally, teddy uses sustainable packaging materials, further minimising environmental impact. It’s a greener choice that doesn’t compromise on quality or comfort. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to feel good about their purchase, knowing it’s better for the planet?
