There are several things to keep in mind when shopping for a new mattress. Budget is of course important. But comfort is one of the most important factors. Waking up with chronic pain or stiff back and neck pain are indications that you are sleeping on the wrong type of mattress. Things to consider:
Mattress-in-a-box companies have grown in popularity in recent years. For some, the convenience of shopping online and having a mattress delivered to your door is appealing. Others prefer the experience of going to the store and seeing the mattresses in person, and even laying down on a mattress before buying it. There are pros and cons to both.

Boston mattresses range in price, but you can expect to pay between $669 and $1,595 for a queen-size memory foam mattress, at the time of publishing. If you’re looking for a mattress other than memory foam, here are average costs for different materials in queen size:
| Mattress type | Price range* |
|---|---|
| Latex | $849 to $3,990 |
| Hybrid | $449 to $1,695 |
| Innerspring | $219 to $6,999 |
| Adjustable | $3,145+ |
Many Boston mattress companies offer white-glove delivery service that includes hauling the old mattress away for an additional charge of about $150. Factors affecting the price include mattress size, type, materials and outsourced manufacturing. Most companies offer some type of financing, and discounts may be available for military and seniors.
What brand is the best quality mattress? Top mattress brands include Tempur, Sleep Number and Serta. Increasingly popular mattress-in-a-box brands include Casper, Saatva, Nectar and Purple. All have varying trial periods and warranties.
What is a good mattress at a good price? Pricing varies but, at the time of publishing, you’ll pay an average of $1,050 to $2,050 for a queen mattress in Boston. The good news is that a lot of mattress companies offer trial periods and warranties to help you find the best fit for your sleep type and comfort.
What is the best month to buy a mattress? May is a great time to buy a mattress because the industry typically rolls out new products in June. Many companies clear out inventory of older models in May, so you can find some deals.
How can you get rid of a mattress in Boston? The City of Boston accepts memory foam, innerspring, hybrid, latex and air-bed mattresses and box springs for haul away and recycling. Other types can be placed at the curb for trash collection. Many mattress companies will take away the old mattress if you choose white-glove delivery for, usually, an added fee.
