Mattresses

  • What makes Malouf different than other mattress brands?

    We use our 20 years of experience to design innovative and high-quality mattresses—backed by a 100-day sleep trial and 10-year warranty. You can rest assured that as a Certified B Corporation®, we strive to make a deeper impact with every sale, and a portion of proceeds supports survivors of sexual violence and exploitation.

  • What is the best type of mattress for me?

    This is dependent on preference. It is important to note that a mattress feel isn't limited to these two categories. There are a variety of options available to you based on your sleep style and personal preference. Typically, side sleepers or those with back pain opt for a more plush option, while those who sleep on their back or stomach will prefer a firmer mattress.

  • What is the difference between a hybrid and an all-foam mattress?

    An all-foam mattress is made with (you guessed it) all foam. It create a consistent, sink-in feel many sleepers love. A hybrid mattress combines traditional innersprings with foam comfort layers. Hybrid designs offer more support and may last longer than all-foam mattresses.

  • How long will my mattress last?

    Mattresses typically last between 7-10 years, however there are many variables that influence the longevity of your mattress. We recommend using a mattress protector to help extend the life of your mattress.

  • What size mattress do I need?

    The best size mattress for each person depends on a variety of factors—room size, who will be sleeping in the bed, etc. A Split King is very popular as both you and your partner can control your own side of the bed when paired with an adjustable base. You can view our mattress size guide or mattress comparison chart to learn more.

  • Will my mattress work with an adjustable bed base?

    Yes. All Malouf mattresses are made to be compatible with an adjustable bed base for optimal comfort. They work with any flat foundation without the need for a box spring. Simply place your base directly on an adjustable base, flat frame, or upholstered platform base.

  • How does your 100-night sleep trial work?

    When initiating a return for a Malouf™ mattress, there are a few important guidelines to keep in mind. Firstly, request a return within 100 days of delivery. But, before initiating a return, we ask that you sleep on it for at least 30 days so you can adjust to the new mattress. If after this period you are still not satisfied with your purchase, you may initiate a return. To receive a full refund, you must have the receipt and warranty documentation for the mattress purchase AND you must use a mattress protector during the 100-day trial period. To return an online purchase, send us an email at info@maloufhome.com

  • Will my mattress come in a box?

  • Which adjustable bed base is right for me?

    The type of adjustable base that's best for you is dependent on your preference and what features you're looking for.

View our comparison chart to see the differences and decide which base is best for you.

  • What is zero clearance?

    Zero clearance means that your adjustable base will rest flat on the existing bed frame without the legs attached to it. If you are using an upholstered bed frame that has drawers, you'll need a zero-clearance base, so the legs don't sit inside the drawers. All Malouf adjustable bed bases can function in zero clearance mode.

    Zero gravity raises your head and feet to put you in a neutral sleeping position for deeper, more restorative sleep. It is defined as a state of weightlessness and can provide ultimate comfort for sleeping, watching TV, or relaxing in bed.

    The E255 has a 750-pound weight limit. The M455 and S655 both have 850-pound weight limits.

  • Will my mattress slide off when I elevate my head?

    All Malouf adjustable bases come with retainer bars that sit at the foot of the mattress to ensure it stays in place. As you elevate and adjust your base, your mattress will flex and move based on the position you are selecting but will not move off your bed.

    Memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are usually the best choice to use with an adjustable bed base, as they are flexible enough to move with your base. All Malouf mattresses are made to be compatible with an adjustable bed.

  • Are adjustable bases difficult to setup?

    Setup is easy and can be done in less than 15 minutes per base. We recommend having two people when setting up your base so it can easily be flipped right side up.

  • How do I control my adjustable bed base?

    Each Malouf adjustable bed base comes with a sleek remote that allows you to control the way you sleep. The M455 and S655 have Bluetooth® compatibility and can be used with the Malouf Base™ app so you can enjoy features like hands-free Siri voice commands and automatic snore detection.
