The ALDI 'mattress-in-a-box' comes deoxygenated and enclosed in vacuum sealed packaging, that allows them to be boxed up and easily transported.
According to Australian consumer advocacy organisation CHOICE, sales of bed-in-a-box mattresses have been steadily increasing in recent years, with companies such as Koala, Emma and Sleeping Duck leading the market.

But just because the mattresses come in non-traditional packaging, does not mean they are any less comfortable.
The CHOICE website said some of their reviews in the past had found mattress-in-a-box products to be superior to standard retail mattresses.
According to CHOICE, the ALDI product constitutes good value as it is at least several hundred dollars less expensive than the cheapest bed-in-a-box mattresses the organisation has reviewed.
But, as CHOICE has never evaluated the ALDI product, they could not comment on its overall quality.
