Pre-Purchase & General
What makes Quality Sleep Direct different?
We curate quality mattresses in two lines to fit different needs:
- Premium flat-shipped (never compressed) via freight for maximum structure and long-term performance—eligible for our purpose-driven Comfort Exchange.
- Value roll-packed (bed-in-a-box) for easier handling, faster parcel delivery, and a lower price point.
If you use the one-time Comfort Exchange on a Premium mattress, the Quality Sleep Direct mattress from your original order is donated to a local charity—helping a family in need and keeping waste out of landfills. QSD does not remove or donate any pre-existing mattress you owned before your purchase.
Do you have a showroom I can try mattresses in?
We’re an online-only retailer. This keeps prices lower and makes delivery simpler. For Premium models, our Comfort Exchange offers a one-time option if the feel isn’t right after you’ve tried it at home.
Are your mattresses roll-packed like a bed-in-a-box?
Premium mattresses are not roll-packed; they ship flat by freight.
Value mattresses are roll-packed and ship in a compact box via UPS/FedEx.
How do I choose the right mattress?
- Sleep position: side → plusher; back/stomach → medium to firmer support.
- Body profile: more weight → more support; lighter body → allow some plush for pressure relief.
- Feel preferences: latex = buoyant/cool; memory foam = contouring; hybrid = balanced.
Tip: if deciding between two firmness levels, most people are happier going slightly firmer, as comfort layers break in over ~30 nights.
Do you sell foundations, bases, or bedding accessories?
Yes. We offer a selection of mattress foundations, adjustable bases, and bedding accessories to complete your setup. Please note that accessories are final sale and are not eligible for exchange or return.
Materials & Certifications
What materials are used in your mattresses?
We carry a curated mix of memory foam, hybrid innerspring, and natural latex models from trusted manufacturers across both lines. All mattresses meet U.S. safety and quality standards.
Are your mattresses organic or eco-friendly?
Some models use natural or organic components (e.g., latex, cotton). Check each product page for certifications. All models meet or exceed federal safety standards.
Do your mattresses meet fire safety standards?
Yes. All mattresses we sell meet or exceed U.S. federal flammability standards (16 CFR 1632 & 1633). Compliance is required for every model we carry.
Will my mattress sleep hot?
Many of our hybrid and latex models are designed with airflow and cooling features. Look for breathable covers, gel-infused comfort layers, or open-coil designs if temperature regulation is a priority.
Will my mattress have an odor when it arrives?
Premium Because these ship flat, not compressed, you typically won’t experience strong off-gassing. A light “new product” scent is normal and dissipates with ventilation.
Value Roll-packed models may have a temporary “new mattress smell” from compression and packaging. Ventilate the room and allow 24–72 hours for full expansion.
Sizes & Compatibility
What sizes do you offer?
Standard U.S. sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King. We also carry a few models in RV Bunk, RV Short Queen, and RV Short King. Please contact Customer Support about custom sizes.
Do you offer RV or custom sizes?
Yes. We have a small selection of RV models, and custom sizes are available on select models. Please contact customer support with your dimensions and preferred mattress type.
Do I need a box spring?
No. Use a sturdy foundation, slatted frame (typically slats ≤ 3" apart), platform bed, or an adjustable base per the manufacturer’s specs.
Will my foundation or bed frame affect the warranty?
Yes—using proper support is required by manufacturers. Slats should typically be ≤ 3" apart with a center support for Queen and larger. Adjustable bases and platform beds are usually acceptable if they support the mattress evenly.
If you’re unsure, email a photo of your setup to [email protected] and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Are your mattresses compatible with adjustable bases?
Yes—most models are adjustable-base friendly. Look for “adjustable base compatible” on the product page or contact us if you’re unsure.
Checkout & Payments
What payment methods do you accept?
Major credit/debit cards, Affirm financing, and (optionally) PayPal at checkout.
You’ll see available financing options and terms during checkout before you place your order.
Do you offer financing?
Yes—Affirm offers monthly payments (approval and terms depend on your credit). You’ll see available plans and your exact terms at checkout before you place your order.

Will I be charged sales tax?
We currently collect sales tax in Georgia. If that changes, we’ll update the checkout automatically.
Can I change or cancel my order?
If you need to change or cancel, please contact us right away at [email protected]. Orders may be canceled only if they have not yet entered production. Once a mattress has left the manufacturer or warehouse, cancellations are not possible and freight/parcel fees may apply.
Accessories and smaller items may ship quickly, so contact us as soon as possible if you need to make a change.
Can I price match?
We work hard to offer competitive pricing every day. If you see an identical item in stock from an authorized dealer, email [email protected]—we’ll review it.
Do you offer coupon codes or discounts?
We occasionally offer coupon codes on specific models or during special promotions. When available, the code will be shown on the product page or through an authorized promotion.
Enter the coupon code at checkout to apply the discount. Only one code may be used per order.
We may introduce exclusive discounts (e.g., military, first responder, or student) in the future. If offered, details will appear on this page.
Why was my order flagged for verification?
To protect customers, some orders may require a quick verification (for example, when the billing and shipping addresses differ). If needed, we’ll email you right away—orders don’t ship until verification is complete.
Shipping & Delivery
Where do you deliver?
We deliver across the contiguous U.S. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or international addresses. Extra lead time or fees may apply in remote areas.
Can I choose my delivery day and time?

Value (parcel): UPS/FedEx deliveries follow standard routes—no appointment or scheduling.
If you miss a scheduled freight delivery, a redelivery fee may apply.
How are mattresses delivered?

How long does delivery take?
Premium: Most arrive in 2–4 weeks depending on location and freight scheduling.

Do holidays or weather affect delivery timelines?
Yes—carrier networks can experience delays during peak seasons or severe weather. We’ll share updates if we’re notified by the carrier.

- Twin/Twin XL: 40–70 lbs
- Full: 60–90 lbs
- Queen: 80–120 lbs
- King/California King: 100–150 lbs

Can I track my order?
Yes. We’ll email tracking info when your order ships. Freight carriers (Premium) will also call/text to set an appointment.
Will I need to sign for delivery?
Premium: Freight deliveries typically require an adult signature at the scheduled time.
Value: No signature required in most areas; standard UPS/FedEx parcel delivery.
What if I live in a walk-up or have limited access?
Premium: Standard freight is curbside. For in-room setup or stair carries, select white-glove at checkout (where available). Fees may apply.
Value: Parcel deliveries are to your door; you carry the box inside and set up.
What should I do at delivery?
- Inspect the packaging and product. If there’s visible damage, and you are not going to keep the item, DO NOT ACCEPT THE DELIVERY.
- For concealed damage discovered after delivery, email photos to [email protected] within 24 hours.
After Delivery
Is there a break-in or expansion period?
Premium: Allow 30 nights for your body and comfort layers to adjust.
Value: Allow 24–72 hours for full expansion after unboxing; comfort continues to settle over the first 30 nights.
Do I need to keep the packaging?
Premium: No. Exchanges (Premium only) use our donation-first approach—you won’t need the original carton. Keep your order info and donation receipt if you request an exchange.
Value: Packaging can be recycled or discarded once you’re happy with the product.
Do you remove my old mattress?
No — removal of an existing mattress is the customer’s responsibility.
Quality Sleep Direct’s standard freight delivery does not include removal or disposal of old mattresses. Customers are responsible for arranging proper disposal or donation of any mattress they already own.
