America's best-priced
mattress
Overview
Traditionally, shopping for a new mattress meant leaving the house and heading to your nearest brick and mortar store where you could lay down and listen to pushy salespeople try and sell you the most expensive model on the floor. While that method certainly had the added benefit of allowing you to try the mattress out in person before buying, it was also unrealistic and awkward as you lay there with your shoes uncomfortably hanging off the bed under bright store lights with other customers walking past.
Nowadays, more customers are turning to online, e-commerce shops in order to pick out their perfect mattress which is then shipped directly to their doorstep and can be tested out in the comfort and privacy of their own home. To keep up with modern trends, mattress giant Sealy has created their very own bed-in-a-box model that comes packed with all of the same high-quality features you would expect from a major brand, but without the same hefty price tag or pushy sales pitch.
Cocoon by Sealy is a 10” memory foam mattress that is made from premium materials in order to give you the best sleep of your life. Hassle-free, the Cocoon comes packaged and ready to go in a lightweight and easy to carry box. No more trying to carry your mattress up flights of stairs or navigating tight hallway corners, the Cocoon is the perfect fit both for your home and your lifestyle.
Backed by 130 years of experience, Sealy is committed to providing you with an outstanding experience and has designed their mattress so that it is suitable for virtually all types of sleepers. Available in two firmness options, you will be able to select the perfect balance between comfort and support regardless of what position you tend to sleep in and it can easily be enjoyed by individuals and couples alike. With the Cocoon by Sealy you are getting quality and value rolled up into one convenient design, making it the mattress dreams are made of.
Sizes & Pricing
The Cocoon Classic is a bit limited in terms of which sizes it comes in, although all of the core shapes are available. You won’t find a California King option with this model, nor is there a Split available for the King, but from Twin to King you are covered. Instead of creating a range of added sizes that few people ever purchase anyway, Sealy has opted to provide customers with two firmness options so that they can get the perfect fit that suits their preferences.
Regardless of whether you choose Soft or Firm pricing will remain the same, and in comparison to the average memory foam mattress, the Cocoon Classic from Sealy is both affordable and packed with value. The average Queen-size all-foam mattress is around $1,000, with some brands charging upwards of $3,000, but here you are getting a premium design for under $1,000.
- Twin $699 USD
- Twin XL $749 USD
- Full $799 USD
- Queen $899 USD
- King $1,199 USD
Included with all purchases is free shipping and delivery as well as a satisfaction guarantee and 100-night sleep trial period. You can even take advantage of one of Sealy's many sales where you can save money and stock up on additional products such as pillows.

Construction
Standing at 10" tall, the Cocoon Classic is a very average height for a typicaly memory foam mattress. Packed within that 10" is three distinct foam layers which do a great job of utilizing various firmness levels and foam densities in order to balance comfort with support regardless.
- Cover
The Cocoon Classic is wrapped in a premium, stretch-knit cover that feels soft to the touch. Being made from spun poly fibers, this cover is also highly breathable and will help wick away moisture throughout the night for a cooler, more comfortable sleep.
- Comfort Layer
For the intended comfort layer, Sealy uses their perfect fit memory foam, a high-quality material that is designed to adapt to the shape of your body no matter what sleep position you enjoy.
- Transitional Layer
Below the perfect fit memory foam is the transitional layer which uses flexible essential support foam. As a high-quality foam, it stands up well to long-term use and will also provide a degree of pressure-relieving support that will leave you waking up feel more refreshed and pain free.
- Base Layer
Rounding out the make-up of the Cocoon Classic, the base layer is where you will find the support foam that gives your mattress its shape and prevents it from sagging over time. Highly durable and resilient, Sealy has also selected a base foam that has a decent amount of bounce which you will appreciate when switching positions or getting up in the morning.
Rating
When discussing all-foam mattresses people can be torn; with some enjoying how much they can sink down into them, and others feeling like they are being sucked into quicksand each night. To give customers the best of both worlds, Sealy reduced the height of the initial comfort later and increased the height of the transitional layer which has resulted in an initial sinkage followed by immediate support.
Because of how well the Cocoon Classic performs in this regard, it is no surprise that customers across the board have loved it and those who have always loved all-foam models, along with those who have been less-than-thrilled with their prior foam beds, find that the Cocoon does offer them the support they need while also enveloping them into a soft, pillow-like foam that contours perfectly to their bodies. And while each person may experience their mattress slightly differently, in general the vast majority of customers love their Cocoon Classic.
- Firmness -- 5.5 / 10 (Soft)
The firmness rating given by Sealy themselves is overall fairly accurate and most customers find that the medium-soft is around a 5 - 6. This is good news for back sleepers, side sleepers, and combo sleepers alike.
- Temperature -- 3 / 5
Those who sleep hot may find that the Cocoon Classic doesn’t do the best job of countering that, and while the stretch-knit cover is highly breathable the following foam layers have a tendency to retain heat. Sealy does have an upgraded model, however, called the Cocoon Chill which is worth looking at if you are specifically after a mattress with cooling properties.
- Pressure Relief -- 4 / 5
Many customers love the way the Cocoon Classic helps to reduce pressure on common points of the body that typically experience pain at night. This should allow you to wake up feeling more refreshed and with less aches and pains than before.
- Motion Isolation -- 4 / 5
Couples will love the medium-soft firmness if they are concerned about motion isolation. This model does a significantly better job at it than other traditional memory foam beds and should allow you to sleep peacefully no matter how active your partner is.
User Reviews
The Sealy brand as a whole has seen a lot of success in their 130+ years of business, so it’s not a surprise that their e-commerce, bed-in-a-box models are just as well received. When looking at the Cocoon Classic in particular, this is hands-down their most popular model and the majority of customers follow up their purchase with a 5-star rating after their sleep-trial period ends.
Consistent in its performance, the Cocoon Classic holds up well long-term and is durable enough to support you night after night, year after year.
