Aldi selling $159 ‘mattress in box’, saving hundreds on rival brands

Aldi are bringing back an item fans have declared “cheaper and more comfortable” than expensive versions that retail as high as $1000.

The German retailer has brought back its ‘mattress in a box’ due to popular demand.

The last time Aldi sold the bedroom item it was snapped up in a matter of minutes and the same is expected to happen again when it lands in stores next week as part of its Special Buys.

The ‘mattress in a box range’ starts from $159 for a single to $299 for a king and is an affordable alternative to other big-name brands that often retail for close to $1000.

“We’ve bought several over the years, quality for cost is fantastic. Have owned expensive mattresses but these are just as good if not better,” one shopper wrote on Instagram recently.
