Big Lots Mattress Reviews

Big Lots Specifics

Big Lots is known for big discounts on a variety of home furnishings and decor. However, over the years, they have expanded into affordable and moderately priced name-brands like mattresses from Serta and Sealy.

With same-day delivery for some options, Big Lots has been betting on the convenience factor, which can't be overlooked for customers. However, there are some mixed reviews from customers overall. While there are good reports of initial comfort for many of these options, there are some reports of durability issues with some describing quicker than expected sagging in some cases. For those looking for longer sleep trials and competitively priced alternatives, see our Top Rated Mattresses for the Money.

Quality of MaterialsBig Lots' may vary somewhat by location due to their mission of overstocked and bulk discounted products. However, their website provides up-to-date inventory information for their nationwide stores, which is convenient for shoppers looking for immediate offerings. These mattress builds focus on budget-friendly convenience with all-foam, pocket spring hybrid, and mattress-in-a-box offerings.

With options from household names like Sealy and Serta, we'll go through Big Lots' options below. Here are the details:Serta

Serta is well-known for its iComfort and Perfect Sleeper mattress collections that offer hybrid pocketed coil mattresses. At Big Lots, you'll mostly find Perfect Sleeper mattresses, such as their iCollection line. These mattresses feature innerspring and pocketed coil mattress designs for optimal spinal support and offer different firmness options for those that are side, stomach, or back sleepers. Additionally, they offer their convenient Stay mattress-in-a-box offering, in both a gel memory foam and hybrid offering. Customers like these mattresses initially, but there are some sagging complaints.Sealy

Sealy is another popular mattress brand that sells discount mattresses at Big Lots. Their Sealy classic line offers traditional innerspring mattress designs with slim layers of foam comfort for very affordable prices but with mixed scores on comfort from customers. They also offer their mid-grade Posturepedic line with multiple firmness options and more moderate prices. These have pocket springs and thicker gel foam layers, along with zoned coil support. Also, they offer their LaZe mattress-in-a-box, which has an all-foam design, cooling gel memory foam, and an affordable price. While these mattresses get good ratings for initial comfort, there are some issues with degrading over a shorter than average period.

Broyhill is a Sealy brand with an ultra-plush offering at Big Lots. The mattress offers a pillow top design with SealySupport gel memory foam that is zoned to cradle the hips and shoulders. Customers like the ultra plush feel at first, but there are some complaints about durability issues after only a few months.Coolsense

The Coolsense mattress-in-a-box provides 3'' of NUGEL infused memory foam, which aims to sleep cooler than traditional foams. Beneath this layer is 7'' of support foam. For below $500 for a queen, these mattresses are truly budget-friendly with good initial comfort ratings. However, there are some complaints about heat retention and some rare complaints about losing support over time.

Overall Comfort
One of the things Big Lots does really well is initial comfort. Customers mostly report happy sleep for the first few months. However, there are some issues with sagging and durability for many of these mattresses.

FirmnessAnother area that Big Lots does well is providing plenty of firmness options. Serta and Sealy mattresses offer a wide range of firmnesses from plush (soft) to firm, and Broyhill offers an ultra-plush selection.

Back Pain Relief
Although some folks have mentioned that they have good comfort and pain relief initially, there are some reports from customers of increased discomfort because of sagging and durability problems. If a mattress sags or breaks down, it can cause more spinal alignment issues that increase pain.

Cooling
There are some mixed reviews about heat retention in some models. Although, most of the hybrid and innerspring options have good reports of low heat retention, there are some reports of warm sleeping in some models. See our top mattresses for warm sleepers for alternatives.
