Elephant in a Box EZBed Review

I have never shopped online for a bed, but thanks to Elephant in a Box, I have no qualms about doing so now. Elephant in a Box started with sofas and a Kickstarter campaign, and has now branched into the high quality EZBed.

Setup and Assembly

I was a little skeptical of a bed that comes in a box and how sturdy it would be, not to mention how easy to assemble it would be. The EZBed delivered what was promised. The bed (minus mattress) came in one box, and if you order a headboard as well, that also only comes in one box. It took less than 15 minutes total to set up the EZBed base and headboard, with very easy instructions and a video on their website. I was able to assemble it by myself and it didn’t require any tools, curse words, or bandaids by the end. I have never had a bed that was so easy to put together, and I really wish the Elephant in a Box EZBed had been around before my last move. What was great too was that as easy as it was to open and assemble, it was just as easy to take back apart for easy moving and storage.

Build, Sizes and 2020 Pricing

In the 2020 product materials we reviewed, Elephant in a Box described the bed as using honeycomb technology and supporting up to 8,000 pounds. So, you won’t have to worry about those extra holiday pounds making your bed creak as you get on and off the bed. The bed base, when you open the box, comes in 9 pieces, 8 pieces that make up the structure and one that is the cover. The cover is also able to come off and be washed. The fabric on both the cover and the headboard is soft and comfortable. At the time of this 2020 review, Queen and King sizes were offered, with Charcoal and Grey color options. The headboard is cushioned, and really finishes off the look, giving the bed a classy touch, and in 2020 it was listed at $149; current pricing can change. At the time of this 2020 review, the bed base was listed at $399 and the base-and-headboard total was under $600; current pricing and availability may differ.

Trial and Shipping

In the 2020 product materials we reviewed, Elephant in a Box offered a 30-day trial with free returns. The EZBed does NOT come with a mattress, but with the price of the base and headboard, it leaves room in the budget for a mattress if you don’t have one already. In 2020, Elephant in a Box also advertised free shipping and quick fulfillment. Current product details, shipping, trial terms and availability may differ from what we reviewed in 2020.
