Our verdict

Relax the Back is a US furniture brand whose 10 year mattress warranty and free delivery suit buyers replacing a bed and other pieces in one order. Queen prices sit mid-table, so the pitch is cover and range rather than the lowest entry cost, and shoppers wanting a longer trial should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A 10 year warranty on the mattress, a long cover term for a product that has to hold its shape.
  • Free delivery is included, and the World LM office chair lists 0 weeks for delivery.
  • An in-home trial of 90 days lets a foam mattress be slept on properly before a decision.
  • The range spans armchairs, beds and bed frames, so a bed, an armchair and a desk can all come from one maker.
  • Firmness is offered as soft, medium and firm, giving foam and hybrid buyers a choice of feel.

Cons

  • Assembly included is listed as no, so beds, chairs and desks arrive without a build service and the setup is left to the buyer.
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so a delivery or warranty question has to go in writing.
  • The 30 night mattress trial is short against the 60 night typical here.
  • Queen price $5,899 places the brand at 50 of 50 on entry cost, so it is not a budget pick.

Who it suits

  • Shoppers who want one maker for the bedroom and the desk, since armchairs, beds and bed frames all sit under the same name.
  • Sleepers on a foam or hybrid build who want a choice of feel, offered here as soft, medium and firm.
  • Anyone who wants to live with a mattress for a full stretch of nights, with 90 days of in-home trial before deciding.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers after a hybrid only range: blackroll-bnl covers hybrid and nothing beyond it.
  • Buyers whose budget stops at the mattress, since Nectar covers memory foam and hybrid while this brand also carries armchairs, beds and bed frames.

Where it sits among rivals

On queen price, Relax the Back sits at 50 among 50 brands, so a queen here is priced in the middle of the field rather than at the entry end. The trial window is the weaker of the three measures: 57 out of 83 brands give shoppers a longer stretch in the home. Warranty length is the stronger side, at 26 out of 73, which puts long cover well up the table. Read together the three positions describe a brand that is neither the cheapest nor the most cautious, and that leans on the length of the cover rather than on the length of the trial.

What it does well

Every mattress in the range carries a 10 year warranty, a long cover term on a product that has to hold its shape for years. Free delivery is included, so the quoted price is the whole price and nothing is added for shipping at checkout. The Tempur Luxebreeze hybrid stands 33 cm tall, a deeper profile for sleepers who prefer layers above the core. The trial runs 30 nights, so comfort and support get judged over a stretch of nights in a real bedroom rather than a few minutes on a shop floor.

Who runs it

Relax the Back is headquartered in the United States and has been trading since 1984, which makes it one of the longer established names on this list of mattress sellers rather than a recent arrival online. The help centre is the main route for questions, joined by email and chat, and that is what email, chat and help centre covers. It is a narrower set of routes than brands offering a phone line, so anyone who prefers to talk an order through is wise to check the options before buying. What the company details show is scale and staying power, not a wide support desk.

How Relax the Back compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Relax the Back queen mattress cost?+

The Tempur Luxebreeze hybrid queen is $5,899. That price already carries a 10 year warranty and free delivery, so nothing extra is added for shipping. The rest of the furniture range opens lower, with the World LM office chair at $545.

How long is the mattress trial, and can I sleep on it at home?+

The in-home trial runs 90 days, so a mattress can be slept on properly before a decision is made. Returns on the wider range run 30 days, and the mattress trial itself is listed at 30 nights. Longer nights at home make a difference on a foam build.

What types of mattress does Relax the Back sell?+

The range covers memory foam, hybrid and innerspring, so foam buyers and spring buyers are served by the same maker. Firmness is offered as soft, medium and firm, and the Tempur Luxebreeze hybrid stands 33 cm tall for anyone who wants a deeper mattress profile.

How fast is delivery, and do I pay for it?+

Free delivery is included, so nothing is added at checkout for shipping. The World LM office chair lists a delivery time of 0 weeks, which is quick for furniture of that size. The brand is based in the United States, worth keeping in mind if you are ordering from another market.

Is assembly included with the furniture?+

Assembly included is listed as no, so frames, chairs and desks arrive without a build service and the setup is left to the buyer. Made to measure is offered, so sizes can be tailored before the order ships. Anyone who wants help building a bed should plan that step separately.

How do I contact Relax the Back for help?+

Support runs on email, chat and help centre. Questions are handled in writing through the help centre, by email or by chat, with no phone line among the routes listed. If a delivery date or a warranty claim needs a conversation, expect to work through it in writing.

Does Relax the Back sell more than mattresses?+

It does. The catalogue spans armchairs, beds and bed frames, so a bedroom and a home office can be covered by one maker. The World LM office chair is $545 and takes a maximum user weight of 181 kg, which is worth checking for heavier sitters.

How long has Relax the Back been trading?+

The company was founded in 1984 and is based in the United States, so it predates many of the newer names on this list. Age does not guarantee a low price, but it does point to a business that has seen more than one cycle of the mattress market.
