As any parent knows, milestones come fast and unexpectedly.
One moment, your child is sleeping peacefully in their crib, and the next, they’re transitioning into a “big kid” bed, making you wonder where the time went. When it came time to upgrade our three-year-old daughter to a double bed, we wanted something comfortable, supportive, and built to last. But let’s be real—there was no way we were spending a Saturday mattress shopping. Between juggling two kids, two dogs, and everything else life throws at us, the thought of lying on sample beds under the fluorescent lights of a mattress store was a hard pass.
So, after a bit of research (and honestly, hearing everyone talk about it), we landed on Endy. It seemed like the go-to “new age” mattress choice—delivered to your door, great reviews, and, most importantly, no awkward in-store sales pitches.
A Box That Defies Expectations
When the mattress arrived, I had to do a double take. A double bed mattress in a medium-sized box? It seemed impossible. But that’s the magic of modern mattress delivery—it comes vacuum-sealed and compact, making it incredibly easy to carry upstairs to her room. I managed to do it alone, no help needed—I call that a Dad win. Meanwhile, my wife focused on the sheets and pillows we also ordered from Endy, which, to be honest, felt way more luxurious than what we’d gotten for our eldest daughter. But let’s just keep that between us, shall we?
The Unboxing Experience
Once in the room, we placed the box beside her convertible bed frame, ready to witness the transformation. Inside, Endy thoughtfully included a cutter—a small but genius touch that ensured we’d slice through the packaging without accidentally damaging the mattress. Because let’s be honest, nothing ruins the excitement of a new purchase faster than a self-inflicted disaster.
The moment we cut it open, the mattress began expanding immediately, almost like magic. We slid it onto the frame and left it to fully expand, which the instructions said would take about an hour. So, naturally, we took this as an opportunity to catch an episode of our latest Netflix obsession. By the time we returned, the mattress was fully aired out and ready for our little princess—the ultimate judge of whether this mattress was a success or not.
The Moment of Truth
Once we dressed it up with fresh Endy sheets and pillows, it was time for the big reveal. My daughter’s reaction? Pure excitement. She climbed in, tested every inch of her new mattress, and immediately declared it hers. She had no idea she was already experiencing a level of comfort most adults take years to discover.
And let me tell you—it’s comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, that my wife and I started questioning why we were sleeping on a mattress that had been handed down to us from her parents. The Endy mattress felt just as good, if not better than ours.
The True Test—Sleep Time
Would she actually sleep in it? That was the million-dollar question. The first night went better than expected. She slept through the night, cozy and content. And the best part? On the rare nights when she wakes up and wants to be with us for a bit, she eventually asks to be taken back to her bed. If that’s not the ultimate seal of approval, I don’t know what is.
Final Thoughts—Would I Buy It Again?
Without hesitation, yes. The entire process—from ordering to unboxing to actually using the mattress—was seamless and stress-free. The quality, comfort, and convenience exceeded our expectations, and knowing this will be the bed she grows up with makes the investment feel even more worthwhile.
So if we ever decide to add another little one to our family, I know exactly where we’re getting their mattress from. Sorry, old hand-me-down mattress—you’ve officially been dethroned.
