Purchase and delivery
As with other mattresses in a box, you can order the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress online (through the Mattress Crafters website).
A standard delivery time is 2-12 business days, depending on your location. Delivery is free to most areas in Australia but some regional locations will incur a delivery fee. For more details, see our Delivery information section further down.
The box arrived in reasonable condition with some fairly normal wear and tear from the delivery process.
Removing the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress from its packaging should take around 10-15 minutes. As always, we recommend having two people available to unpack a mattress in a box.
Keep in mind that there will be a substantial amount of packaging (cardboard and plastic) to dispose of. So, some planning may be required along with a fair bit of bin space.
Inside the box includes the mattress along with a plastic cutting tool, and an information sheet.
As per our standard testing procedure, we allowed the product to decompress for 24 hours before testing.
In terms of pure aesthetics, the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress presents nicely with a simple yet classy appearance. It sits 26cm high which is a little lower than the typical height of an innerspring mattress.
The mattress has a dark green and white colour theme, along with brand name embroidery at the base of the mattress.
Mattress construction
As mentioned above, the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress is a foam mattress that consists of multiple foam layers.
1. Gel-infused Memory Foam
The top comfort layer of this mattress is made of CrafterCore Plus Memory Foam. This may help to provide personalised comfort and contouring.
2. High Density Foam
The second comfort layer is made of a high density foam. This should help to provide targeted support to different areas of the body.
3. Support Foam
The main support structure of the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress is made of CrafterCore Plus Zoned HR Foam. This help to provide support and stability.
The mattress also includes an Edge Supportive Foam Box to help enhance support around the mattress perimeter.
Comfort and support
The top fabric cover of the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress feels soft and breathable. Considering the limited air flow offered by foam mattresses, this cover may offer some ventilation during sleep.
The top comfort layer feels spongy will little response to movement. This feel is typical of foam mattresses and is noticeably different in feel to the Boutique Craft Cell Hybrid Mattress, which is far more responsive.
The top comfort layers offer some softness, but the main support foam layer is noticeably firm underneath.
The mattress should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers) but this suitability will vary between individuals.
When it comes to a specific firmness rating, all of our reviewers agreed that this mattress has a medium-firm feel. By majority vote, we settled on a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Firmness rating
Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies. Mattress firmness will also vary depending on the type of bed base used.
We tested the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress on the Soho Slimline Base which is a good quality bed base with solid slats.
The mattress offers good back support, and the main support layer should accommodate people of all sizes.
As we touched on above, the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress has a spongy feel that does not respond well to normal sleep movements. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) may be easier on other mattresses.
Responsiveness
Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.
The finer details
The build quality and craftsmanship of the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress is decent. The quality of the foams and fabrics is of a reasonable standard, as is the quality of the stitching and finishings.
The velvet-like fabric around the sides of the mattress feels smooth and is a particularly nice touch.
Edge support is serviceable so you should be able to use the full surface of the mattress, without the fear of rolling off the edge. To this point, the mattress should also accommodate most sitting activities.
In terms of partner disturbance, the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress isolates motion very well. So, a restless partner shouldn’t cause any problems.
The main support foam layer is noticeably firm underneath.
With that said, motion transfer may vary. A larger mattress (e.g. king size) will usually involve lower amounts of motion transfer. Partner disturbance will also depend on the size of the occupants of the bed.
One minor design flaw of the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress is the lack of side handles. Side handles will always make moving or transporting a mattress easier, so this is something that Mattress Crafters could consider for a future product refinement.
It’s worth noting here that the foams in the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress are certified as non-toxic by CertiPUR-US®.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress to be used on a bed base with flat panel slats such as the Koala Paddington Bed Base.
A bed base with solid slats such as the Chiropedic Bed Base, would also be very suitable.
We would advise against using a bed base with flexible (posture) slats as this type of base may not provide adequate support. Ultimately, the use of an unsupportive mattress foundation may void the mattress warranty.
According to Mattress Crafters, the Boutique Craft Cell Mattress can be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Trial period and warranty
The Boutique Craft Cell Mattress comes with a 100 night trial period, which is a typical trial period duration in the online mattress market.
This trial period means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied. Several conditions do apply though, including charges for initial and return shipping costs.
To return the mattress, you must also wait 30 days from the time of delivery to activate the return process.
This mattress also comes with a 15 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship. This is superior to a typical warranty length of many of its online competitors.
Available sizes
The Boutique Craft Cell Mattress is available in 5 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, and single size) so it should accommodate most sleeping arrangements.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2024.
Final verdict
The Boutique Craft Cell Mattress is somewhat unremarkable but should offer a good value option for the value conscious shopper.
