Top Mattress Stores in Burbank
All four of these stores sit along S. Cicero Ave, which makes it genuinely easy to hop between them in a single trip. Here is what to expect at each one.
Ashley Store
Ashley is one of the biggest furniture brands in the country, and the Burbank store reflects that with a large showroom covering everything from living room sets to mattresses. If you are buying a bed frame and a mattress at the same time, Ashley is a smart stop because they often bundle deals that save you money on the full setup.
Their mattress selection leans toward mid-range pricing, with queens generally running in the $500-$1,200 range depending on the collection. They carry Tempur-Pedic and Sealy products alongside their own Ashley Sleep line, giving you a decent spread of options.

Instock Mattress
The name really does say it all. Instock Mattress focuses specifically on mattresses, which means the staff actually knows what they are talking about when you ask about coil counts or foam density. The Burbank location on S. Cicero is a smaller, no-frills showroom, and that is a feature, not a flaw - you spend less time wandering and more time actually finding the right bed.
Prices are competitive, with queens starting around $299 on the lower end. The big draw here is availability - many mattresses are ready to take home or can be delivered very quickly, which matters if you are sleeping on a broken spring or an air mattress right now.
Best for: Shoppers who need a mattress soon and want straightforward advice from specialists

American Mattress
American Mattress is a Midwest chain that has been around long enough to build a real reputation for carrying name-brand mattresses at competitive prices. The Burbank location stocks Serta, Sealy, Beautyrest, and Purple, among others, so if you already know what brand you want, this is a great place to try it in person before buying.
Expect queens to start around $500 and go up from there depending on the brand and model. Staff tend to be more product-focused here than at the big furniture stores, which is helpful if you have specific needs like lower back support or temperature regulation.
Best for: Brand-loyal buyers and anyone with specific sleep needs who wants expert guidance

Delivery Considerations
Living in Burbank means you are close enough to all four of these stores that same-day or next-day delivery is a real possibility rather than a pipe dream. Instock Mattress in particular is built around fast turnaround, so if you buy in the morning, there is a good chance it shows up that afternoon.
Bob's and Ashley both offer scheduled delivery windows, typically spanning a few hours rather than a full eight-hour wait. Both will usually haul away your old mattress for a small fee, which is worth asking about at checkout because rolling up a queen mattress and dragging it to the curb yourself is nobody's idea of fun.
American Mattress generally includes free delivery on most purchases above a certain threshold, but confirm that with the store directly since promotions change. White glove setup - where they place the mattress on your bed frame and remove all the packaging - is available at most of these locations, sometimes for free and sometimes for a modest charge.
Before you buy, check out our mattress shopping checklist so you know exactly what questions to ask about delivery, setup, and returns before you hand over your card.
Mattress Buying Guide
Understanding Firmness Levels
Firmness is probably the single most confusing part of buying a mattress because every brand labels it differently. One company's "medium" feels like another's "firm." The only real way to know is to lie on it for at least five to ten minutes in the store - not just sit on the edge.
As a general rule, side sleepers tend to do better on medium to medium-soft mattresses because softer surfaces let the shoulder and hip sink in, keeping the spine level. Back and stomach sleepers usually want medium-firm to firm options for more support through the lower back and midsection.
Couples with different preferences have options too. Many brands now make split or zoned designs, and some of the stores on S. Cicero carry them. Our full mattress buying guide breaks down firmness by sleep position in more detail if you want to go deeper before heading to the store.
Size Selection Strategy
A lot of people buy the same size mattress they have always had without stopping to think about whether it actually fits their life right now. If you have a new bedroom, a new sleeping partner, or a pet that has claimed half the bed, it is worth rethinking.
The general breakdown: a twin works for a single child or a guest room with limited floor space. A full suits a solo adult who spreads out. A queen is the sweet spot for most couples and fits most standard bedrooms in Burbank. A king gives you maximum space but needs a room that is at least 12 feet wide to feel right.
Our mattress size guide includes room dimension recommendations that are genuinely useful when you are working with a tape measure and a floor plan.
Budget Planning
Here is a realistic picture of what your money gets you in Burbank right now. Under $500 for a queen gets you a serviceable foam or innerspring - Bob's and Instock Mattress are your best bets in that range. Between $500 and $1,200 you start getting into quality hybrids and entry-level memory foam from name brands. Above $1,200 you are looking at premium foam, latex, or advanced hybrid construction from brands like Purple, Tempur-Pedic, or Beautyrest Black.
Do not forget to factor in the bed frame, mattress protector, and pillows. Those add up fast and are easy to overlook when you are focused on the mattress price tag. Use our mattress budget calculator to build a realistic total before you walk in the door.
Sales do happen. Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the period around the winter holidays tend to bring the biggest discounts. If your current mattress is uncomfortable but not completely destroyed, waiting a few weeks for a sale can save you a few hundred dollars on a mid-range model.
Prefer Shopping Online?
If driving up and down S. Cicero on a weekend is not your idea of a good time, Sleepology is a solid at-home option worth knowing about. They bring together premium mattress brands in one place and keep the whole experience clean and pressure-free - no one is working on commission, so the guidance you get is actually about finding you the right mattress rather than hitting a sales target.
Their Price Predictor tool helps you know whether you are getting a fair deal, and the double-the-difference price match guarantee means you do not have to second-guess yourself after checkout. White glove delivery is included, and right now you can get free delivery with the code DELIVERY. For Burbank shoppers who value transparency and hate haggling, it is genuinely worth a look.
