About this store
The Better Mattress University Hills is a locally owned mattress and bedding showroom in the University Hills shopping center at Colorado Boulevard and Yale Avenue, next to Office Depot. Opened in 2022 as the company's first storefront, it serves southeast Denver neighborhoods like University Hills, Wellshire, and Virginia Village, plus University of Denver students and families a few minutes away.
Here you can lie down on Helix, Avocado, Casper, and Leesa side by side before you buy, with no appointment. Late summer brings DU move-in shoppers, so the team handles plenty of Twin XL and dorm bedding questions. Same-day delivery is offered; call ahead to confirm stock.

Excellent Experience
The experience at Better Mattress was excellent we were educated on the best choice of mattress for our needs and got a really great deal in our price range on a more premium mattress then what we planned for. I like that Better Mattress carries the top online brands to test out.

Exceptional Customer Service
I needed help in selecting the best mattress for my adult disabled son. The salesperson, Selene, was absolutely great! She not only described the properties of the different mattresses, but also, encouraged my son to try them for the correct length and width. Selene and the other staff are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I left the store happy and satisfied with my final purchase. I highly recommend this store.
