Lately I have been hearing a lot about these mattresses that they ship to you in a box... What do you think about it.
I built a bed for one of my kids and we bought a Leesa mattress-in-a-box. I can't speak for durability yet, but I find it pretty comfortable. For whatever it is worth, I don't use a box spring. It just a "platform" in essence.
After using my kid as a guinea pig, when I build my wife and I a new bed, we'll get a Leesa mattress.
Count on foam beds to break down and "canoe" in a fairly short time, especially if they are slept on every night. (That is, not a guest-room bed used a few times a month or less.) Plastic foam is a rigid material and every compression breaks a few bubble walls; repeat a few thousand times and the dip/sag will be noticeable.
If you like foam and want a longer lifespan (like, yours) - go latex. Latex is a nonrigid material and the bubble rupture rate is almost nil. (That means all latex, not a latex layer with poly foam - which is somewhere between misleading and a scam.)
I had a Tempurdedic for almost 15 years, it never broke down at all. The only reason I replaced it is that I wanted to go from Queen to King.
My sister bought a Tuft and Needle several years ago. She and her husband both adore it. I sleep on an expensive Sleep Number mattress, and while I never slept on the Tuft and Needle mattress, when I laid on the T&N bed to test it, my impression was that it was very, very comfortable, and it was a fraction of the price I paid for mine.
"Most of them have 100 nights return guaranteed".....pay close attention to individual return policy....I've seen some that state "must be in original box". We ended up buying from Costco, no such requirement.

that's crazy. If you buy from Casper, they have 100 day return policy and they send a currier to pick it up and remove it from your home and donate it to a local charity if you want to return it ....no box needed!

I disagree. I only have my own anecdotal evidence, but in 12 years of everyday use, our Tempurpedic has not sagged at all.
yep. Seems okay. I'm not sleeping on it. The idiot who does (Girlzilla) insisted on a memory foam topper (because she just wants her demands met and she's stupid). When they came home with it (her dad - my ex bought it) I said "you know the whole mattress is memory foam, right?" She says "oh it is?" YES STUPID, IT IS BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO GET YOUR WAY (I imagined screaming at her)
We bought a Zinus bed in a box last year and love it. Far more comfortable than the spring mattress that it replaced.
We got one last year. Now that problem is I have to fight to get the kids off our bed. It's too comfy. I'm working on getting them their own mattress.
