Buying a mattress is an important investment in your health and well-being.  A good night’s sleep is important for keeping well, but also for maintaining your emotional well-being, and even for helping you focus at work.  With all that riding on the sleep you get, it pays to seek out the very best mattress retailer.  Here’s our tips on how to find a good store:

1. Experience

Mattresses are more specialized, option-filled, and technologically advanced than ever before.  The days where every mattress was a simple innerspring are long past, and today’s consumers have the ability to customize their mattress to their sleeping style, health needs, and lifestyle preferences.  With all of that to consider, it pays to visit a store that specializes in mattresses.  Furniture stores that also sell beds may not possess the expertise to guide you toward the mattress that best matches your needs.

2. Ability To Try Before You Buy

What’s the largest downside of purely online mattress shopping?  Most experts recommend stretching out on the mattress you’re considering before you buy it, in person.  Just as it’s not recommended that you buy a car without first giving it a test drive, it’s not smart to invest hundreds of dollars in a mattress without trying it out.  Make sure that the mattress store you choose allows you to test the mattress you’re interested in.  Bring your own pillow to make certain that the test is accurate, and if you’ve got a partner that you regularly share the bed with, bring them, too!  A good mattress is an investment in your health, so it pays to be sure before you part with your hard-earned cash.

3. Cost

Did you know that many retailers mark up the mattresses they sell by up to 300%?  You don’t have to pay inflated prices to find a quality mattress, but you do have to be smart about where you shop.  Do some research before you walk into the store, so you know whether the prices seem in line with market, low, or high.  The markups that traditional stores use on their mattresses are one reason why we can offer our customers such deep discounts: our stock is still full of excellent, high-quality mattresses, but you get them without the hefty price tag.

4. Investing In Your Life

Sleep is important for everything from improving your memory to enhancing the function of your immune system, but many people resist making the changes they need to ensure that they’re getting a good night’s rest, every night.  Think of it this way: even if you spend $1000 for a new bed that lasts 10 years, that’s still only about $0.25/day. Can you think of another 25-cent investment that can do so much for your quality of life?

It’s never been easier to find a great mattress at a great price, and we’d love to help you do it.  Here’s to better sleep–and a better life.
