Buying a new mattress is one of the best investments you can make. When you consider how much time you’ll spend on it—and how much quality of sleep impacts life—it’s easy to justify the purchase. Before you order a mattress from your favorite online retailer, though, consider the benefits of buying one in person. 

Why Should You Purchase Your Mattress in Person, Rather Than Online?

1. You Can Confirm the Source

When you purchase a mattress online, you may not know where it’ll ship from. And if you’re buying a brand-name one from a major discount supplier, you may not be privy to the quality and how long it was in storage. By going to the mattress store in person, though, you can confirm where the store sources their products—directly from the manufacturer, hopefully—and secure a point of contact should any questions or concerns arise. In other words, you can call an actual person directly if you have questions or concerns, instead of going through an automated phone messaging system. 

2. You Can Try Before You Buy 

Ordering a mattress from the internet is a risk. How can you be sure it’ll be as comfortable as it looks? When you go to a store, though, you can actually consult with sleep experts, who will be happy to determine what you need in bedding. You can then try out the products they recommend to determine which one feels right. 

3. You Can Count on Longevity 

Mattresses that are sold in stores can't typically roll up into boxes. Those that are sold online, on the other hand, must allow for economical shipping. As such, they're not nearly as durable, sturdy, and complete. For example, they may sink over time without extra supportive construction and may not come with a box spring component.
