There are two main ways to shop for a new mattress: in-store and online. We’ve written extensively about the\u00a0benefits of shopping online for a mattress<\/a>\u00a0(and\u00a0how to do it without trying out the mattress first<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we’re delving specifically into the differences between buying a mattress online vs. in-store and sharing tips for buying a mattress in-store if you decide to go that route.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying a mattress online vs. in-store<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing to buy your new mattress online or in a brick-and-mortar store really comes down to your personal preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy being able to gather information, read reviews, browse at your own pace, compare multiple mattress brands<\/a>, and get the best prices, then buying online is probably your best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, an in-store purchase is probably your best option if you prefer personal service, salespeople who can offer advice and answer questions, and a chance to touch and lie down on a mattress<\/a> before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of buying a mattress online<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shopping online offers the ultimate convenience because you can do so 24\/7. There\u2019s no sales pressure, no salesperson watching you lie down on that mattress you might be interested in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easier to\u00a0comparison-shop between brands\u00a0and to shop around from one site to another looking for excellent value,\u00a0free delivery<\/a>, and customer-friendly return policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downsides of buying a mattress online<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No matter how descriptive the words you read about a mattress may be, there\u2019s no guarantee that it’ll suit you without actually lying on it. And you can\u2019t do that when you buy from an online store\u2014unless you’re able to test it out in a showroom. (Saatva has Viewing Rooms<\/a>\u00a0across the country where you can do this.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can also feel overwhelming as you try to take in the many options available online without the educated guidance of someone like a mattress store salesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of buying a mattress in a store<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One advantage of buying in a mattress store is it gives you the opportunity to\u00a0lie down on the mattress\u00a0rather than imagine what it feels like based on a written description.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get advice and insights from salespeople who can be valuable resources in helping you decide. If you need a mattress sooner than later, then purchasing it in-store may be your best bet. It can also be easier to schedule delivery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downsides of buying a mattress in a store<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even the biggest mattress store can only hold so many different mattresses, and not nearly as big a variety as online. Additionally, a downside of working with salespeople in a mattress store is you may feel pressure to buy a mattress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike online mattress stores, traditional mattress stores typically offer a limited return policy. This is very different from our Viewing Rooms, where you can try the mattress in person and still enjoy our full 365-night home trial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
