Where is the best place to buy a mattress in the Greater Toronto Area?

So you’ve been thinking about replacing your old, worn-out, uncomfortable mattress that you’ve had longer than you can remember.  You have been telling yourself that you need a new mattress for months now after waking up every morning being restless, experiencing back pain, and not getting a good night’s sleep.  So you sit down in front of your computer and start your search. 

After 10 minutes of browsing you get overwhelmed with the different amount of options available and you don’t know where you should really be looking to get the best mattress for your needs at the best price. There are so many options from big box stores, online only stores, online bed-in-a-box companies, outlets, and liquidation centers all claiming to have the best prices and the best mattresses.  So now what?

Let me put you out of your misery.  Here is what to expect when searching for a new mattress and where you can get the best deal on the best mattress for you.

Big Box Mattress Stores

You hear the ads on the radio, in the newspaper, and even on TV.  These giant big box mattress and furniture companies always have 50% off, 75% off, one day only, this weekend only,  and limited quantity sales ALL THE TIME!  Do they even sell any mattress that are not on sale?  I would really like to find out who would pay their over inflated, nonsense regular prices that make their sales seem too good to be true. 

What you need to know is that these companies have huge advertising budgets, massive showrooms to maintain, and very clever salespeople that can probably sweet talk you into the mattress that pays them the most commission.  At the end of the day, that deal you are getting is feeding the costs associated with the massive overhead these companies have to maintain, so you may not actually be getting the best mattress for the best price.

Online Mattress Stores

Online mattress stores can offer a wide selection of good quality mattresses at fair prices since they don’t have a lot of the overhead associated with a brick and mortar location.  The problem is that you cannot try the mattress before you buy, and in most cases exchanges and returns are either very difficult, costly, or non-existent.   

Trying your new mattress that you will probably have for the next 10 years of your life is very important.  Unless you are buying a mattress for the guest room, or just a temporary bed, I wouldn’t recommend buying a mattress from a company that does not let you try their product before buying it.  There are better options out there.

Online Bed-In-A-Box Companies

Companies that offer online only memory foam mattresses that are rolled and shipped across the country have sprung out everywhere recently.  They typically offer only one mattress to buy and claim that this mattress is universal for everybody’s needs.  I don’t buy into the idea that one mattress can be good for everyone. 

A lighter person who sleeps on their side and a heavier person who sleeps on their back need two completely different types of mattresses to gain proper support and have a comfortable night’s sleep.  There is not one mattress out there that will properly tailor to both of these people as they have different needs for support and comfort.  Therefor buying a universal mattress will not give you the personalized comfort and support that you may need.  Take the time to find the right mattress for your specific needs as this will provide you with the most comfortable sleep for many years to come.

Mattress Outlets and Liquidators

Mattress Outlets are probably the best venue to get the best quality mattress at the best price.  You can find a great selection of good quality brand name mattresses at a way better price than your typical retailer or online mattress store.  Mattress outlets usually offer the same brand name mattresses you can find anywhere else but at a better price due to their lower overhead.

However not all outlets are the same.  Important things to look for are reputable brand name mattresses and the option to try before you buy.  Also looking into exchange policies and general company policies is important in case you decide you don’t like the mattress you picked out.

National Mattress Outlet Plus+ has a mattress outlet warehouse store in Mississauga and in Milton which cater to the whole greater Toronto area.  They offer all the top mattress brands including Serta, Sealy, and Springwall.  They have a very large selection of mattresses ranging from very soft to very firm at various different price points.  Their staff is very well educated and will always recommend the best mattress for you based on your budget as they are not paid on commission.  Comparing their prices to other retailers and outlets, National Mattress has the best prices in the city!

You can visit their website www.nationalmattress.ca and use their Mattress Selector which will guide you through a series of questions and recommend the best mattresses for you at different price points. You can then try out these recommended mattresses at their Mississauga or Milton location to see which ones you like the best.

At National Mattress Outlet you will get the best quality brand name mattress, at the best price and sleep comfortably for many years to come.  

How to compare mattresses between various retailers.

Everyone now a days wants to shop around and find the best deals on mattresses between various retailers.  The mattress industry is very competitive and retailers are making it difficult to shop around and compare their mattresses.  Consumers have noticed that certain mattress models are only available at a certain retail chain, while another retailer will carry mattresses of the same brand, only different models.

Here is how it works:  A mattress manufacturer will supply the same mattresses under a certain name to one retailer, only to change the name of the model and even the fabric colour for another retailer.  This way, certain retail chains can claim that they have “exclusive” products.  This confuses consumers when trying to compare mattresses from one store to another. 

How to compare mattresses.

Consumers should focus on the specs of the mattress rather than the model name or how it looks like in the store.  Look at what the mattress is made up of, the guts as you will, of the mattress.  Compare the type of coil, the foam used in the mattress, the feel of the mattress etc.

For example: You can visit one store and find the Serta Perfect Sleeper Dryden Pillow Top.  It is beige in colour and has 814 FlexCoil, pillow top with memory foam and latex, and feels firm.  Another store will have the Serta Perfect Sleeper Dundee.  This mattress is blue but also has 814 FlexCoil, pillow top with memory foam and latex and feels exactly as firm as the Dryden.  The chances are the Dryden and Dundee are the same exact mattress only with a different name and different fabric. Now compare which store offers the better price.

You should only compare different mattress models made by the same manufacturer.  It is much more difficult to compare two mattresses made by two different manufacturers.  Although both mattresses could have the same amount of pocket coils, memory foam, and feel similar in the store, it is hard to judge the quality of materials used between two manufacturers.  However, if the manufacturer is reputable, has been around for a long time, and has good reviews online, it is safer to compare their mattresses with other brand name mattresses.

Note:  Do not take the sales representatives word for what is inside the mattress without seeing an official spec sheet or researching the mattress model online to determine the type of coil and construction of the mattress.  There have been many instances where sales reps are misinformed about a certain mattress and could be giving you inaccurate information.

In conclusion, consumers should compare the construction of a mattress made by the same manufacturer but sold in different stores.  Don’t be fooled by “exclusive” mattress models that seem like a good deal at a certain store.  Shop around various retailers and try to find a mattress made by the same manufacturer that has the same specifications.  The fabric colour and name of the model should not matter.  This way you can make a smart comparison and get the best mattress deal out there.    

Will I get really hot sleeping on a memory foam mattress

Will I get really hot sleeping on a memory foam mattress?

Everyone seems to ask the question: Will I get really hot sleeping on a memory foam mattress?  This might be the main factor which deters people from purchasing a memory foam mattress, so here are the facts which you should take into account.

Getting hot and sweaty at night

If you sleep on a regular mattress and tend to get hot under the covers at night, a memory foam mattress might make things worse for you.  Memory foam mattresses are not as breathable as coil mattresses and the truth is that you might get hot sleeping at night if you already have a problem sleeping on your coil mattress. 

It is recommended that you sleep in a cool environment at night.  My suggestion is anywhere from 17C-22C.  Your body rests better in these temperatures.  Try turning the temperature down on your air conditioner, or cracking your bedroom window open at night.  Getting fresh cool air at night is very important to get a good rest and this will definitely help you sleep better and prevent you from having night sweats and getting hot.

Your bed sheets and covers also play a huge role in your sleep.  Try switching to a thinner more breathable bed sheet during the hot summer months.

Regular Visco Memory Foam Mattresses

These are your basic memory foam mattresses.  They are not infused with “cool gel” or “cool beads”.  If you tend not to get hot at night on your regular mattress, and sleep in a cooler environment, you should not have problems getting hot and sweaty at night with a regular memory foam mattress.  I sleep on a regular memory foam mattress and I do not have any problems as long as my room is nice and cool during the night.

Gel Infused and Gel Bead Memory Foam Mattresses

Studies show that gel infused memory foam stays cooler than regular memory foam.  The difference is not extremely drastic, but it does make a difference in your sleep.  There is no real way to figure out exactly how much gel is infused in the mattress or how many beads are in the memory foam so if you are skeptical, buy from a trusted brand and make sure there is a comfort guarantee that allows you to exchange your mattress within a certain period of time.  At least you are protected and can exchange your mattress if you still feel you are getting too hot at night.

Convoluted Foam

Convoluted foam looks like an upside-down egg carton with ridges that create extra channels of air flow throughout the mattress.  This definitely makes the mattress more breathable, but still not to the same extent as a coil mattress.  Think about it: The space between the layers of foam will never be as great as in a coil mattress, and they tend to get compressed together anyways when you sleep on the mattress.  Although this is a great feature to have to further increase the breath-ability of the mattress, it is not a perfect solution to fix the problem. 

Final Thought

Memory foam mattresses are by far the most comfortable, best pressure relieving beds out there.  In my opinion, the benefits far outweigh the concerns of getting too hot at night if you know how to overcome this problem.  Sleep at a cool temperature at night, and get proper breathable bed sheets to prevent you from getting night sweats.  If you want to further assure a cool night’s sleep go for a gel infused memory foam from a trusted brand and the majority of them include convoluted foam anyways.  

At last, make sure the trusted retailer you are purchasing your memory foam mattress from offers a comfort guarantee.  In the worst case scenario you can exchange your mattress for something else if you still have problems getting too hot.  I hope this clears things up for everyone and I wish everyone the best night sleep!

Mattress Sales – Don’t get tricked!

Why is it that mattresses are always on sale? If you think about it, wherever and whenever you go shopping for a mattress, there is always a super promotion going on that gives you 50% off this and 60% off that.  You shouldn't get tricked into thinking you got a good deal, just because you bought your new mattress on sale.  There are smarter ways to shop and I am going to list a few methods to ensure that you don’t get ripped off!

Compare Product not Price

Just because a retailer says that the mattress you are looking at retails for over $2000 and it is on sale for $800, doesn't mean you are necessarily getting a good deal.  Realistically, nobody would buy that mattress for $2000 ever.  This jacked up price is only used to trick the consumer into thinking they are getting a better deal.

You should compare the mattress with other mattresses of similar coil count, interior materials (memory foam, latex, bio foam etc.) and overall quality of the product.  You will be surprised to see that one mattress on sale 65%off $2399 for $839 can have the sale coil count, same memory foam in the euro top, and even be the exact same make and model at one retailer, as another retailer selling it for $699 at their everyday regular price.

This happens all the time between retailers as consumers are not aware of the tricks played to sucker them into buying something they think they got an unbelievable deal on.

At National Mattress Outlet we never inflate prices and then put in fake deals to trick our customers.  We compare our pricing to the average listed price of many of the big box retailers (not inflated regular prices on sale but regular prices not on sale) and then slash that price by a couple hundred dollars to bring you the most value for your money. 

With our unique business model encompassing low overhead, no commissions, and bulk orders we are able to offer unbeatable prices on all of our products without promoting deceiving “sales”.  In fact, we only put a mattress on sale if it is discontinued or if we have an abundance of inventory.  We do his because our everyday prices are already substantially lower than our competitors.

If you are in the market for a new mattress, don’t get tricked into sale prices thinking you are getting a deal.  Instead, compare specifications and final price you are paying.  As an informed consumer, you will scope out a better deal and get a better quality product if you understand how mattress pricing works. 

Consumer Information on “Coil Count” in a Mattress.

The first thing many people ask when choosing a new mattress is, “How many coils are inside this mattress?”  Although coil count is a fair determination on the quality and support a mattress offers, it is not an overall statistic that one should base their opinion on when selecting a new mattress.  There are many factors involved in “coil count” which should be looked at as a whole.  Here is a list of the most important ones:

Coil Count

-          The coil count written on the description of the mattress tells you the number of springs or coils inside the mattress.  This number can range from 200 in a twin size mattress to over 1000 in higher quality king size mattresses.  The same mattress model will have different coil counts for their twin, full, queen, and king sizes because the larger the size, the more coils are required to provide the same level of support over the surface area.  The specification sheet found in many showrooms usually illustrates the coil count for a queen size mattress, as this is the most popular mattress size.

Quantity and Quality

-          More coils typically indicate better support and a better built mattress as your body is spread over more “support areas”.  It’s like building a house with more support columns.  The more columns, the sturdier the house, and the longer life span it will have.  However, the “gauge” of the coil is equally important as this indicates the thickness of the metal wire used to make the coil.  A mattress made with a thicker gauge coil and fewer coils can offer the same if not better quality and support as a mattress made with more but thinner gauge coils.  Always compare the gauge of the coils and the number of coils when choosing your new mattress.

Coil Types

-          Many mattresses are made with interlocked coils, or continuous coils, which support each other and work together to distribute body weight over the surface of the mattress.  These types of coil offer a firm support but can also transfer motion to your partner if not accompanied with the right amount of upholstery and comfort material such as foam, memory foam, and quilted panel.

-          Other mattresses are made with individual or pocket coils, which work independently, supporting the areas on which pressure is applied.  These types of mattresses create a softer feel and highly reduce the amount of motion transfer a partner will feel while sleeping on the other side of the bed.

Conclusion

-          It is always best to lie down on the mattress to see how it feels.  Coil count, gauge, and type of coils range from manufacturer to manufacturer.   The way the coil is twisted, and the amount of twists can also affect the feel of the mattress from manufacturer to manufacturer.  Look at the specification, but also lie down and feel it for yourself.  One manufacturers 800 continuous coil can feel a lot different based on the specifications listed above, than another manufacturer’s 800 continuous coil.  Also, make sure information is available on the coils in the mattress and don’t just take the salesperson’s word for it.  They can always get confused with the many different models available, or just take advantage of inexperienced consumers.  Whatever the case may be, at least now you know a little bit more about “coil count” and can make a more informed decision on your new mattress purchase.
