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.

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.
