3 Universal Tips on Making a Deal at a Mattress Sale

Here is all you need to know not to miss out on the benefits you can get and find the most efficient solution that you — not they — really need.

Face it, nothing’s more important in today’s life than having a good rest. You know it, we know it, every mattress shop on the planet knows it. Some stores, like Queensway Mattress, will try to make you a loyal customer by offering the most suitable option. But that’s not how every mattress sale works.

 

Every person involved in the sale process, from a consultant to a marketing expert, knows that you rarely go to mattress sales and barely have experience in this highly specific field. Here is all you need to know not to miss out on the benefits you can get and find the most efficient solution that you — not they — really need.

 

Tip 1: Quality First

Just the same way it works with the majority of other materialistic things, the very first thing you need to consider when searching for a mattress sale is its quality. Not some fancy words, not promises, not the “technologies” used in the production process.

 

You can't buy a mattress at random: you have to pay attention to how it's made, what materials are used and what kind of support system it has.

 

The materials and design make a huge difference between good and poor sleep. When buying mattresses, the important things to keep in mind are:

 

1. The sleeping surface.

Mattresses often use foam, but they can also be made of latex or memory foam. If a mattress has a built-in spring system, it's important to find out what type they are;

 

2. Firmness.

Finding the right firmness and support level is also very important, especially if you're going to a mattress sale for the first time and you're not familiar with the market options at all. No matter how much you pay for a mattress, if it turns out to be too soft or too hard for your body, you will never achieve good sleep quality on it;

 

3. The cover.

A good mattress has a high-quality cover that's not only breathable and washable, but waterproof as well. These covers are made of synthetic fibers and are often considered to be hypoallergenic.

 

Tip 2: The Service Matters

Now that you understand what type of mattress you need (or, at least, what aspects are to consider), let's switch to the process of buying it.

 

You can buy the same mattress in 2 different stores and get completely different deals.

 

Like any other sphere of the market, mattress sales — regardless of the location — have dramatically evolved in the last few decades. In 2022, a good mattress store should have:

 

• A free trial;
• Customer protection;
• A proper warranty;
• Free delivery;
• Multiple payment options.

 

While the majority of stores will probably scream in slogans that they have all of the above, it's important to pay attention to the details.

 

Free Trial

A free trial is a real luxury for those who are buying mattresses for the first time. It gives you the opportunity to test the mattress on a limited number of nights and return it for free if you don't find it comfortable enough. The majority of stores that launch mattress sales will give you a month, maybe 2 months, but some go up to 100 days. That's enough to make a decision, whether you're feeling comfortable with the mattress, or not.

 

The rule of thumb is simple: the more time you get for a free trial — the better. It’s a mattress sale, not rocket science (even though these two are way closer in terms of complexity than you probably think).

 

Protection and Warranty

Some stores provide a warranty for the mattress, but most of them don't go further than 2 years. It’s a major red flag: you should not think of buying a new mattress in two, or even in three years.

 

If you're not satisfied with your purchase, have a question or a problem, it always helps to have a warranty on hand.

Modern mattresses are made of high-quality materials that are supposed to last over a decade, so you can demand a longer warranty if it's an option. In case it is — somehow — not an option, something’s wrong and you should be cautious.

 

Delivery

As simple as it gets, Ideally, it should be free. The competition on the market makes free delivery almost mandatory. Besides, if you have to take your mattress home yourself — how are you supposed to do that? People that have no cars or those with tiny city cars deserve good sleep no less than those who can just strap it to the back of their truck and drive home easily.

 

A proper FREE delivery service will ensure that you get the mattress safely and it doesn't get damaged in the process.

 

Payment Options

We're not talking about paying by card or in cash here. Mattresses — especially the high-end ones — can be pretty expensive. Paying out of pocket in one large purchase is not always an option. Every decent mattress sale should offer payments in monthly installments. The better terms you get — the more beneficial your deal is.

 

It’s not a mortgage, but you STILL should read all the fine print in the papers and ask for copies. The last thing you need is getting in debt over a mattress.

  

Tip 3: Easy Way to Make the Final Decision

The only thing you need to successfully get a good deal is the right approach: keep in mind that you're not buying a new mattress every day. Most likely, you'll be stuck with the results of this deal for at least a decade. Take your time and do some research, ask people, demand all the options and extras you can get for free. It's not just your budget that's at stake — it's a question of your health and sleep quality as well.
