A woman shopping for mattresses stands next to a man in a white coat, who shows her different options.

If your back is sore and you’re feeling tired often, it probably means the time has finally come for a new mattress. But, most people don’t even know the first place to start with their mattress shopping ventures.

If you’re ready to invest in the mattress of your dreams, there are a few things you need to know before starting. Follow these tips when you’re ready to purchase a new mattress and only want the best. Go with Sealy so you avoid major buying mistakes while bed shopping.


 1.       Research

One of the most important things you can do before buying a bed is actually doing the research to find the best one for you. There are many ways you can do this, such as scouring the internet for information or even talking to one of our friendly sales associates about your needs, as well as what sort of Sealy bed you’re looking for. While researching, you may come across a lot of info that you just don’t know what to do with, but don’t be overwhelmed! Contact our store to talk to an expert and get the feedback explained in a way you understand.

It’s better to go into buying a mattress knowing as much as possible, rather than finding out what you don’t want AFTER you’ve been sleeping on it for a couple days.


 2.       Don’t Shop Online

We repeat: DON’T SHOP ONLINE. When it comes to buying your Sealy mattress, peruse, read about, and find the ones you want to try out, but never – ever – click that “add to cart” button when shopping for a mattress. Only if you’ve already laid on the bed and know it’s the one you want, should you ever buy it online.

The problem is, every mattress sounds enticing when it’s read about online. Every photo looks good, but there’s just no way to actually tell if your body will respond well to that specific mattress. The only way that you can possibly know is by going to a physical store location and literally putting your whole body on a bed. Which leads us to the next tip.

 3.       Test it Out

You can hear the greatest things in the world about a mattress, but they won’t mean anything until you lie down on one to really test it out. By giving some a go, you’ll immediately be filled with more mattress knowledge than if you had continued to just look or read about them. You’ll discover if you like firm, soft, or medium beds or if you prefer the feel of memory foam, coils, or both. Fortunately, we offer Sealy mattresses which come in a wide variety of sizes and materials so you’ll never feel limited. When looking for your new mattress, don’t skip this very important step!

 

So, there you have it. Buying a mattress is simple, but choosing one takes a lot of research online and in-person to really know what you’re looking for. If you’re feeling like you know what you want just because it sounds good, you may be in for a world of hurt after ordering your bed online.
