These days, you can order almost anything online, including mattresses. And there are certain conveniences that come with ordering a mattress online. You don't have to drive to the store or spend the time looking for a mattress store in your area. But as common as online ordering has become, visiting a mattress store in-person does still have its perks. Here are a few key reasons you may still want to shop in person for your next mattress.
You can lie down on mattresses before buying one
You can read an endless number of online reviews to get an idea of what a certain mattress may feel like, but nothing compares to lying down on the mattress yourself. Everyone has different mattress preferences, too, so a mattress that everyone else likes may not be the one you like. When you visit a mattress store to shop in-person, you can lie on as many mattresses as you need to in order to figure out what you like and don't like. When you do find the right mattress, you'll know exactly how it feels so there are no surprises when it's delivered.
You can schedule your delivery
When you order a mattress online, it gets delivered whenever the shipping company gets around to delivering it. This may be when you're at work, which means your mattress will sit outside for hours. Or, you might have to find a way to pick it up from the local shipping office if you're not there to sign for it. This isn't an issue when you shop for a mattress in person. The store will often ship your mattress to you, but you generally get to choose when it will arrive. You can pick a time that's convenient for you so you don't have to overhaul your entire schedule or rush home.
You may get a better deal
Online mattress sellers offer good deals, but so do in-person mattress stores. In fact, many mattress stores are having to lower their prices and offer discounts to compete with online vendors. So, you may even get a better deal at your local mattress store, and you generally won't need to pay for shipping, which equates to more savings.
Shopping online has its perks, but when it comes to mattresses, you're often better off shopping in person. Look for a mattress store near you, and pay them a visit. You may be surprised what you find.
When you walk into an empty house, do you feel like it needs some character? Do you feel like you, in some way or another, need to make that house your own?

It's all about choices, which is something we will dive deeper into on this blog about furniture.
