The difference between an Online Mattress Vs a Store Mattress is a question we get asked a lot here at Snuggi. In the past, if you wanted to shop for a new mattress, you would hop in the car and spend a day at a showroom or two, sizing up the prices, talking to mattress sales persons and trying to decipher how the price correlates to the features and quality of the mattress.
In truth, your bum will get to feel a whole bunch of mattresses and by the end of the day, you’d typically pick one that fits your budget and seems like it will do the trick. But if you’re like us, you’d go home, wait for the delivery and wonder if you made the right choice.
It’s confusing buying a new mattress, especially when there are so many factors that seem unique to your own sleeping preferences. For instance, you might sleep hot and are looking for a temperature-neutral mattress – or perhaps you’re a side sleeper and are looking for a mattress designed for side sleepers. Online mattress shopping is fast becoming the preferred way for customers to quickly see all the features and benefits of an online mattress from the comfort of home, choose one that ticks all the boxes and then have 100 nights risk-free to trial their choice in the comfort of their own bedroom. Further below, you can find a chart to help you understand the benefits of Online mattresses Vs Store Mattresses – but first let’s have a look at pricing and why you’re getting more for your money with an online mattress.
The Mattress Store Supply Chain
Like any product in the stores, it takes a lot of people to get the product from the factory to your local store.
Mattresses take a lot of steps to get from the factory to you:
1) Factory → 2) National Wholesaler → 3) Regional Distributor → 4) State Distributor → 5) Distribution Center → 6) Mattress Store → 7) You!
Mattresses you buy at the store can go through a lot of different hands before reaching the store you make your purchase at. All those people add to the final price you pay – which means you’re spending more money than just what the mattress cost for materials and manufacturing.
Mattress Store shopping means you’re paying for more logistics then just the cost of materials and manufacturing.
Online Mattress Supply Chain
It takes a lot less people people and logistics to get an online mattress from the factory to your home.
1) Factory → 2) Online Seller → 3) You!
Buying online means all the people in the mattress store supply chain who add their costs on to the final cost you pay are not needed – so all the money you save means you can get the better quality mattress you want for considerably less.
Online mattresses have only one overhead (the seller), so you get a better quality mattress for less than the stores.
Try before you buy
Try before you buy is still the reason people go to the mattress stores for a new mattress. But online mattress shopping is by far the better way to try out a new mattress. Ten minutes trying out a mattress at the store is not nearly as comfortable and sensible as 100 nights trial in the comfort of your own bedroom. At Snuggi we love talking about mattresses because we’re passionate about our product and its benefits, but with online shopping, you don’t have to talk to anyone if you don’t want to. Simply read about the mattress features online, have a Snuggi delivered and enjoy your trial. The Snuggi comes in an innovative compressed state, set-up is a synch and you’r ready to experience the bed at home for 1oo nights risk free, with free returns and a full refund if you’re not happy.
Cut out the middlemen and get more features and quality at a lower price than any mattress store.
