The Best Mattress Reviews, Comparisons and Coupons
What Would You Like To Know?
OverĀ the past fewĀ years, my husband and I have slept on and researched theĀ leadingĀ mattresses sold online and shipped directly to your home,Ā sometimesĀ calledĀ aĀ bed-in-a-box or anĀ online mattress.
Along the way, we’ve learned a lotĀ about the differences betweenĀ Casper, Saatva, Leesa, Purple,Ā Loom & Leaf, Bear, Nest Bedding, Helix and others.
Everything we learned isĀ documented on this website in the form ofĀ mattressĀ reviews andĀ comparisons, where weĀ score & rate the leading brandsĀ on theĀ 13 features you should care about most when buying any mattress online.
My #1 goal with this website is toĀ help you make a rational / fact-basedĀ decision – in 10 minutes or less.
The Benefits Of Buying a Mattress Online
Table of Contents
The #1Ā benefit is that you save a LOT of money. Ā Like,Ā 30-50% less than a comparable store-bought brand.
Tuft And Needle, one of the newer companies in the market, put together the followingĀ comparison chart thatĀ explains why online mattresses cost so much less.
As you can see, selling mattresses online direct from the factoryĀ eliminates a lot of markup and middlemen, whichĀ cuts a lot of cost out of a mattress:
This is why mattresses sold online typicallyĀ sell forĀ 30-50%Ā less than comparable store-bought mattresses.
Other benefits of buying a mattress online include theĀ 100-night risk-free in-home trial, the ability to use websites like this one to compare your choices online, and a growing selection of products that caterĀ to all sorts of special needs, like Bear Mattress (for athletes) and Helix Sleep (custom-fit).
The online mattress movement is having a huge impact on the traditional mattress industry, driving prices down and quality up.
Even Sealy and TempurpedicĀ have online stores, now.
The Downside (Kinda)
The downside to buying a mattress online is that you can’t sit on itĀ before placing yourĀ order.
To eliminate this concern,Ā almost every online mattress company offers a 100-night no risk free trial.Ā If you decide you don’t wantĀ the mattress, most companies will pick the mattress up from your home – and you pay nothing.
Think about it:Ā 100 nights is more thanĀ enoughĀ time to decide ifĀ a mattressĀ works for you.
Buying A Mattress OnlineĀ Isn’t As EasyĀ As It Used To Be
Three years ago, buying an online mattressĀ was anĀ easy choice, because there were only a few brands to choose from.
Today, there are more than 20Ā companies selling mattresses online.Ā
This makes shopping for a mattress online aĀ time-consuming process.
The goal of thisĀ websiteĀ is toĀ help youĀ findĀ the right mattressĀ forĀ your sleeping style and budget in 10 minutes or less.
And, of course, I want to save you beaucoup bucks.

What Is an Online Mattress?
An “online mattress” is a memory foam mattress, latex mattress or innerspring mattress that is:

A lot of people buy mattresses online today. Over $4 billion were sold online in 2014.

Buying Tips
Now that youĀ have a short list of mattresses, let’s talk about some of the things to you should considerĀ before you place that order.
First Tip: Don’t Worry About Buying Online!
Trust me:Ā you have nothing to fear when buying a mattress online.
In fact,Ā I’ve learned that shoppingĀ onlineĀ is theĀ smartest way to buy a mattress.Ā
BecauseĀ you will save money and be happierĀ with your final purchase, in the end.
After all,Ā you can’t learn muchĀ about a mattressĀ by sittingĀ on it for 10 minutes in a busy store – with some high-pressure sales guy waiting for aĀ check.
But, whenĀ you sleep on aĀ mattress in your own bedroomĀ forĀ 100 nights, youĀ learnĀ everything you need to know. Enough to write a mattress review!
The Company Behind TheĀ Mattress
This isĀ one of those important but silent choicesĀ you may end upĀ kicking yourself over, a few years down the line.
The reality of the online mattress market today is that most of theĀ companies that sell them are startups, with a veryĀ short history. Ā Often, their products have been in the market for less than 3 years.
That’s just not enough time to know whether a mattress will stand the test of time – or the company that makes it.
I’m NOT saying startups can’t make a high-quality, durable mattress! Just that until more time passes, you reallyĀ can’t know.
So if you’re down to a choice between two companies, I’d go withĀ the more established one. Just to be safe.
Return Policies: The Finer Details
In general, all of the companies selling online mattresses DO stand behind their return policies. There are very few complaints online about people getting a bait-and-switch from any of the companies profiled on this site.
That said, theĀ companies’ return policies differ in a ways that might be important to you. The most important differences include:
- minimum trial period: several manufacturers require you to test their mattress for a minimum of 30 days before attempting to return it.
- mattress return pickup: if you decide to return your mattress, some companies offer white glove service where one of theirĀ employees will remove theĀ mattress from your home without you lifting a finger; others ask that you do some of the work.
- return of accessories: be careful whenĀ ordering mattress platforms, bedding and accessories withĀ your mattress, becauseĀ these items may not be return-able with your mattress under the same generous 100-night policy.
Warranties
In general, all online mattress companies offer at least a 10-year workmanship/defect warranty.
That said, mattress warranties can differ dramatically in terms of the financial protectionĀ they provideĀ over the life of your mattress.
For example, Ā make sure you understand where your manufacturer stands on these warranty features:
- transferable warranty: is the warranty transferrable to a new owner, or not?
- pro-rated replacement cost: Ā does the value of the warranty decline over time? what % of the replacement cost does the manufacturer require you to pay after 3, 5 or 7 years?
- sinkage: some mattress manufacturers warranty that their mattress will not permanently deform or sink more than 1″ or 2″, or you get a replacement or your money back. Ā Others are silent on this issue. Ā You know which one to choose.
Shipping Charges
Be aware that a mattress delivered to your home can incurĀ threeĀ (3)Ā potential shipping charges:
- Ā the original shipment to your home. Ā This charge is usually very clear. Most companies don’t charge for shipping to your home, and the ones that do tell you what that charge is before you place your order.
- returns: Make sure you understand whether or notĀ the company will charge you for shipping a returned mattress back to the factory
- replacements: If you decide to replace your mattress due to a defect or the wrong comfort level, then the replacement mattress has to be shipped to your home, too. Ā This also costs money. Ā Read the terms to understand who pays.
Shipping costs are typically $40-100 each way, depending on the size and construction of your mattress.
ItĀ makes sense to understand the above before placing that order.
