Have you been thinking about buying a memory foam mattress but you’re scared off by the prices? Do you feel like a memory foam mattress is too expensive? Well, if you buy one from “leading brand,” it is too expensive. “Leading brand” spends millions of dollars a year on their advertising, that’s why their name is so well known. But who do you think is paying for that advertising — you are! The consumer pays to make “leading brand” a household name!
Shopping online can save you a lot of money on a quality memory foam mattress. Save Money While Shopping points out the many different products you can save money on if you buy them online. A mattress is no different. Online memory foam mattress retailers can offer quality memory foam mattresses at about half the cost of “leading brand.” This is due to their low overhead and low advertising costs.
When buying a memory foam mattress online, you just need to do a little homework and you can save a lot of money on quality mattress. Here are 3 great rules to follow:
- Make sure the retailer you buy from is monitored by third party organizations like Shopping.com and the Better Business Bureau.
- Make sure you have at least 180 days to try your mattress in your own home.
- Make sure you can get your money back (say no to store credits or comfort guarantees) if the mattress isn’t right for you.
