Buyer’s Guide for Bed Sales

Pre-Sale Planning

Shoppers love a great sale, so planning ahead can help save hundreds to thousands of dollars when it comes to a new bed. Be sure to check websites in advance to see what sales are coming your way. It may even help to reach out to the company directly to find out if there is a deal popping up soon.

Price/Budget

Products vary in price, just like shoppers vary in how much they are willing to spend. It is important to establish a budget before you even begin looking. Do this first and you are less likely to get sucked into buying a bed that is too expensive for your needs.

Identifying Needs and Preferences

What you like is likely going to be different from what your neighbor, parents, or even your spouse enjoys. Every person has their own unique body, favorite sleeping position, and preferences. When it comes to mattresses, there are a lot of different things to take into account.

Do you want it firm or soft? Should it have cooling features? Know what you like and decide what you want before shopping.

Type of Bed

There are a lot of different types of mattresses. Here we will cover some of the most common materials manufacturers use to construct their beds.

Memory Foam

Memory foam, also known as viscoelastic foam, is a slow responding polyurethane foam that uses chemicals to give it that sticky, deep hugging feel. It is called memory foam because you can often observe your imprint lasting several seconds as the material regains its shape. This material fosters pressure relief and helps to provide deep contouring comfort.

Innerspring

Most innerspring products use a pocket coil that is separate from the other coils in the bed, allowing it to trap motion in place, though there are still some brands that use a more classic steel coil system. Innerspring options are often topped with polyfoam, memory foam, or latex. These products are great for people wanting extra support or bounce.

Latex

This material is quickly becoming one of the most popular bedding products. It comes in two different types: Dunlop and Talalay. These differ in how they are made but have many of the same characteristics.

Both are harvested from rubber trees and have pinholes throughout the construction. Latex beds come in varying firmnesses and is extremely responsive.

Hybrid

Though these are most commonly associated with innerspring beds, they are technically any mattress that uses two or more different materials beneath the surface of the bed. Hybrids mattresses are growing in popularity because they offer a diverse feel, allowing sleepers to enjoy multiple types of materials.

Trial Period

These differ with each brand but some companies have been known to offer up to an entire year. Shoppers get to test the bed out in their home for the amount of time given by the trial period, and if they do not like it, they can decide to process a return with the company.

Returns

Return policies vary with each company you shop with. Many brands will pick up the mattress and ship it back to their manufacture, while others will arrange for the bed to be donated to a charity. There are a few brands that may require the customers to pay for the shipping cost.

Warranty

While most brands offer warranties that average out to be somewhere around 10 years, there are a few companies that offer their customers lifetime coverage. These typically cover irregular damages that happen to the mattress due to manufacturing. It is important to check with each company to understand their policy.

What sizes are typically on sale during Columbus Day?

Is it better to go to a store or shop online?

Many shoppers go to stores like Macy’s, Costco, or Sears to pick up their mattresses. While these retailers may be perfectly viable options, buying online usually helps save customers money, even without a sale.
