The online buying experience when it comes to mattress shopping is way more simple and convenient than going to a store. Brands like Helix and Purple make buying a mattress-in-a-box and having it shipped straight to your door a very easy process. The one hesitancy you may have about buying a mattress online is not being able to try before you buy.
The good news is you still can. Even though online mattress retailers have made the mattress shopping experience way less of a hassle, brands are starting to catch on to the fact that it's a good idea to let people see and feel what they're buying in real life, especially given how personal buying a mattress can be. No one likes having to deal with the return process, after all, and mattress returns are no different.
It's a hassle to have someone deliver a mattress, only to come back and pack it up again -- even if the original purchase is "risk free." So, if you're interested in buying a mattress online, but are curious about trying them out IRL first, you've got options. Major retailers such as Macy's, West Elm, and Target are now selling popular online mattress brands in stores where you can go try them out.
Brands including Casper , one of the biggest (and earliest) players in the online mattress movement, are opening brick-and-mortar stores or showrooms where customers can try the mattresses before they buy. And these innovative stores claim to be nothing like the traditional mattress retailers you used to dread visiting. Below.
