Buying A Mattress Online
Ever bought a mattress online?
Millions did, last year.
The so-called bed-in-a-box business isn’t new, but over the past 5 years, it has grown by leaps and bounds.
Many credit the recent growth with Casper, who introduced the now-standard 100 night risk-free in-home trial. And, of course, Casper’s price is 50% less than comparable mattresses sold in stores.
Now, instead of weeks spent shopping in stores and sitting on beds for 5 minutes, you can order one online and spend months testing your new mattress in your own home. If you don’t like it, then you can get your money back and buy another one. Today, buying online makes a LOT of sense.
When the online mattress business kicked into gear, only a handful of companies sold online. Leaders Nest Bedding, Casper and Saatva were the first brands to take off.
But today, there are more than 50 companies selling mattresses online. Many are startups who focus on unique needs, custom-made beds or value. Some of the newest entrants are long-established brands like Tempurpedic.
Which begs the question: how do you find the right online mattress – from 50 companies?
Enter the infographic below, just published by SleepDelivered.com, a site that specializes in reviewing and comparing mattresses sold online.
This infographic explains the 13 features you should consider when shopping for a mattress online. Some are unique to online mattress shopping, so take note.

FIRMNESS & COMFORT LEVEL
Today, there is a mattress for every comfort level
SOFT – MEDIUM – FIRM
MATTRESS CONSTRUCTION
Whether memory foam, latex, innerspring, every layer of a mattress contributes to your sleep experience.

Cover | X | X | X | ||
Top Layer | X | X | X | X | X |

cover / topper
layer dividers
Medical-Grade Gels

gel-infused foam
Aerated Layers
porous foam
spring coils
MOTION TRANSFER
How readily a mattress transfers motion from one side to the other.
Important for fidgety couple. Singles without pets won’t care.
SINKAGE
How deep does your mattress sink when you lie on it?
Back-sleepers & couples usually prefer minimal sinkage.
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
What is your mattress made of?
If you care about the environment and your health, make sure your mattress is certified by one of these organizations.
OFF-GASSING
Memory foam mattresses often release volatile organic gases right after unpacking.
Not dangerous, but it bothers some people. Typically disappears after a few days.
IN-HOME TRIAL & RETURN POLICY
How long can you use the mattress in your home, risk-free?
Most online mattress companies offer a 100-night money-back guarantee.
RETURN POLICY
Most online mattress companies offer a 100% refund on returns, no questions asked.
But check the terms – some won’t pick their mattress up; others charge a fee.
WARRANTY
Warranties range from 10 to 25 years, depending on brand.
Definitely read the fine print: some warranties reduce the value over the life of the mattress (pro-rated warranty). Others limit the wear and tear.
Pro-Rated Warranty?
Is Wear & Tear Covered?
DELIVERY & SETUP
Mattress online companies vary widely in their delivery policies and fees.
Delivery Option | Flexible Delivery Schedule? | Unpacking & Setup | Fee If You Miss? |
Company Deliver | No | DIY | No |
White Glove Service | Yes | Done For You | Yes |
