A commonly asked question is whether or not it’s a good idea to buy a mattress online or in a Lafayette store. While there are benefits and drawbacks of each option, it can be a good idea to consider both options, depending on your needs, budget and timing.
Physical Stores
The primary advantage of buying in a store is that you can try it out before you buy it. You can lie down on the bed, wiggle around and thoroughly test it out before deciding to buy. This isn’t possible online and could lead you to buy something that isn’t comfortable.
The salespeople will also be able to answer your questions and give advice about the bed that works best for you. If you’re unsure of what you want, it may be better to go into a mattress store in Lafayette to get the help you need.
The problem with stores is that they are usually overpriced. Unless you’re an excellent negotiator, you could spend double the amount for your bed. Online shops don’t have the same overhead costs and can pass those savings to you.
Online Shops
While you can’t try before you buy when shopping online, many companies now offer a 30-day money back guarantee. This allows you to sleep on the bed for a full 30 days before making a final decision. If you’re unhappy for any reason, you can return it. However, make sure you read the fine print about returns, as you may be liable for shipping/handling costs.
While you can’t ask a person about various options, most websites include information about who may benefit from that bed and why. You can also search online at Mattress Direct website for information about particular beds, making the salesperson (who may be pushy) unnecessary.
