HOW TO BUY A MATTRESS ONLINE?

Today, almost everything is purchased online, from clothes to furniture. But what about mattresses? Online shopping is convenient for those with a fast-paced lifestyle and who don’t need help from customer service. However, when it comes to mattresses, people still go to the store claiming that such an important purchase should be seen in real life first.

People then find themselves in a store, surrounded by rows of mattresses, with an attentive salesperson anxiously hovering around and making sure customers don’t touch the merchandise too much. It seems perplexing how one is supposed to find the best and most suitable one by trying out these dozens of mattresses.

If only there was a way to, based on certain features, filter and try only those mattresses available for sale that meet all the requirements and come in the right size. Oh well, on the internet, it’s much more convenient; everything is in front of you at once along with features, dimensions, and prices, allowing you to think and decide calmly. But how to address the issue of trying out a mattress?
There’s actually a solution that’s quite simple and allows you to test the mattress in real-life conditions, providing a much better sense of its suitability. That’s why Unela mattresses come with a 100-day return policy, provided you use the Dagkappa mattress cover.

So, yes, it’s worth trying out a mattress, but spending 15 minutes in a store with ten different mattresses isn’t very informative. It’s best to conduct the trial over an extended period, right at home. This way, nuances may emerge that don’t surface during a brief sit on a display bed in the store but could affect sleep quality over a more extended period.
Now that doubts have been dispelled and risks mitigated, here are some tips to make a good thing even better and make buying the right mattress online even easier.

KNOW YOUR DIMENSIONS

More precisely, not your own but those of your bed. Surprisingly, many people are not sure whether their bed is 140 or 160 cm wide, remember it incorrectly, or have never checked the size on the mattress label. The most reliable option is… no, not to look at the label of the old mattress. The most reliable option is to take a tape measure and determine the size of the mattress that fits inside the bed frame. If you don’t want to replace the entire bed, this is the most critical factor that determines everything else.

UNDERSTAND THE TERMINOLOGY

At least look into what terms like a “5-zone pocket spring system”, “Bonell spring system”, or “the impact of added coconut fiber material layer on a mattress” mean. This will help you decide if a particular feature is worth the extra cost. More details can be found here.

KNOW YOUR PREFERENCES

Do you prefer a firmer or softer mattress? Is the bed particularly wide, with sleepers having very different weights or preferences? In that case, it’s worth buying two 90 cm wide mattresses under a mattress topper instead of one 180 cm wide mattress, or a mattress that allows you to choose different spring blocks. What should the materials be? Cotton is soft and comfortable for the body, while foam is an unfavorable environment for dust mites.

CHECK THE REVIEWS

When choosing the best one from many good options becomes challenging, online reviews from other mattress owners can make navigating the softness-firmness scale and material selection a bit easier.
After that, just go and choose a new mattress on the Unela website. Our customer service is happy to assist those still encountering challenges via email, and within Harju County, we’ll pick up the old mattress. And if it does happen that the chosen mattress isn’t suitable, the person can get a full refund of the originally paid amount within 100 days. Sweet dreams!
