Going shopping at your local mattress store is not something you typically do every day or even every year. So, when the time comes for you to start looking around, one of the first things that should come to mind, is whether or not this is the best time to buy a mattress. Depending on how you look at it, anytime your old mattress gives out is the best time to buy one. The important part is trying to make the experience as much fun as possible; which means you need to find the right store in which to go shopping.
What Do You Look for in a Mattress Store?
What do you look for in a mattress store? What does it take to make one store stand out from the crowd? Is it low prices? Maybe. Great selection? Possibly. Friendly and knowledgeable staff? Most definitely. But why are these so important? And how can a mattress store put all of these factors together to provide a great shopping experience? Let’s find out.
Let’s look at it from the buyer’s point of view for a second. You’ve had the same bed for more years than you can remember; so long that your body is fully imprinted in the mattress. In fact, it fits you like a glove. Although this might sound like the perfect situation, it does not make for a good night’s sleep.
Store Number One
The first store you walk into has dozens upon dozens of mattresses, more brands than most people have ever heard of. The salesman asks you a couple of rudimentary questions and then starts to push you to buy the McSleepmaster 5000. The price is okay, it looks nice enough, but just doesn’t feel quite right. When you say something, he tells you it will settle in after the first few days. Does this sound like the best time to buy a mattress? Probably not.
Store Number Two
The next mattress store you walk into has a well-lit showroom with a good selection of top brand mattresses and their own in-house brand. The salesperson greets you with a warm friendly smile, exchanges pleasantries and starts to talk to you about why you came in. He then asks you a series of very pointed yet non-intrusive questions about how you sleep, how your partner sleeps, any health issues you might have, and several more.
He then shows you several different mattresses, each of which has been chosen specifically based on the answers you gave the salesperson. To make matters even better, the prices are lower than those in that discount store you were in earlier. If this sounds like the kind of mattress store you would prefer to shop in, we would like to cordially invite you to come into your nearby Bed’r Mattress store.
