There are many benefits to buying a mattress online versus in the store. First, you can typically save money when buying online, since many mattress brands offer online discounts. Also, you save yourself a trip (or many trips) to the store. If you’re worried about trying out a mattress before you buy, many of the brands offer trial periods and free returns - with many offering trials as long as 365 nights. And best of all, the mattress ships directly to your door (most brands do it for free too).

This really depends on the materials used in its construction and whether it is flippable. In general, though, you should replace your mattress every 5-10 years. Some signs that it’s time to replace your mattress include waking up feeling stiff or achy, discomfort and poor sleep quality, and signs of wear and tear.

This depends on your personal preferences. Are you a side sleeper? Do you want an organic mattress? There are many variables when choosing the right mattress, such as firmness, mattress materials, sleep position, temperature preference, and more.

When it comes to the size of your mattress, it comes down to three main considerations: the amount of space you want, the number of sleepers, and your budget. You also want to ensure your mattress will fit in your bedroom, so it’s important to first measure your room. Generally, a twin or twin extra-long mattress is big enough for one adult or child. A full-size mattress is the smallest size for two sleepers. A queen size is the most popular choice for a couple, and a king size is great for a couple that wants a bit more space. A California king is longer than a standard king, but a bit narrower.

Mattress prices vary according to a number of factors such as the materials it is made from and the size of the mattress. Mattresses that are bought online typically cost much less than similar models found in stores, mainly because online brands save on the costs associated with retail spaces. These savings are then passed onto you! We only include reputable, highly recommended mattress brands on our site and help you find them at a variety of price points to fit your budget.

Most modern mattresses don’t need to be flipped. They are designed with a particular order of layers to ensure your support and comfort, so flipping the mattress would result in the layers being reversed. Granted, certain mattresses will be advertised as 'flippable', sometimes with one firmness level on one side of the mattress and a different firmness level on the opposite side, essentially giving you two mattresses in one. As for rotating, most mattresses should be rotated once or twice a year. Read the instructions that come with your mattress to determine the best way to extend its lifespan.
