A Guide to Purchasing a Mattress Online

Have you recently noticed a number of ads for mattress brands selling their beds online? One company may appear on your social media feeds, while its competitor sponsors your favorite podcast. In theory, you will spend about one third of your life sleeping, so it makes sense to invest in a high-quality mattress. The question is, which one should you choose? This week on Randolph Towers Blog, we’d like to help you find the mattress that’s right for you without even having to leave your house.

Tuft and Needle

Tuft and Needle has two major selling points, in our opinion: Its mattresses are priced lower than other companies’ and it still has the most reviews on Amazon! While the standard mattress only has two layers of foam, the company claims that these layers are higher quality than competitors’. As you can read on the website, “If the foam doesn’t improve the feel or airflow, you won’t find it in our mattress.”

Casper

When it comes to popularity, the Casper mattress currently tops the charts. This brand’s classic option has four layers of foam that vary in firmness so as to offer the optimal level of support and comfort. While the price of this mattress is average in comparison, Casper offers an essential model with one less layer of foam for an even better price. If you’re looking for a mattress that is well loved by many, Casper may just be your best bet!

Helix

For an option that is a bit less “one size fits all,” Helix definitely has something for you! The company sells nine different mattresses according to your specific needs, and six of those options come in an upgraded luxe version, as well. Before you scroll through each choice, take the simple sleep quiz offered to find which one is best for you in terms of your sleep position, your preferred comfort level, and your preferred amount of support.

Purple

The Purple mattress is by far the most innovative option when it comes to materials used to help you have a comfortable night’s sleep. Purple is known for its top layer, which is made of purple elastic material; the company claims it helps you stay cool without compensating the support you need and the pressure relief you deserve. The layers underneath are made of foam; the mattress seems to be slightly firmer than its competitors while remaining comfortable enough to sleep on.

 

Now that you know what sets each company apart, it’s time to make your decision! Are you hesitant to order a mattress before testing it out? Not to worry! Each of these companies offers a 100 night sleep trial with free returns, no questions asked. On top of that, each — with the exception of Tuft and Needle — offers financing options so you don’t have to break the bank to get the quality of sleep you deserve. Here’s to a better night’s rest every night in your Arlington, VA apartment!
