- The online marketplace for mattresses is more crowded than ever, with companies like Casper, Leesa, Bear, and more all vying for your business.
- So to help you find the best online mattress company for your specific sleep needs, we compared nine popular options.
- All of the online mattresses listed below offer a 90- or 100-night risk-free trial, free shipping and returns, and a 10-year warranty.
- Check out our guides to the best mattresses, the best sheets, and pillows you can buy.
The fact that buying a new mattress no longer requires driving to a showroom and then spending a few hours testing different options under fluorescent lights is a perk of modern life.
The explosion of online mattress startups means we can try out beds in the comfort of our homes, without hovering attendants, and skip the prices that accompany brick-and-mortar stores. What used to be a tedious afternoon has been simplified to a click.
It's great. But, the proliferation of options in a vast online marketplace where most mattresses look the same can make the buying process more convoluted than it should be. The products are cheaper, more convenient, and often better — but it can be impossible to distinguish which retailers' mattresses will suit your needs.
Keeping that in mind, we aimed to streamline the comparison process for you. Below are nine popular online mattress retailers and a cheat sheet comparing what each one's products are known for, to save you time. You can also just refer to our guide to the best mattress you can buy, which we regularly update.
All nine mattress retailers offer:
- A 10-year warranty
- Free shipping and easy returns
- A generous, 90- to 100-night sleep trial (Tempur-Pedic offers 90, most offer 100)
Once you do settle on a mattress, you can treat yourself to a new set of sheets for a job well done.
