How to Order a Mattress Online Safely and Easily

You’ve probably ordered many things online before. Most people have, especially since the pandemic made in-person shopping so difficult, if not impossible. But making a major purchase like a mattress is different from ordering a few little knickknacks. Here’s how to order a mattress online in the safest, easiest way.

Look for A Reputable Online Furniture Store

There are a lot of fly-by-night furniture companies online. You place your order, and in the blink of an eye, your money is gone, and you have nothing to show for it. Either the merchandise never arrives, it’s in sorry shape when you get it, or it isn’t the good quality mattress you ordered. That’s why you need to make sure you’re dealing with a reputable furniture store before you even begin to shop. Here are some tips for finding the best online stores.

• Read ratings and reviews – on their site and elsewhere.
• Notice whether they sell top name brands.
• Check their return policy.
• Look for security badges.
• Find out about their delivery options and policies.

Set Up an Account

If you’re going to spend a significant amount of time looking on a furniture website for a mattress, go ahead and set up an account. This allows you to put things in the shopping cart and come back to decide on them later. It also provides a safe way to enter your payment details and convenient order tracking. When you set up your account, don’t be lazy! Choose a strong password that has 15 characters, with upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. And stay away from common words, names, and dates.

Order Your Mattress

Now, it’s time to order your mattress online. As you look through the options, use your shopping cart as a decision-making tool. Here’s how to do it. Go through the list of different mattresses in the size and comfort level you want. When you find one that seems like a good option in quality and price, drop it in the shopping cart. But keep looking. Continue to add your favorite choices into the cart. When you have a list of five or more, it’s time to look closer. Compare the details of these top picks and make your final selection. Then, all you have to do is remove the other items from your cart and hit the order button.

Arranging for a Safe Delivery

The new mattress you’ve just ordered online won’t be safe in your home until after the delivery process is completed. If you’ve chosen the right furniture store, you know they’ll take care of your mattress on the way to your home. But you need to do your part too. You should be able to work with the delivery driver to get the delivery time that works best for you.

Ideally, you will arrange to be home when the mattress arrives so that it won’t be damaged by weather or stolen by thieves after the delivery team leaves it. If there’s no way you can be there, arrange with a friend or family member to take your place.

You can order a mattress online just as safely and easily as you could get one in a store. In fact, in most cases, it’s even safer and simpler. Use these tips to make sure you get your mattress without a bit of hassle.
