With the growth in online shopping it is no surprise that many people are now opting to buy their new beds and mattresses online rather than in traditional stores. If you’ve yet to fully embrace online shopping when buying a new bed or mattress, here are the pros and cons of purchasing them online.
Pros of buying a bed online
Great deals and prices
Shopping online for beds and mattresses means that customers can browse an entire range of products from a vast number of well known quality brands that they wouldn’t be able to see in a store. This means that customers are able to hunt down the best deals and prices for their budgets much more easily than they would be able to in a traditional store. As well as this, throughout the year many online retailers will hold sales and discounts – giving shoppers even better value for their money.
Delivered straight to your door
Online bed and mattresses retailers will normally not only deliver the product straight to your door, but also offer free delivery as part of the sales deal. This saves customers the hassle of having to arrange delivery or having to pay extra to have the product delivered. In addition to this, once delivered the company will usually ensure that the bed and mattress are in the correct room before leaving, again saving the customer the hassle of having to move heavy furniture themselves.
Extensive range to choose from
As online bed and mattress retailers aren’t confined by space they are able to stock a much more extensive range of products than store retailers. Customers can browse the entire range online. Browsing online means you can filter products to suit your requirement such as explicitly filtering for Double Mattresses, specialist TV Beds, or even high quality Mattress Toppers. This gives customers a much wider choice of products and ensure that they are able to find exactly the right bed and mattress for their needs and budgets.
Convenient shopping experience
One of the biggest appeals of shopping online in the convenience. Customers often live very busy lives and don’t have the time to go shopping during day, however shopping online means that they can do this within the comfort of their own home and at any time of the day or night. As well as this shopping online means not having to deal with pushy sales people or having to make repeated trips to the shop to ensure that the choice made is the right one.
Cons of buying a bed online
Need to do research
One of the biggest drawbacks of buying a bed and mattress online is the fact that you can’t test them out beforehand. This means that you will have to do thorough research to ensure you choose the right product for your individual needs prior to making a purchase. Many online retailers, however, do accept returns as long as the bed and mattress haven’t been used, but it can be annoying to keep buying and returning products. Again, extensive research before making a purchase such as reading online reviews and viewing video reviews will help ensure customers choose the right product before purchase.
While there is a drawback to buying a bed and mattress online, the pros far outweigh the cons. It is for this reason that more and more shoppers are opting to head online when wanting to buy a new bed and mattress.
