   When shopping for a mattress both online retailers and brick and mortar stores have advantages. Online retailers are good for educational purposes providing browsing convenience, a wide mattress selection, and fast pricing comparisons, but they often have longer delivery times, require setup which can be quite difficult, and returns can be a nightmare. On the other hand, brick and mortar stores provide a personal customer experience including: faster delivery and setup, option to remove old mattress/bed set, chance to fine tune your unique sleep feel, better chance to negotiate price, and sales staff are knowledgeable about technology/trends. As with any online purchase, buyers should be careful not to fall victim to profit driven marketing tactics, which compromise quality for convenience and sacrificing your goodnight’s sleep.
