Tips for Shopping for a New Mattress on Black Friday

All mattresses are definitely not created equal, so when you're looking to buy one, there are a few things you should keep in mind, so that you end up with what you really need.

Buying a new mattress can be a lot of fun and Black Friday is the best time to get the best deal possible. Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving and is when the holiday shopping season kicks off. However, with so many sales swirling around, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. How do you know which one is the best?

At Nothing But Beds, we strive to help you find the mattress that fits your personal needs and sleep goals. We have two locations in North Carolina to serve you: Andrews and Murphy. We are open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Below, we’ll go over a few of the do’s and don’ts when it comes to shopping for a new mattress on Black Friday.

Do’s & Don’ts for Mattress Shopping on Black Friday

Check the price history

The truth is that mattress prices jump around a lot. Therefore, it’s common to see different prices at different times on the same mattress. However, you can be sure that you will typically find the lowest prices on Black Friday- no matter what type of mattress you’re interested in. When you are shopping for a mattress, take the time to research price history to help you determine if you’re getting a good deal.

Look for a trial period offer

According to experts, it takes about 21 days for your body to adjust to a new mattress, which means you want to make sure the mattress you choose offers a trial period. This will allow you to try it out risk-free, which is beneficial when you’re not exactly sure what you want or need. If there is a trial period, you can return it for something else if you’re not fully satisfied.

Shop around for the best discounts

At Nothing but Beds, we strive to put together packages that give our customers the most benefit. However, you must decide which one is best for you. For example, in some cases, a new mattress may come with free pillows, sheets, and more. If you already have a lot of these things, you may be more interested in a percentage-off type of deal.  

Don’t buy based on price alone

When you see a great price on a mattress, it can be easy to snatch it up. However, just because it’s a great price doesn’t mean it’s the best option for your sleep style. For example, does the mattress have the appropriate firmness for your body? Will it give you the pressure relief you need?

On the other hand, it’s also important to note that expensive does not always equal superior. There are plenty of affordable options that will give you the benefits you need so that you get the best sleep possible.

Look for free gifts

If you have a hard time choosing between two great deals, take a look at other perks offered. There are some that may only offer a percentage off or a free gift, while others may offer both. Therefore, examine your options and choose the one that makes the most sense for your personal needs and desires.

Know what you need

Any time you are purchasing a mattress, it’s important that you know exactly what you need. If you share your bed with someone, you may want to consider memory foam, as there is less motion transfer. A foam model is ideal for those who sleep on their sides, due to the cushioning around the knees and hips.

You’ll also want to consider your body weight. Most lightweight individuals need a softer mattress, while heavier individuals need a firmer surface. A hybrid is a great option, as they are usually more breathable. If you tend to sleep hot, you’ll want to consider a graphite-infused foam or cooling gel memory foam to help regulate your temperature.

Check the warranty

Mattress warranties are put in place to protect consumers against manufacturer defects, such as seams coming undone, sagging, and broken coils. A good warranty proves the manufacturer is confident in the quality of their bed. The average warranty is 10 years, though some may offer more or less.
