Need a New Mattress? Shop Local!

You might have seen flashy advertisements from big box stores about their current deals on mattresses. But if you go there, you’re likely to encounter pushy, yet inexperienced and poorly informed salespeople – not to mention a limited selection of brands and models. And since big box stores have astronomical overhead, you can expect to shell out big bucks for that new mattress. Even if you can get a good financing deal from a big box store, would you really want to pay for a mattress for the next five to 10 years? By the time it’s paid off, you’ll be ready to start shopping for a new one. Instead, join the “locavore” movement and shop smarter for a better night’s sleep.

At Mattress World Northwest in Portland, you’ll find a superior selection and have unlimited access to friendly staff members who are knowledgeable about their products. Plus, you’ll get all of those benefits at a much lower price.

Keep more money in your wallet when mattress shopping

Getting a good night’s sleep is about achieving better quality of life. High-quality sleep in the right amounts supports your health. Researchers have found links to sleep and weight control, and heart health, among others. So it isn’t necessarily the best idea to pick the cheapest mattress you can find. But, that being said, affordability is usually a top priority for most mattress shoppers.

Big box stores and chain stores usually ship their inventory in from several states away – or even farther. They have high payments on real property and property taxes for their storage warehouses. Chain stores spend millions in advertisement, often hiring marketing agencies, video producers, and professional actors – not to mention the budget for air time. All of these factors combined mean that you can expect to shell out plenty of bucks for your new mattress. But why would you want to put your hard-earned money into some corporate executive’s salary when you can pay far less and support your local economy?

Smaller mattress shops like Mattress World Northwest buy mattresses locally, spend very little on advertising, and have minimal storage costs. They can pass these savings on to their customers.

Talk to folks who know mattresses inside and out

Local mattress shops might not spend big bucks on fancy advertising, but they do invest in what truly matters: Exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly staff members who genuinely care about helping each customer find their best night’s sleep.

You’ll be met with a friendly greeting and you’ll be encouraged to explain your sleep preferences at length so that the staff member can help you learn about the mattress models that might work best for you.
