Memorial Day – May 30 – is right around the corner, which means it may be the right time for you to invest in a new mattress! If you wake up feeling tired each morning or have chronic back pain as a result of a lumpy, old mattress, now is the moment for you to get a better night's sleep by tossing out your uncomfortable mattress.
When shopping for a brand new mattress, you can choose from memory foam, innerspring and adjustable air style that range from firm to soft to suit your needs! If you need a new mattress, but are unsure why and how you should buy one on Memorial Day weekend, listen to these valuable pieces of advice!
WHY should you shop for a new mattress on Memorial Day?
Many consumers wonder why Memorial Day (along with the Fourth of July and Labor Day) is the best time to buy a new mattress. If you are like many knowledgeable customers, you may hear about major mattress sales at furniture stores around the country, but are unsure why this is the case. The reason is inventory.
Each year, the newest and most improved mattress models enter the marketplace sometime around May and September, according to Sleep.org. As a result, many companies and manufacturers reduce the price of last year's models and older styles to make ample room for their upcoming stock.
Therefore, retailers then plan these mega-sales around national holidays that most consumers have off from work, giving them an opportunity to browse and test out their stock. Sometimes mattresses can be up to 50 percent off their original price, making Memorial Day weekend the best time to shop!
HOW should you shop for a new mattress on Memorial Day?
Hopefully, you have decided to make your way to your local furniture and mattress store this upcoming holiday. If so, you may be wondering about the best practices for buying a mattress during a blow-out sale. How can you concentrate on buying the right mattress for your sleeping preference, health and budget when there are so many options and discounts? Here are two simple ideas that may keep you from feeling overwhelmed this holiday weekend:
- Don't be afraid to test it out: Retailers want consumers to test out their mattresses on Memorial Day because they know that it is never a good idea, for the consumer or the retailer, to buy a mattress without trying it out first. For example, while you may think you need a firm mattress, you may be surprised to find that your sleep style or personal health considerations require to shop for a softer model or a mattress with a better support system that you would never have tried out if you hadn't come into the store. Don't just buy the most affordable mattress if it will actually be worse for your back or quality of sleep. Take time to test out various models and technologies to discover the right solution for you.
- Work your way from the back to front: If you are on a strict budget, the price is a huge focal point for your Memorial Day shopping needs. Depending on the store, the least expensive mattresses may still be in the back, while the pricier models may be up front. However, on Memorial Day, some of the best deals may be displayed as soon as you walk in to grab your attention. Regardless, there may be hidden gems away from the initial storefront sales, so take the time to make your way to the back before deciding on the mattress you want. Also, don't be afraid to ask about special financing options or added gifts or give-aways that are routinely common on holiday weekends.
