Mattress Finder

When shopping at mattressfirm.com, the site offers a helpful Mattress Finder tool to help you evaluate what you find most important in a mattress, and which mattresses are the best fit, based on your size, nighttime aches and pains, preferences, and more. If you share a bed, you and a partner can even fill out the quiz together to help evaluate both sleepers' needs and wants, to find the perfect mattress. 

Whether looking for a soft, firm, or medium mattress, shoppers will be able to find a mattress for any and all sleeping positions soft, firm, or medium mattress, for all sleeping positions. There are even mattresses that cater to common sleeper complaints, like pain in the hips, lack of edge support. Hot sleepers will even be able to find a great night's sleep. In foam beds, ventilated memory foam or cooling gel-infused memory foam are often added as a foam layer on top of a base foam layer made of supportive high-density foam. This special cooling foam is also offered as an added comfort layer on hybrid and innerspring mattresses, often along with a specially-designed cooling mattress cover. 

APR Financing Options

Mattress Firm offers*  a couple of financing options to its customers: 

Mattress Firm Credit Card

Shoppers can apply for a Mattress Firm Credit Card online or in stores. It is offered by Synchrony Bank and has everyday promotional offers*, including 6-12 months interest-free financing. After the promo period, interest will be applied to your account, from the date of purchase. But, if you pay it off prior to the deadline, you can save a lot of money. 

In addition to this promotional offer, Mattress Firm offers special financing promotions throughout the year to qualified card holders. 

No Credit Needed Option

Shoppers can also buy a new mattress with assistance from Progressive Leasing. This is a rent-to-own, leas-purchase agreement. No credit is required. 

Basic application requirements include: 

  • At least 18 years old
  • A social security number or ITIN
  • A credit or debit card
  • Your checking account and routing number
  • Your government-issued photo ID
  • Your employer phone number and zipcode

While this is one of the few ways to get a mattress with less than $100 down, it can add up to be really expensive if you aren't able to pay the full amount, plus service fee in the first 90 days. 

This option is not available to people in Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, Wisconsin, or Wyoming. 

*Offer applies to single-receipt qualifying purchases. No interest will be charged on the promo purchase including taxes and delivery if you pay the promo purchase amount in full within 6 or 12 months. If you do not pay within that time, interest will be charged on the promo purchase from the purchase date. Depending on purchase amount, promotion length and payment allocation, the required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off purchase by end of promotional period. Regular account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to promotional balance. For new accounts: Purchase APR is 29.99%; Minimum Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders should see their credit card agreement for their applicable terms. Subject to credit approval. We reserve the right to discontinue or alter the terms of this offer any time.

Shipping and Delivery

Mattress Firm delivers within the continental United States and offers free delivery on online orders over $499. 

When buying a mattress online, shipping options include: 

  • Curbside delivery
  • White glove delivery (including setup)
  • Red carpet delivery (includes setup and a time window)

Available options often depend on the mattress you choose. Once you enter your zip code, the Mattress Firm website can even show you which mattresses are available for same day or next day delivery. 

If your order doesn't qualify for free shipping, the charge is $79. This applies to online mattress purchases only. Each mattress store has its own shipping policies. 

120 Night Sleep Trial

To help relieve some of the mattress buying pressure, this mattress retailer offers a 120-night sleep trial, with a return or exchange to help make sure you get a comfortable mattress. You must give the mattress some time to break-in, so you need to sleep on it for 30 nights before contacting customer service. 

If you are still tossing and turning after 30 nights, you can do a one-time exchange for $79.99-$99.99. 

If you aren’t comfortable on your new mattress, you can return it for a refund less an additional return delivery fee of $79.99-$99.99 plus a restocking fee of 10% of your original purchase price or $250, whichever is less. 

In the mattress industry, an in-home trial is becoming more of the norm, but the charge for this service ranges from free to several hundred dollars. Policies vary according to each of the different mattress companies. 

Price Guarantee

When mattress shopping, you want to make sure that you get a good mattress at the best price possible, whether you are shopping in-store or online. Mattress Firm helps you sleep easy with a 120-night low price guarantee. The retailer will beat any advertised price by 10% or your purchase is free within that time frame. 

There are a few standard terms and conditions, but this is still a great benefit. You can get popular mattresses like Serta iComfort or Beautyrest, knowing that you will be covered if you see a better price advertised elsewhere. Just contact customer service for assistance.

Large Variety of Products 

Mattress Firm offers a large variety of mattress options to help the majority of shoppers find a good night’s sleep. You will be able to find the mattress you are looking for by using filters on their corporate website. As with most online retailers, you can filter by several parameters: 

  • Mattress size  — Crib, Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King
  • Comfort (firmness) — Extra Firm, Firm, Medium, Plush, and Ultra Plush
  • Budget — Under $300, $300–$599, $600–$999, $1,000–$1,599, $1,600+
  • Mattress type — Innerspring mattress, memory foam mattress, hybrid mattress, encased coil mattress, pillow top mattress, gel memory foam mattress, bed-in-a-box
  • Mattress brand
  • Top-rated mattresses

Contact Options

Because this is a large company, you can get help from customer service online via live chat, or over the phone. Customer service is available Monday–Saturday 8 AM to 9 PM Central and Sunday from 8 AM to 7 PM Central. 

Nationwide Presence

With a physical presence in 49 states, Mattress Firm is a well-known brand. When shopping with most online mattress companies, you don't even have an option to test out a bed. For shoppers that know what they want and how to find it, this isn't an issue. However, for first-time mattress shoppers, finding the perfect mattress without even touching one can be hard, because you might not know the describing words for features that you have grown to expect in a good mattress. 

This is where the huge Mattress Firm store network comes in handy. 

Online, shoppers can see which mattresses are available at local Mattress Firm stores, then go to get a better look. While you often won't be able to tell which model is the perfect mattress for you lying on it in a showroom for a few minutes, you can get a better idea of the firmness level, comfort features, type of mattress, type of pressure relief, and even mattress depth that you like best. 

Being able to easily and locally drop by to shop mattresses in-person is a great resource, especially when buying a mattress for the first time on your own. This also goes for couples trying to find a mattress that both will be happy with, especially if each individual has a different sleeping position.

The Bad

  • Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Mattress Firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 5th, 2018, which will result in the possible closing of up to 700 retail store locations. This will soon make trying out a mattress a little harder for those living near closing locations. Currently, you can easily browse your options online and see where the nearest storeroom model is available to test out.

HJS Port Saint Lucie, FL

At the Jensen Beach, FL store, the twenty-something employee -the only one working there at the time, which was several days before Christmas- couldn't help me load the boxes onto my car claiming he has a bad back. Why hire such a young man who cannot help customers get their purchases out of the store? It makes no sense. He looked physically fit and able to help out.

I didn't like the customer service and the delivery time. It took about a month to wait for the delivery that was prolonged to infinite time after a month. I understand that there supply chain crisis but I just simply bought on the other online retailer. Didn't work for me

I really liked the mattress when I first bought it. However, I am not impressed with how it has worn over the years. Even with rotating and flipping the mattress it is not nearly as supportive as it once was.

They sold me a mattress that was comfortable for the first 90 days, and now there is a hole where I usually sleep which makes my bed extremely uncomfortable if I try to sleep in an alternate position.

Bought a bed and it only lasted me a year. The pricing was good but quality lacked. I will say that the employees are amazing.
