Today, our whole lives are lived online. From paying bills to watching movies to talking with friends, most of us are glued to our screens searching for the next big thing.
The online mattress industry has taken the internet by storm. Word of mouth exposure and sponsorships have put brands like Casper and Purple into everyone’s minds generating a paradigm shift in the way we think about our sleep.
Online mattress retailers understand that buying a bed is already a big purchase, both physically and financially, so customer service and personalized care are a priority. Many of these retailers offer generous money back guarantees and return policies to ensure peace of mind for consumers. Even the shipping of mattresses has been completely revamped to be more user friendly. Most mattresses are factory compressed into rectangular boxes as small as a filing cabinet, eliminating the need (and not to mention costs) for movers or third party shipping companies.
This infographic has everything you need to know about the shifting landscape of the mattress industry and what it means for our future zzz’s.
