I used to believe that it was very important to go into a stoer to test a mattress before buying it. However mattress stores have gotten so expensive that Icannot afforda  good mattess from the giant stores. Therefore, I decided to try an online mattess company for my last purchase. The benefit is that they give you a 30 day home trial before you have to commit to your purchase. This time gives you a real opportunity to decide if your new bed is right for you. If you buy from the stores they will tell you that you had a chance to "test" out the bed, which has happened to me. At this point good luck ggetting an exchange or a refund from the major mattress stores. There are online companies out there who sell luxury top of the line beds for the same prices that sleepys sells their lowest quality beds. My suggestion to you is that you do your homework and research some online mattess companies before you invest your hard earned money in major mattress chains.
