Still hesitating to shop on the internet? Are you embarrassed and not very reassured by not being able to be advised by a salesperson? Today, you can buy everything on the internet. Buying on the web saves you time and with the mobile you can shop wherever you are 24/7.
Let Nova Literie’s arguments convince you to buy your mattress online with complete confidence.
Save money by buying your mattress online
In 2016, nearly 100,000 mattresses were bought online in France. This represents more than 60 million euros in turnover for the year, a market that has been growing steadily in recent years. In the furniture industry, of which bedding is a part, it is the only segment that is really growing (over the year 2016, mattress sales grew by 5.5%). This increase can be explained by the growing interest of the French in interior decoration and well-being.
Bedding sellers offer very attractive prices throughout the year to increase the volume of their orders. The prices are lower than in stores because they also have lower charges when selling online compared to physical shops. There are also fewer storage and personnel costs. Mattresses sold on the internet are 30% to 50% cheaper than in a shop. You can find such low prices only by going to a factory outlet store.
Promo codes and flash sales are very frequent on the internet. Delivery is often free. What in the end represents significant savings. Novaliterie suggests you to take advantage of these good deals to offer you a box spring adapted to your mattress and everything you need to fall into the arms of Morpheus in all serenity.
You must be wary of too attractive offers. A quality mattress requires a certain investment, a guarantee of quality and durability over time. These low prices are very tempting, but chances are you will have to replace your mattress after only a few months. Comparing several sites will help you avoid certain scams. We will come back to this in more detail in another paragraph.
What is the average price of a mattress online?
Indeed, the prices of mattresses online are more attractive than in traditional stores. However, vigilance is required since too low prices can sometimes hide a scam or poor quality. Nova Literie observes that more and more mattresses are made from innovative foams, which are recognised as being more comfortable, to the detriment of spring mattresses which are less and less marketed. And this trend can be felt all the more on the internet: there are very few spring mattresses on the market. Even if the online mattress market is rather recent, many companies have already established themselves on the French territory. Price differences can therefore be observed according to the various e-commerce sites specialising in bedding.
Thus we have made a small comparison of the price of foam mattresses sold online. For the double mattress, the most common, with dimensions 140 x 200 cm, the average online price will be around 700 €. While in store, with the same dimensions, the average price of the mattress will generally exceed 1 000 €. For single mattresses with dimensions 90 x 200 cm, the price will be around €500. In shops, single mattresses are more expensive, often starting at €750. However, this price difference does not always justify a higher quality for mattresses sold in shops. In addition, online bedding brands usually develop a more limited range of mattresses, or even a single model, available in different sizes. This difference shows the willingness of many e-commerce sites to develop a quality product, available in different formats. Thus, low prices do not necessarily mean low quality.
Payment is easy on the internet
Several methods of payment are available to you. You have the choice to pay by bank transfer, cheque, credit card and Paypal. You just have to select the one that suits you, the operation only takes a few minutes.
You have the possibility to pay for your purchases in several installments. The payment can be made in 3 to 4 times without charge. It is necessary to have a Visa card or a Visa MasterCard. This is a service that online shops offer in collaboration with platforms renowned for the security that surrounds the transactions.
Whichever payment method you select, you can rest assured that the transaction is secure. The banking data you provide is encrypted, preventing its exploitation by malicious applications. You can also view your spending history through your bank statements and other applications that you normally use to track your transactions.
Comparison with other models is faster
It is interesting to be able to compare the different offers in order to get the best deal. Just type in the keywords of your choice to display the results.
The search engine will display thousands of offers. Novaliterie advises you to choose reference sites that will guarantee you seriousness and professionalism. You can use many filters. They will help you to refine your research by a brand, a thickness, a specific firmness level, the dimensions of your ideal mattress, the technology used, the type of filling, etc.
This query will allow you to see only those products that correspond to your needs. You can then consult the individual sheets to understand the specificities of the models proposed. Take the time to read the descriptions. They must be as precise as possible, exact dimensions, materials, etc… This kind of detail guarantees the professionalism of the seller.
If possible, choose brand name bedding. Manufacturers who have their own website and those who conform to a 100% French/European manufacture are real references in terms of mattresses. Every piece of information is important. Linger over the criteria of differentiation of each brand.
Take advantage of your online search to compare the guarantees offered. Most of the time, a mattress is guaranteed 5 years. This is the minimum warranty period you should be interested in.
And if you really need help or clarification, there are still advisers available to help you choose your ideal mattress. But you don’t have to contact them. It’s your decision, based on criteria you’ve determined and in full knowledge of the facts. A look back at the product data sheets and comparison tables can help you make your choice, without the intervention of an advisor.
You are satisfied or reimbursed
You’re probably held back by not being able to try your mattress. This fear is justified, but the testing conditions in the store are not ideal either. Few of us dare to spread out in a showroom as we would in our bedroom.
The temperature in the store may be different from that of your bedroom. And it’s not always easy to try out your mattress in front of the other customers and salespeople. You lie down a little shyly without really daring to mimic the sleeping positions and changes of position that occur during the night.
The Internet allows you to test your mattress in peace and quiet. Once you have selected the mattress you like, you order it and you can try it out under real-life conditions. Most of the time, you are guaranteed a period of 14 to 15 clear days from the delivery date to check whether the mattress meets your needs. This gives you a full night’s sleep to make sure that the mattress suits you, that the support you like, that the sleeping independence is appropriate. If the mattress does not meet your expectations, you can make use of the money back guarantee and order another model that better suits your needs.
You are delivered to your home
Online shops such as Nova bedding offer the possibility to place orders 24/7 wherever you are. You save precious time and are not limited by the weather or a busy schedule that prevents you from going to the store. If you don’t have time to finalize your order, you can save your cart and continue shopping later.
When you are satisfied with your purchase, you can proceed to checkout. You will then need to fill in your exact address and telephone number. The delivery will be made to this address, according to the previously determined deadlines. You have a personal space that allows you to follow your orders in real time. In most cases, a telephone appointment will confirm the delivery. It is important that someone is present at your home to sign the release with the delivery person.
The shipment is planned after validation of the payment. The delay is therefore variable depending on the control process at your bank.
Buying a mattress on the internet has many advantages. It is nevertheless necessary to take certain precautions. Always privilege the serious sites which benefit from a good reputation. This will guarantee the confidentiality policy and the security of transactions. So you’re ready to take the plunge?
