How do I choose a mattress online?

If you do choose to purchase your mattress on the web, here are some handy tips for buying a mattress online.

Know what type of mattress you’re looking for

It can be beneficial to know what kind of mattress you would like to own before you start your online search. Here are some common questions you should ask yourself as you learn how to shop for a mattress online:

What is your height and weight?
What is your body type?
- Height and weight is important but more important is your bone structure and how you carry your weight. If you are unsure of your body type check out our body type descriptions for males and females.
What position do you sleep in?
Do you prefer softer or firmer mattresses? Or in between?
Do you need your mattress to support certain areas of your body?
- Knowing the mattress coil count you need for optimal support can be super helpful when searching for a mattress.
What size mattress do you need?
Do you sleep with a partner?
- Let’s say you want a firm mattress but your partner would prefer a softer feel –– finding mattresses for couples with different preferences would be a great place to start. At Texas Mattress Makers, we offer a variety of mattress options that are suitable for single sleepers or coupled cuddlers.

Set a budget

Mattresses are an investment. It can be tempting to purchase a cheap mattress from an online manufacturer, but the truth is, that mattress may only last you a few years. Texas Mattress Makers offers a wide variety of affordable luxury mattresses that will provide the best night’s sleep for years to come without breaking the bank.

Build your Sleep Profile

Our Texas Mattress Makers online sleep quiz asks you simple questions about your sleeping habits, body type, and mattress preferences to build your Sleep Profile. From this quiz, we can determine which mattress from our vast selection would suit your needs best!

Is it better to buy a mattress online or in-store?

Most mattress companies will tell you that shopping for a mattress online is easier, more convenient, and better for your wallet. Although shopping online does have its perks, we at Texas Mattress Makers believe that buying a mattress in-store guarantees that your mattress will be perfect for you. If you skip the showroom, you won’t know exactly how that mattress will feel or perform before you sleep on it.

What is The Texas Mattress Makers Difference? Our brick and mortar stores offer a unique experience that online shopping with our competitors cannot.

We display our vast selection of high quality mattresses that are already broken in, so you can experience the comfort level and support that mattress would give you once you’ve slept on it for a few weeks. This gives you the most realistic idea of how this mattress will perform for you so you can make the most informed decision. When you visit our showroom, our experts will take the time to figure out your exact needs and let you test out multiple mattresses that would suit you.

With 40+ years of producing quality, durable, and sustainable mattresses, our experts at Texas Mattress Makers are in the business of giving you the best night’s sleep –– not just selling you a mattress. When you leave one of our showrooms, or purchase a mattress from us online, we want you to feel that you chose the perfect mattress for you.
