Tips for testing a new mattress in-store

If you’re considering buying a new mattress, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by choice. We recommend starting with our Mattress Selector, which is designed to provide you with tailored suggestions based on information related to your sleep and lifestyle. Once you know the type of mattress suitable for you, find your nearest approved Sealy retailer and try it in person.

Below are some of our top tips for testing out a mattress in-store:

Know your sleep habits

Take a moment beforehand to think about your sleep habits and what you’d like to improve about your current mattress. Consider these questions:

  • Are you a side sleeper or do you usually sleep on your back?
  • Do you know what type of mattress you’re currently sleeping on?
  • Has it simply become too old, worn out and saggy?
  • Does it have the right comfort level for you?
  • Are you constantly waking up with back pain?

Make yourself comfortable

Wear loose-fitting clothing that will allow you to move around comfortably. If you’re buying a new mattress with a partner, it will be important for both of you to test out the options. Feel free to take your favourite pillow with you so that you’re able to replicate your normal sleeping environment.

Take your time testing a new mattress

The only way to be sure about which mattress is right for you is to spend time on it. Don’t be shy about trying each one to get a feel for the differences. Take your shoes off and spend about 15 minutes lying on each mattress in your normal sleeping position, until you find the one you’re sure you’ll be happy with. Don’t rush, as the purchase ought to be one for the long-term.

Shop around for a bargain

If you visit different retailers, the specific models might not be an exact match, but you can compare prices by taking note of the mattress specs and model range. Sealy retailers choose their own bed names, so when you shop at different stores, the names will be different. Browse the Sealy website to view the full range from which retailers choose certain models to sell.

Shop around to find the best deal to fit your budget. Most importantly, think of your purchase as a valuable investment in yourself and your health because getting a good night’s sleep sets you up to tackle the challenges of everyday life with all the energy and enthusiasm you need.

Make sure it’s #ClearlyASealy

When shopping for your new Sealy, it is safest to make sure you are purchasing your bed from an Authorised Sealy Retailer, and you receive an official invoice. Remember, our list of authorised retailers are on the Sealy website. Click here to view a list of Sealy retailers. If the store you’re shopping at isn’t on this list, contact us to check if that store is in fact authorised to sell Sealy mattresses.

All Sealy mattresses come with a warranty, which will protect you in the unlikely event of a factory defect. Once you purchase your Sealy, register your warranty on our website. This is a good way to protect your investment. A warranty is your protection against defective workmanship – it is not a guarantee of product life or more important, of comfort life.

What does a Sealy warranty cover?

  • A factory guarantee repair or replacement period is against faulty workmanship and faulty materials, not extending to damage caused by normal wear and tear, abuse, misuse or negligence.
  • A service warranty period is the balance of the period outside of the guarantee period where the cost of repair or replacement is borne by the customer on a pro rata basis for the remainder of the service warranty period.

Now that you’ve learnt how to buy a new mattress, you’re ready to begin your search for a better night’s sleep! Find your nearest retailer today!
