Mattress Firm Review
Quick verdict
Mattress Firm is a mattress retailer with stores and online shopping. It can be a practical choice if you want to try several mattress brands in person, but compare the exact model, delivery total and return terms before deciding.
Best for: shoppers who want to compare multiple mattress types in a store. Check first: selection varies by location, and the 120-night comfort trial has a 30-night adjustment period, exclusions and an exchange fee.
This guide reviews published retailer information and shopping considerations; it is not a survey or a hands-on test of every Mattress Firm location. Yawnder also sells mattresses and therefore competes with Mattress Firm.
What does Mattress Firm carry?
Mattress Firm sells a range of mattresses and sleep products. Its assortment includes brands such as Tempur-Pedic and Sealy, among others. Availability, models and firmness options vary by store and online; confirm the specific model before visiting.
For model-specific research, browse our Serta Perfect Sleeper review or Beautyrest Black review. A store may carry different versions than those reviewed.
How to compare prices
Compare the same brand, exact model, firmness and size. Some retailers sell exclusive versions with different names or construction, so similar-looking mattresses are not always identical. Include the mattress protector, delivery, removal, setup, applicable taxes and any promotional requirements in the total.
Mattress Firm advertises a low-price guarantee subject to conditions and exclusions. Save the qualifying listing and ask the store to explain eligibility. For a broader shortlist, see our best mattress guide.
What to do in the store
- Call ahead to confirm the exact model and feel are on display.
- Try your usual sleeping positions for several minutes; pay attention to shoulder and hip pressure and how easily you move.
- Ask for the model name, size, final delivered price and all trial exclusions in writing.
- Compare the warranty and foundation requirements with those offered by other sellers.
Mattress Firm returns and the 120-night trial
Mattress Firm’s published policy describes a 120-night sleep trial for eligible purchases, with a minimum 30-night adjustment period. It allows one exchange and/or one return per purchase within 120 days of the original mattress delivery.
The policy lists a $149 exchange fee, with an exception for Hawaii; it also describes a $149 fee if an exchanged mattress is subsequently returned. The policy has exclusions and condition requirements, including law tags and a clean, undamaged mattress. Clearance, outlet, preowned and floor models, most adjustable bases, protectors and pillows are excluded. Some special-order sizes are excluded, with California exceptions for California king and split California king.
Confirm your specific purchase terms, fees, refund amount, delivery charges and any gift-with-purchase conditions directly with Mattress Firm. A comfort trial is separate from a manufacturer’s limited warranty.
Alternatives to compare
Other mattress stores, furniture retailers and direct-to-consumer brands can offer different selections and policies. Compare the same model and size where possible, then evaluate delivery, return costs and warranty support.
Yawnder is an independent mattress retailer in Encinitas and competes for the same customers. You can contact our showroom to ask which models are on the floor and confirm Yawnder’s terms for your purchase. You can also explore Yawnder mattress reviews.
