Buying a dress online is one thing, but a mattress is something else entirely.

If you were to ask a decade ago, who is the brave woman who would agree to buy a dress online without measuring it - you would probably get contemptuous looks.
But the online sales market in 2020 broke all sales records - with and without the Corona.
Also last year, before the epidemic, online sales overtook sales in malls and stores.
And yet, buying clothes online is one thing, and buying an item like a mattress is a whole other thing.
It's not only the price, oil probably derives from it a greater risk, it is also so subjective and sensitive it is very difficult to know whether a mattress will be comfortable and pleasant just from looking online.
Still, we find ourselves in a closure again, and even between closures not all stores are always open and it seems that anyone who really needs to replace a mattress or buy a new one right now will probably need the courage zone and try to do it remotely.

We wanted to know why it is important to pay attention when ordering a mattress online so we consulted an expert.
Ananda Lev is the owner of the "Soham" brand, which specializes in premium bedding and mattresses, and these are his tips:
Look for a company that will allow you a long enough trial period and guarantee you a full refund if you are not satisfied.

1. Make sure you can regret it:
buying a mattress is not a small expense, so the natural desire is that it will be possible to "feel" it.
But it does not always work: what you think in the store as a healthy and comfortable mattress, may turn out to be a failed deal for you after a month or two if you are not careful.
And the consequences are serious - it is not impossible that lying down on a poor quality mattress every night will cause pain in the back, hands or neck during the day.
Nowadays, when purchasing a mattress through the internet, you get a trial period without obligation and if you regret during this period, you will get all your money back.
Many companies will not even charge you for shipping the mattress back and forth - so, in fact, you will get a real insurance certificate for the purchase.
2. Do your homework:
Because you cannot feel the mattress yourself, it is especially important to emphasize the components of the mattress.
Even if you buy a mattress from a reputable company, it is still not enough considering that sometimes every company has dozens of different models, not all of them of the same quality, and it is not always easy to distinguish between them.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to be interested and understand basic concepts like: compression of sponge, visco or latex.
This information is available online, and can help you choose a mattress that will not only be good and comfortable for you, but will also be used by you for many years.
It is important to pay attention to two things: for the thickness of the visco layer - if it is too thin, for example three or four cm, you will not get good enough support for the center of gravity of the body, and in addition - for visco compression. C / m3, but also a visco with a medium density of over 48 kg / m3 can give good support if the layer is thick enough.
In terms of the quality of your sleep and the quality of the mattress in general, there is no need for a particularly high mattress, but high mattresses More comfortable to get in and out of bed, and many also love the look it equates to a bed.
Those who do homework, sleep better at night.

3. Do not be tempted by huge discounts:
If you come across a deal online that looks too good to be true, such as a mattress that is sold "only today at a 76 percent discount", or "a mattress that costs NIS 760 instead of NIS 7,420 regular price", keep in mind that the deal is Really too good to be true.
Anyone who has been interested in purchasing a mattress online must have been exposed to the many offers running online for mattresses at low prices, and even very low ones.
If you do not really understand this, and in the absence of transparency about the components of the mattress, you may buy a mattress that, although cheap in purchase, will be very expensive overall.
Low quality mattresses can start to sink after a year or two, while a quality mattress can give you stable support for a good sleep for even seven years or more.
The rate of deterioration will also be slower in a quality mattress compared to a cheap mattress: in the calculation of the cost per use time - it is quite possible that a cheaper mattress will cost more per month than a mattress that costs double.
That way, admittedly, you will pay more, but you will get something much less good.
In other words: sometimes it is worth investing in a quality mattress.
4. Do not believe the word "orthopedic":
Usually, the first thing to think about when considering buying a mattress without feeling it, is whether it is hard or soft.
In fact, how can we know that his level of difficulty is right for us?
Although many marketers present a different 'degree of difficulty' to each mattress - this information will not really help you, because it is a completely subjective index.
There is no uniform test that manufacturers run to determine the degree of difficulty of each mattress.
Just because you are used to a certain level of difficulty does not mean that it is best for you.

In addition, preference for a soft or hard mattress is first and foremost a matter of habit and not an orthopedic matter at all.
Just because you are used to a certain level of difficulty does not necessarily mean that it is best for you.
There is also quite a bit of cultural preference in this question: in the US the preference is for softer mattresses - or as they are called: plush. In Israel it is common to assume that a hard mattress is more "orthopedic". Unless your orthopedist has instructed you to use such a mattress or then, there is really no meaning known as the "orthopedic" in relation to the mattress. like many things in life, even in mattresses, the answer to the question of the difficulty is 'the middle.' hard mattress medium suitable to prepare a lot of people, and it is recommended especially when the old couple, and sleeping on the side.
5. Prefer a good mattress over a beautiful bed:
A common mistake when buying a mattress is to choose its size solely according to the size of the existing bed.
Therefore, unless it is a really special or valuable piece of furniture, when buying a new mattress it is important to choose the size according to your needs, and not according to the size of the bed that is already there. If you do not have a budget right now for both the bed and the mattress, it is recommended to purchase a bed base at a very low cost, there are plenty for sale online, and they can satisfy your needs until you find the perfect bed, or the budget for it.
Prepare a place in advance for temporary storage of the old mattress:
Today, most marketers who sell mattresses over the Internet offer a long trial period that allows you to make sure that the mattress is really comfortable for you. This is nothing less than a consumer revolution, but in order to really enjoy it, it is necessary to take care in advance of one important thing: a place for temporary storage of the old mattress. It could be a warehouse, a vacant room if any, someone else's house or just 30cm behind a closet.
