In-Store Benefits

Why Visit a Dublin Mattress Store In Person?

While online mattress shopping is convenient, visiting a store offers unique advantages.

Test Before You Buy

Spend 10-15 minutes lying on each mattress in your usual sleep position. What feels "medium-firm" online might feel completely different to your body. There's no substitute for the real feel.

Expert Advice

Staff can assess your sleep needs, body type, and any pain issues. A good salesperson will steer you away from expensive options that won't suit you — something algorithms can't do.

Same-Week Delivery

Many Dublin stores offer next-day or same-week delivery. Online mattress-in-a-box brands often take 1-2 weeks, and you'll need to wait for it to fully expand.

Old Mattress Removal

Most Dublin stores will remove your old mattress for €30-50. This saves you the hassle of disposal — which can be tricky in Dublin apartments without a car.

Finance Options

Stores like Harvey Norman and Dreams offer 0% finance, letting you spread the cost. This makes premium mattresses more accessible than paying €1,500+ upfront online.

Easier Returns

If something goes wrong, you have a physical store to visit. Returns are often smoother than shipping a heavy mattress back to an online warehouse.

Comparison

Online vs In-Store: Which Is Better?

Both options have merit. Here's an honest comparison to help you decide.

Buying Online

Mattress-in-a-box brands

Advantages

  • Often 10-30% cheaper than in-store
  • Longer trial periods (100-365 nights)
  • Shop from home at any time
  • Easy price comparison
  • No salesperson pressure

Disadvantages

  • Can't test before buying
  • Delivery takes 1-2 weeks
  • Returns can be complicated
  • Limited to brand's own products
  • No expert guidance

Buying In-Store

Dublin mattress shops

Advantages

  • Test mattresses before buying
  • Expert advice and recommendations
  • Same-week or next-day delivery
  • Old mattress removal included
  • Finance options available

Disadvantages

  • Generally higher prices (10-30%)
  • Shorter trial periods (14-100 nights)
  • Need to travel to store
  • Potential salesperson pressure
  • Limited by store opening hours

Our Recommendation

Visit a store first, even if you plan to buy online. Test the firmness levels and mattress types you're interested in. Then compare prices online. Many Dublin stores will price-match or offer additional services (delivery, removal, setup) that make the slightly higher price worthwhile. If you're buying premium (€1,000+), the in-store experience and support is often worth the extra cost.

Price Explainer

Why Are Mattresses More Expensive In-Store?

It's not just profit margins — here's what you're paying for.

What Your Money Covers

  • 1
    Showroom rent

    Dublin retail space isn't cheap — Blanchardstown, Dundrum, and city centre locations cost thousands monthly

  • 2
    Staff salaries

    Trained sleep specialists who can guide your purchase and answer questions

  • 3
    Floor models

    Every mattress you test is a cost — they can't be sold as new and must be replaced regularly

  • 4
    Local delivery

    Own delivery trucks and teams for quick Dublin delivery

  • 5
    After-sales support

    A physical store to visit if there's any issue with your purchase

How Online Brands Save Money

  • 1
    No showrooms

    Warehouse storage costs a fraction of retail space

  • 2
    Minimal staff

    Online chat support instead of trained floor staff

  • 3
    Direct shipping

    Mattress goes straight from factory to your door

  • 4
    No floor models

    You're the first person to lie on your mattress

  • 5
    Automated returns

    Third-party logistics handle any issues

Price Tip

The price gap is shrinking. Many Dublin stores now price-match online competitors, and bank holiday sales can bring in-store prices close to online levels. Always ask about ongoing promotions — the sticker price isn't necessarily what you'll pay.

How to Test a Mattress In-Store (The Right Way)

Most people spend 30 seconds bouncing on a mattress. Here's how to actually test properly.

1

Wear the right clothes

Skip tight jeans and heels. Wear what you'd sleep in — loose clothes and flat shoes. You need to lie down comfortably in your natural sleeping position.

2

Spend real time on each mattress

Lie on each mattress for at least 10-15 minutes. It feels awkward, but it's the only way to assess comfort. Read your phone, close your eyes — simulate actual rest. A quick sit tells you nothing.

3

Use your actual sleep position

If you're a side sleeper, lie on your side. Back sleeper? Lie on your back. Many people test on their back even if they never sleep that way — this gives a misleading impression.

4

Check for pressure points

Side sleepers: Are your hips and shoulders comfortable, or pressing into the mattress? Back sleepers: Is there support under your lower back? Any numbness or tingling is a red flag.

5

Test motion transfer (couples)

If you share a bed, have your partner lie down and move around while you stay still. Can you feel their movements? This matters more than you think for light sleepers.

6

Don't trust the first mattress

Your back has adjusted to your current mattress (even if it's bad). The first new mattress will feel amazing by comparison. Test at least 3-4 before deciding.

Questions to Ask Before You Buy

Don't leave the store without answers to these questions.

Delivery Questions

  • •"Is delivery included, or how much extra?"
  • •"Is there a charge for stairs or apartments without lifts?"
  • •"What day and time window will delivery be?"
  • •"Will you take away my old mattress? How much?"

Trial & Returns

  • •"What's the trial period? Is it comfort-guarantee or defect-only?"
  • •"If I don't like it, what's the return process?"
  • •"Is there a restocking fee for returns?"
  • •"Do I get a full refund or store credit?"

Warranty Questions

  • •"How long is the warranty? What does it cover?"
  • •"What sagging depth triggers a warranty claim?"
  • •"Do I need to use a specific bed base for warranty?"
  • •"Will stains void the warranty?"

Price & Payment

  • •"Is this the best price, or are there current promotions?"
  • •"Do you price-match online retailers?"
  • •"What finance options are available? What's the APR?"
  • •"Is the ex-display model available at a discount?"
