The first thing you need to do when you are searching for a cheap mattress is research. A the very least, before you ever set foot in to a mattress store, you should know the maximum you want to spend (that should be easy), an idea of the type of mattress you are interested in – memory foam, pocket spring or pillow top etc, and you should have a enough knowledge about mattresses in general so that you can make the sales person aware that you know what you are talking about. That way they will know they have to work a bit harder for your business and they won’t just try to sell you the mattress with their highest mark-up.

Always take a notebook with you when you go mattress shopping, you can note down the details of each mattress you look at, and refer back to where you found it. It also helps focus the sales person’s mind so that they know you are serious about this. And remember, every price you get quoted first is negotiable – don’t be shy about this aspect of your purchase, the sales person will expect you to haggle.

Never buy a cheap mattress in the first store you visit, and don’t be frightened to tell the sales person that they are more expensive than other stores you have been to. A good sales person will never give you their best price straight off, if they did, they wouldn’t be able to lower the price to get your business, and don’t forget, they will expect to have to do that!

Try shopping alone, if you can get a good deal on a cheap mattress but then say you will need to get your partner to try the mattress first, the sales person will often offer you an even sweeter deal just to get you to buy while you are there – they hate you leaving the store because most people never go back. If they offer you a better deal and you still want your partner to try the mattress, tell them a time when you will be back and they should still honor the better price they’ve given you.

Before you start to negotiate on price, check out delivery charges, as these are sometimes inflated after a deal has been struck to claw back some margin. But there’s no point haggling over the price until you made your final decision on your mattress brand, model and style. If you do, you risk ending up making your decision based on the deal on offer rather than the comfort of the mattress you’ve chosen – this mattress is a big investment and you will have it for a long time, so comfort should always be the deciding factor.

If you follow these tips and are persistent, you can save yourself hundreds on find yourself a new cheap mattress. One final tip, always be prepared to walk out of the store if you can’t get the deal you want, the last thing the sales person wants is to lose a deal because they won’t earn any commission if you do.
