Showroom Testing

• Though you can always test the merchandise when shopping in a mattress showroom, lying on a bed for a few minutes does not always give you the whole picture when it comes to comfort.
  
  

Break-In Period

• One of the benefits of an extended trial is that it allows you to start to break in the mattress and feel how it sleeps when used regularly. What may be fine for a few minutes in the showroom might not suffice night after night.
  
  

Pressure Points

• A 30-day trial will also highlight any pressure points caused by improper support or awkward positioning, which might not be obvious in a shorter trial period.
  
  

Costs

• Be aware that returning a mattress after 30 days may involve a restocking fee, but the option is definitely worth it compared to the trouble of trying to resell an uncomfortable mattress.
  
  

Terms

• Note that some trial agreements offer a single exchange during the period rather than a full refund. Check your purchase agreement for more details.
