5 Times Shopping at the Mattress Outlet Just Makes Sense
There are times when you want to spend weeks researching mattresses, comparing models and finding the absolute perfect bed.
And then there are times when you just need a good mattress, at a good price, without making it complicated.
That’s where the Mattress Outlet comes in.
Our inventory is always changing because we carry closeouts, discontinued models, overstocks, floor models, one-of-a-kinds, and mattresses with minor cosmetic scuffs or bumps. You’ll still find some of the biggest names in the mattress industry—you’re just shopping them a little differently.
So when does shopping the Outlet really make sense?
Here are five times we think it’s worth stopping in.
1. The Guest Room Needs an Upgrade
Be honest: how old is the mattress in your guest room?
Guest rooms tend to get the mattresses we’re not quite ready to throw away. The old master bedroom mattress gets moved down the hall, and somehow it stays there for another 10 years.
If you have family coming to town, kids coming home from college, or guests visiting for the holidays, the Outlet is a great place to start.
You don't necessarily need all the bells and whistles. You just want something comfortable that your guests aren't going to wake up complaining about.
And because our inventory changes all the time, you might find a really nice name-brand mattress at a price that makes upgrading the guest room a much easier decision.
2. Your Kid Suddenly Needs a Bigger Bed
Kids have a funny habit of growing.
One minute the twin mattress is perfectly fine, and the next their feet are practically hanging off the end.
Moving a child from a twin to a full or queen can mean buying a mattress, frame, bedding and everything else that comes with a bigger bed. That adds up quickly.
The Outlet can be a great place to find a quality mattress without putting a huge amount of money into a bed that may not be their forever mattress.
And sometimes we have one-offs or discontinued models that are perfect for exactly this situation.
3. You're Furnishing a First Apartment, College House or Spare Bedroom
First apartments are expensive.
So are college apartments.
So is furnishing basically any room from scratch.
When you're buying furniture, kitchen supplies, bedding and everything else at the same time, spending a fortune on a mattress may not be at the top of the list.
But sleep still matters.
Instead of grabbing the cheapest mattress you can find online and hoping for the best, the Outlet gives you the chance to actually lie on the mattress before you buy it.
You can feel it. Compare a few. Ask questions. And if you find one you like, you can take it home.
Simple.
4. You Need a Mattress NOW
Sometimes you don't have two weeks to wait for a mattress.
Maybe you're moving this weekend.
Maybe family unexpectedly decided to visit.
Maybe the old mattress finally reached the point where you can't take another night on it.
Whatever happened, you need a bed.
The Outlet is built for that.
What you see is what we have, and much of it is ready to go.
No wondering when the box is going to show up on your doorstep. No sleeping on the floor while you wait.
Find something you like, and in many cases, you can take it home that day.
5. You Just Love Getting a Really Good Deal
You don't actually need a special reason to shop the Outlet.
Some people just love the hunt.
Maybe you don't care that the mattress is last year's model.
Maybe a small cosmetic scuff doesn't bother you.
Maybe you couldn't care less that the manufacturer changed the cover and gave essentially the same mattress a new name.
You just want a good mattress from a brand you recognize at a price that makes you feel like you scored.
Those are some of our favorite Outlet shoppers.
Because you truly never know what you're going to find.
The Outlet Isn't for Everyone—and That's Okay
If you want a very specific mattress, in a very specific comfort, in a very specific size, the Outlet might not always have exactly what you're looking for.
That's the nature of an outlet.
But if you're willing to come in with an open mind, there can be some incredible finds.
Our inventory is constantly changing. Something might be a closeout. Something might be an overstock. Something might have been a floor model. And sometimes there's only one.
When it's gone, it's gone.
So stop in, walk around, try some mattresses and see what's here.
You might come in looking for something inexpensive for the guest room…
…and end up finding a mattress you want for yourself.
That's the Mattress Outlet. You never really know what you're going to find—and that's kind of the point.
