Buying Online?
When talking to friends it is common for someone to say ‘Why buy bedding online?’. If taken literally you could make that argument but I would retort with these facts:
- You can shop for items and take your time - your not rushed and hence make better decisions.
- You can see lots of pictures showing multiple angles and views of the item.
- You can likely return the bedding depending on the companies return policy.
- Many sites include free shipping - so not only do you not have to drive somewhere - but it comes to you.
- And my favorite - you can save money. Many manufacturrs such as DOWNLITE sell their overstock bedding.
Even with those points in order it is pretty common that once a day I have someone ask me: ‘is the pillow “soft”‘? My soft is someone’s medium. So what we try to do is establish common feature set comparisions to help simplify the buying process. For pillows we ask how they sleep and recommend pillow densities based on their neck and head position, etc. For comforters we ask how warm they sleep - then recommend warm, warmer or warmest. Once again when simplified it can actually be real easy to buy bedding online -you just have to know the system the retailer uses.
