Buying a bed digitally is easier than visiting a traditional retailer, given how simple a bed in a package is to analyze and move around. However, one major problem that not even large businesses can address is this: How can you commit to a buy without testing the bed first? Fortunately, in 2025, we have solutions for both online bed suppliers and consumers. Major US stores such as Target, Macy’s and West Elm all have shops, and have started to promote website bed companies. This allows you to get a feel for your bed without worrying that you’ll like what you find and have to arrange a pickup to give back the item.

Another solution is retailers opening dedicated stores. Companies like Casper, one of the biggest ( and earliest ) players in the online mattress movement, allows customers to try its mattress firsthand before they buy one.

Below, we’ve compiled a list of eight popular online mattress brands and where to try them out. But before you purchase, you should know that out of all the popular brands, Layla was a company that does not stock any of its mattresses in stores. Sorry, Layla customers.

Casper

Casper is one of the original online mattress brands and one of the most popular. The company makes two styles of hybrid foam mattresses and one foam mattress, ranging in price from$ 999 to$ 3,745 for a queen.  

The brand does have stores where you can try and buy its mattresses ( and take them home the same day ). Some Target locations also now carry Casper products, but you can’t try the Casper mattresses in most Target stores. You can also try Casper products at Raymour and Flanigan, where they are on display to try and buy.

Leesa

Leesa makes two different types of mattresses ( a classic and luxury model ) and offers a generous 100-day trial period ( although some brands now offer up to a year trial ). Like Casper, Leesa hopped on the brick-and-mortar store experience bandwagon and now has” Dream Galleries” where you can try and shop the mattresses in select cities. You can also purchase Leesa mattresses at West Elm stores.

Nectar

If you’re looking for a mattress with a great warranty and a long trial period, then Nectar may be on the top of your list. The company offers a “forever” warranty and a 365-day trial period. It’s one of the easier online mattress brands to test out IRL since the mattresses are now stocked in 1,500 Nectar Sleep Stores and various furniture and mattress stores nationwide.  

Saatva

Saatva mattresses are unique compared to most online mattress brands since they aren’t foam mattresses, but instead have inner-coil springs. Most online mattresses or “bed-in-a-box” styles are foam since they can be easily compressed and shipped in a box. You can check out the mattresses at select Macy ‘s  stores and also SleePare showrooms.

Purple 

Purple is another popular brand that makes three different mattress styles ( standard foam, hybrid, and premium hybrid ) and offers a standard 100-day trial period. Primarily an online retailer, Purple does stock some mattresses at Macy’s department stores as well as Mattress Firm locations if you’d like to test one out.  

Avocado Green

Avocado Green is known best for making mattresses from organic and sustainable materials. Because of this, it’s not the cheapest mattress out there ( a standard queen mattress starts at$ 1,999 ) but if sustainability and material quality are important to you, then it may be worth shelling out the extra cash.  

The mattresses are latex hybrid with inner springs made from recycled steel. The company also advertises its Made Safe certification ( one of only three mattress brands ) which means it’s free from” all known suspected toxins, including fire retardants. ” Avocado Green has” Experience Centers” in select cities where you can try out the mattress before ordering online. It’s good to note that the centers are essentially showrooms, so not stores where you can buy IRL and take one home.

Tuft & Needle

Looking for an eco-friendly mattress that won’t break the bank? Tuft & Needle is worth looking into, especially if the Avocado Green mattress doesn’t fit your budget. The mattresses are significantly less expensive than other leading online brands, and are made with foam that is CertiPUR-US certified, and the materials have a” Greenguard Gold” certification. You can check out the mattresses IRL in Tuft & Needle stores in select cities, or at Lowes, Crate & Barrel and Interior Define.
