How to shop online for a bed - the ultimate bed shopping guide

With the rise of technology has come a rise in the use of online shopping for everything from fruits and vegetables to TVs and video games. Shopping online for beds has also become an increasingly popular choice for huge swathes of society, however, many don't know where to start. And yet, there’s no reason to panic because we at Furnitureful have chosen to take the time to highlight the do’s and don'ts of the online shopping world so that you leave your search with a brand new quality bed that suits all your heart’s desires.

Tip 1: Note down your needs

If you don’t know where to start, a good place is usually a piece of paper to help clear out your head and know what you're looking for. Write down what type of bed you’re looking for (e.g an Ottoman storage bed or a bunk bed) for and what your budget is. It could look something like this:

• What is my budget?

• What size bed do I need?

• Do I want a custom bed size and a custom mattress?

• What mattress do I want?

• Do I want a pre-installed headboard with my bed?

Tip 2: Ask your family and friends 

It’s easy to get carried away and think you're a bed and mattress expert by this point, however, those who ask their friends and relatives for advice usually end out on top. Older relatives are likely to have more experience on what the best materials are for beds and mattresses and we at Furnitureful would definitely recommend you check out our range of beds here, which include Ottoman beds, mattresses and beautiful upholstery.

Tip 3: Authenticate with reviews

Nothing is as reliable as a past customer's experience with a certain company. Feel free to check Google reviews for a multitude of companies and see what positives and negatives this throws to the light.

Tip 4: Delivery conditions, warranties and free trials

Some of the best companies out there offer a variety of incentives to make you choose their products. Take full advantage and you’ll be sure to end up with the bed of your dreams. For starters, Furnitureful offers free next day delivery on orders before 4pm, 10 year warranties and amazing 60-nights trials on mattresses.
