Hi adina.afton,
While overstock can sometimes be a good source for mattresses … they also sell some very poor quality/value mattresses and many of the listings there are very misleading or even wrong in their descriptions. It would take a great deal of research knowledge in many cases to order a high quality/value mattress from overstock and of course their level of knowledge about mattresses and their ability and experience to provide good guidance and help with making the most suitable choice is very limited. A local choice from an outlet that offers good value and also has the knowledge and experience to help people “in person” to make better choices is always less “risky” and potentially more “accurate” than an online purchase … especially if the online outlet has little knowledge about “fitting” a mattress to a customer.
In most cases … a consumer would be far better off and making a much less risky online choice for something as important as what they sleep on by working with a manufacturer or outlet that offers better quality and value than overstock and has much more experience in helping people make their best possible choice. some examples of these types of outlets are in post #21 here. A mattress is only as good as the materials that are in it and the suitability of the components and layering for the needs and preferences of the person sleeping on it and on both counts … either good descriptions or the help and experience that can make a difference in the best selection … overstock often falls short.
In addition to this … the cost of returns for making a bad choice on overstock can add to the risk.
