You’ve almost certainly heard before that humans spend 1/3 of our lives in bed. And you probably know all of the benefits to getting a good night’s rest. But did you know that the process of buying a mattress in 2022 is easier than ever before with popular Online Mattress Brands?

Not only is getting the comfort and support that you crave more achievable than ever, but it’s also easier than ever with more options available, including online mattresses that can be shipped straight to your door, have a lengthy test period, and have satisfaction guarantees.

Now, everyone has a different set of needs and preferences when it comes to choosing the right mattress, and there are a number of factors to think about before you make a purchase, but whether you recently moved into a new home or have been in your home awhile and are still searching for a new mattress, President’s Day sales are typically a great time to search for deals on a mattress to help you sleep easier. The DC and Northern Virginia area have a number of mattress retailers with President’s Day deals — including two popular online mattress brands that now have local stores in the area.

Online Mattress Brands and What They Offer

Types of Mattresses

There are plenty of mattress types in the market, including standard innerspring mattresses, memory foam, gel, pillow tops, water bed, air bed, latex, adjustable base, and hybrid mattresses. All of these have different features and are suitable for a variety of sleeping habits and preferences. 

Depending on what you are looking for, you can find a mattress from either a well-known brick-and-mortar retailer or a more modern online brand. But did you know that some of the most popular online mattress brands have opened local showrooms, so you can actually try your mattress in-store before testing it out in your home for up to a full year?!

Questions to Ask Yourself About Your New Mattress

• Are you a side sleeper? Or do you rest on your back or stomach?
• How soft do you like your mattress? Some people like to sink in and others like to stay on the surface.
• Is going organic important to you? This could be a concern about allergens or just an effort to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. 
• Do you want to be able to regulate your mattress temperature?

Answering questions like these helps you determine your needs and wants before you go out searching for a mattress — which can be an overwhelming task with all of the options on the market today.

Two Brands That Recently Opened DC Area Showrooms 

Avocado

Avocado Green Mattress, makers of organic and eco-luxury sleep and lifestyle products, opened its first Washington, DC location at 3336 M Street NW in Georgetown in November 2021. In addition to organically-made mattresses, bedding, and bath linens, the 4,946-square-foot store features the company’s newly-launched beauty and apparel lines, Reed + Gwenand Hass.

Unlike traditional mattress stores, Avocado’s store design draws inspiration from the natural elements and materials that comprise its organic products as well as the local community. And this is also fun! The store features a wellness cafe that serves healthy, locally-sourced snacks as well as kombucha on tap, and provides community space for yoga classes or a speaker series led by DC-based organizations.

Avocado has a number of President’s Day specials, and as usual, the brand offers a 365-night trial on all mattresses that aren’t part of the Final Sale section, with the exception of the new Avocado Eco Mattress. (If you change your mind during the trial period, Avocado Green will donate the mattress and issue you a refund.)

Saatva

Saatva, which is one of the most popular innovative online mattress brands, calls itself America’s Smarter Luxury Sleep company. Since 2010 Saatva has helped customers create the sleep sanctuary of their dreams with ultra-comfy sheet sets, pillows, weighted blankets and quilts, and award-winning handcrafted mattresses using only premium eco-friendly materials. 

Saatva’s new 14th Street DC showroom, the Saatva Viewing Room, has a style for every sleeper. We also love Saatva’s white glove delivery and free 180 day in-home trial.

Saatva is offering discounts of 10% off sitewide or 15% off orders over $2,750 during their President’s Day sale, which runs 2/15-2/21. The discount is applied to your cart at checkout online or you can also take advantage of this discount at the immersive two-floor Viewing Room in Logan Circle, where you can test out all of their mattresses in person.

In 2022, there are many benefits to purchasing your mattress online, but we are lucky in the Northern Virginia area to have two of the most popular online and eco-friendly mattress companies opening showrooms near us where we can test out all of the types — and even then we get to try them out for months before making a longer-term commitment! 

You know that your bedroom is the room where you spend the most time in your home — and up to a full third of your life in bed! Take advantage of these new showrooms and President’s Day deals to make your bedroom a healthy, happy haven.
