Written by Flexshopper

Long gone are the days of going into a mattress store to buy a mattress. The headache that comes with being hassled by pushy salespeople and “trying out” mattresses fully clothed with shoes on can be a deterrent for potential mattress buyers. Why leave the comfort of your living room when you can get exactly what you need online from FlexShopper? If you add up all the positives such as convenience (shop in your PJ’s!), affordability (FlexShopper has easy weekly payments), and free delivery, you’ll never mattress shop any other way!

But before you order your new mattress, you need to figure out exactly what kind would be best suited for your needs. Each person has their own idea of the perfect mattress. Whether it’s a soft memory foam or a comfy pillow-top, FlexShopper has all the brand names and mattress types to suit every taste. Here’s a quick guide on some of the most popular types of mattresses you can find on our marketplace:

Memory Foam

Memory foam mattresses rank as #1 in customer satisfaction, primarily because they provide good support and pressure relief. They are readily accessible in all sizes and come in a range of prices for every budget. Because of their durability, they usually last longer than a traditional innerspring mattress. Additionally, they are very dense which helps repel allergens such as dust and mold. One of our favorites is the Twin Omne Sleep 10-inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress. At an easy $10 per week1, you can enjoy one of the coolest night’s sleep around. Its gel-infused memory foam improves the heat transfer and dissipation within the mattress. The additional layers of foam easily contour to your body for a great night’s sleep.

Hybrid

Hybrids may be defined as a combination of two different elements. That pertains to mattresses as well. Hybrids combine two favorite mattress features: inner coil and memory foam. However, if you are accustomed to sleeping on an innerspring mattress, you might consider a hybrid. You still get the feel of the springs or coils, but with the additional comfort and contouring of memory foam. One of our favorites is the Natural Elegance Supreme 12 Inch Hybrid Mattress. This mattress combines the new Gel Latex sleep system as well as the zonal support of coil pocketed springs. You will love its cooling feel and perfect support for only $29 per week1.

Latex

Latex mattresses are made from sustainably harvesting sap from the rubber tree. In addition to being eco-friendly, it ranks among favorites because of its ability to contour to the body, provide a cool sleep, and support the body, thus reducing joint pain. Consumers also love that it is durable, and resists allergens. Some people claim that their latex mattresses last decades! We love the Hevea Bliss 7-inch Queen-size Flippable Natural Latex Mattress – Queen. This all-latex mattress will give you the best night’s sleep you have ever had for $41 per week1.

Innerspring

Most people are familiar with innerspring mattresses. Preferred by some for their comfort, they are the highest-selling category. People tend to buy them because they are familiar with them and they tend to be more affordable. We have many innerspring mattresses available. One of our favorites is the Wolf Gemini Innerspring. Indeed, we like it because it is easy to flip and the price is only $23 per week1. It is a great mattress for those who like a firm foundation for sleeping and since it can be flipped, it will last longer.

Pillow-Top

Pillow-top mattresses may be inner-coil mattresses with an extra layer of padding on the top. Usually tufted to resemble small pillows, they are said to offer additional cooling and allergen resistance. The topper gives you the feeling of coziness and luxury. We like the Wolfe Serene Siesta Pillowtop Queen-size Mattress for $15 per week1. Many consumers who are accustomed to sleeping on innerspring mattresses feel that this is a step-up but does not change the overall feel that they are used to.

1 If you are approved for a lease this is your estimated weekly lease payment. On this site, we use the terms "lease," "lease agreement," "rental-purchase agreement" and "agreement" the same. (We usually use the term "Lease.") Under your Lease, you can: (a) weekly, biweekly, or monthly payments or exercise an Early Purchase Option pursuant to your payment offer (not applicable in FL, NC and TX) and some restrictions may apply in CA to acquire Ownership of the rented goods or (b) rent the goods for at least the initial term and then end the lease when you want by making all required payments and returning the goods. In NC, the final payment required to purchase the rented goods will be an amount greater than 10% of the Cash Price. If you are approved for a loan the weekly payment is only an estimate. Please review the actual terms in your loan agreement if you are approved. Your rates, terms and payment schedule are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria and may vary by state. FlexShopper provides offers for Lease to Own Options, however, we do not make any loan or credit decisions and are not representative, brokers or agents for any Lenders.

3 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina, the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item. The Cash Price may be higher than the cash price you would pay if you were to purchase the item directly from the merchant shipping the merchandise on FlexShopper and/or affiliates behalf. If approved by another payment option provider the cash price is the invoice amount of the item excluding taxes, shipping and other fees.

5 Good credit is not necessary but not everyone with bad credit is approved. Our goal is to help consumers with not so perfect credit get goods they want through a payment offer that works for you.

7 An initial payment or security deposit and/or payment may be required before fulfillment.

8 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina you will own the item(s) and not have to pay any additional amount if you pay the full Cash Price (the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item (or $50 more than the price the merchant you select charges) plus sales taxes and may be higher than the price you would pay if you were to purchase the item(s) directly; if you rent multiple items at the same time, we reduce the Cash Price (and increase the Cost of Rental) by $50 for the second and each subsequent item you rent, which makes it less expensive to purchase the items before the end of the term of the Lease). After 90 days, you also have an Early Purchase Option that allows you to own your item(s) for less. Simply refer to the table in your Lease to look up the Early Purchase Option amount after each payment date. If approved by another payment option provider please refer to the terms and conditions of your agreement.

9 All lease/loan decisions and rates and terms are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria related to the applicant’s credit quality. Rates and terms may also vary depending upon the state where you reside.
