What Happens at a Free At-Home Mattress Fitting?

The short answer: you tell us your mattress preferences (size, firmness, preferred brands and budget), we hand-pick 3-4 mattresses from good to better to best, and we bring them to your home at a time that works for you, free of charge. You try each one where you’ll actually sleep, and if you find the right one, you complete your purchase onsite. Setup and removal of your old mattress are free.

Mostly Mattresses is a mobile mattress service. Instead of asking you to spend an afternoon walking a showroom floor, we bring the mattresses to you anywhere in our service area around Jackson. Here’s what to expect, step by step, and how to get the most out of it.

Why try mattresses at home?

Shopping in a store means testing a mattress for a few minutes, under bright lights, with a salesperson nearby, on a floor model that may be set up very differently from your bed at home. It’s hard to relax, and harder to compare.

At home, you test mattresses in the room where you’ll use them, at your own pace, in the position you actually sleep in. Everyone who’ll sleep on the bed can try it. You can see how each one looks in the space. And because we bring a hand-picked selection rather than a whole showroom, the choice is focused on what you told us you want.

It also saves a trip. There’s no driving from store to store, no loading anything into a truck, and no wondering how the mattress you tried under the store lights will feel in your own bedroom. You get to make the decision in the place where it matters.

The five steps

Step 1: Tell us your preferences

It starts with a quick form. You tell us your mattress size, the firmness you like, any preferred brands, your budget and how to reach you. If you’re not sure about some of it, that’s fine. The Mattress Match quiz walks through a few simple questions about who’s sleeping on the mattress and how you sleep. You can also just fill out the booking form or call us.

Step 2: A personalized selection

Using your answers, our team hand-picks 3-4 mattresses for you, ranging from good, better, to best options. The idea is to give you a real comparison: different feels and price points within what you told us, so you can feel the difference yourself rather than guessing from a description. We carry name brands like Sealy and Stearns & Foster, at 30-70% off retail prices.

Step 3: Convenient delivery

We schedule a time that works for you and bring the selected mattresses to your home or office, free of charge. We're available Monday–Friday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.–3 p.m.; Sunday by appointment only.

Step 4: Try before you buy

This is the part a showroom can’t match. You test each mattress in the room where it will live, with your own pillow if you like. Take your time:

  • Lie in your usual sleep position for a few minutes on each one.
  • If you share a bed, test together.
  • Roll over and change positions the way you do at night.
  • Compare them against each other, not just one at a time.

Our guide to mattress firmness by sleep position has more on what to notice.

Step 5: A seamless purchase

Once you’ve found the mattress you want, you complete your purchase onsite, right there in your home. We set up your new mattress for free and take your old one away for free.

How to get ready for your fitting

  • Know your size, or measure. If you’re changing size, check the room and the path in. Our size chart guide has dimensions and room-fit tips.
  • Clear a path. Make room from the door to the bedroom so the mattresses can come in easily. Let us know about stairs or tight turns when you book.
  • Strip the old bed if you’d like us to take the old mattress away.
  • Have everyone who’ll sleep on it there, so you can all try the options.
  • Write down what you didn’t like about your current mattress: too soft, too firm, too small. It’s the most useful thing you can tell us.
  • Think about extras. If you’re interested in pillows or an adjustable base, mention it when you book so we can plan for it.

During the fitting, it’s worth asking about anything that matters to you: how each mattress is built, how they compare, which ones work with an adjustable base, and how to care for the one you choose. There are no silly questions; the point is to leave with a mattress you’re happy with.

Common questions about the fitting

What if I don’t know my preferred firmness? Tell us that. We’ll bring a range of feels so you can compare softer and firmer options side by side.

Can you bring pillows and an adjustable base? Yes. We offer pillows and adjustable bases as well. Let us know when you book.

What happens to my old mattress? If you’d like it gone, we remove and dispose of it for free.

Can I book a fitting on a weekend? We’re available on Saturdays, and Sundays by appointment. Tell us your preferred day and time when you book.

Where do you go? Brandon, Flowood, Clinton, Madison, Gluckstadt, Jackson, Flora, Pisgah and Pelahatchie. If you’re nearby and not sure, call us.
