    Buying something that you spend 1/3 of your life lying on shouldn't be down to online pressure selling.
    The whole point of "try it and return it if you don't like it" is the hassle of getting it delivered and into your bedroom means you're more likely to keep it, coupled with the hassle of getting it out and collected - that's a calculated risk by the business. Even if it isn't the best mattress in the world (and how would you know, you've not tired others in shops), you'll end up keeping it.
    I went to the shop, tried it, then went back home, looked at other reviews e.g. for durability and if they actually did last as they said they would, plus compared prices... as it happens the mattress I was interested in was actually cheapest in the shop as they had sales and extra special offer that weekend, so I ordered it from the shop... I do the same with many things I go to shops try them and see the touch/feel of them, and they compare the prices and reviews online...

        That is one way, the other way I can think off is completely innocent.

          Go to the shop, knock one out yourself or take a partner for naughty fun, have a nap and a bag of crisps as a full test
          only one partner? How boring.

            Well, you could take 27 partners, but having left them all, just go with Pam and her five friends.

              I ordered one a couple of months ago. The mattress is OK but I've discovered I'm not a fan of memory foam so returned it last week. The return process was much easier than I thought. Logged onto the Simba website went to online chat and told the person on the other end I wasn't too fussed with the mattress. They sent a couple of guys in a van to pick it up a couple of days later.

                  Congratulations. I was making a joke about a 40 year relationship that is ending.
