Sleep and comfort: questions brands ask

Do you track offline and store sales?

Yes. We use offline conversion uploads and store-visit tracking. Offline stores still sell 56% of mattresses, so online ads often drive store sales.

How do you account for trial returns?

Trial returns are counted in margin from day one, so a campaign that sells mattresses that come back doesn't look like a winner.

How do you handle a long buying cycle?

We retarget across the full research window, run comparison-led search ads, and read results over 30 days instead of seven.

Why does a mattress brand need long retargeting?

Buyers research for weeks before they decide. We keep comparison content and reviews in front of people who researched, and save offers for the moment they are close to buying.

Which channels work best for mattresses?

Google catches comparison searches, Meta runs video reviews and retargeting, Amazon is where buyers compare prices, and your website sells trial offers and bundles.

How do you help buyers choose firmness?

We add firmness guides by sleeping position and body weight.

When do mattress brands sell most?

Demand peaks during the Republic Day sales in January, the Independence Day sales in August, and Diwali.

What do you check first in a sleep account?

We check the trial return rate, the time from first visit to order and how many orders include an add-on.

Do you sell pillows and bedding with mattresses?

Yes. We send add-on offers for pillows, protectors and bed frames in the weeks after delivery.

Do you track sales in stores?

Yes. We use offline conversion uploads and store-visit tracking where the brand has stores.
