Software Solutions for Mattress Sellers Online
A mattress is chosen by size, thickness and firmness and bought with a trial period and a warranty in mind. Sellers need size data, bulky delivery, a way to collect a returned mattress and a register that ties each warranty claim to the original sale.
Sell mattresses by size and firmness, and run the trial and warranty from the sale.
A mattress is a high-value, bulky item that a buyer cannot test online. The seller offers a trial period and a warranty to make up for it, and both create work after the sale.
A return means a collection, an inspection and a decision on what happens to a used mattress. Few order systems have a place for any of that.
Online-first mattress brands
A brand sells direct, ships mattresses compressed in a box and runs a trial period as part of the offer.
Maker with showrooms and an online range
A maker sells in showrooms and online and treats the trial and warranty the same in both.
The workflow for mattresses.
- 1
Picking size and firmness
A buyer picks a bed size, thickness and firmness from options with a guide beside them.
- 2
Packing and sending
The mattress is packed to the carrier’s rules, and the serial or batch is saved if one is printed.
- 3
Delivering and unboxing
A delivery slot is agreed. The old mattress is collected on the same visit where the seller offers that.
- 4
Requesting a return
A buyer opens a request inside the trial window, and a pick-up is booked.
- 5
Settling a claim
A later warranty claim is matched to the sale and decided under the seller’s terms.

What we would build for mattresses.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.

- Freight and courier booking for mattresses, once a trial of their interface works
- The gateway used for the sale, for refunds
- Showroom stock and bills, if the maker has showrooms
