Raise your hand if you have ever blamed your partner for a bad night's sleep. 🙋

Before your customers point fingers, help them point to the real problem: their mattress. An old, worn-out mattress disrupts both sleepers, and if it's been around for 7-plus years, it's time to have the talk. The mattress talk, that is. 😄 Share this with your team and use it on the floor this week.

"The product is a mystery. It's a rectangle on the floor in a crowded environment."

That's how one industry expert describes the mattress showroom experience. And he's not wrong. The retailers who get it right are the ones who know how to bring order to that environment and build a story around why this mattress, for this person, changes everything.
