But they may spend more time researching, comparing options and making sure they're getting the best value for their money.

For retailers, that means every conversation matters. Clear explanations, product knowledge and a focus on long-term value can make all the difference when customers are being extra careful with their spending.

Sleep has become one of the few things everyone seems to be chasing.

More energy. Less stress. Better focus. A little more patience. A little less exhaustion.

According to the latest Better Sleep Council research, managing stress and establishing a consistent sleep schedule rank among consumers' top priorities for better sleep. That's a useful insight for retailers because it shifts the conversation beyond comfort and features to something more personal: how people want to feel when they wake up each morning.

The mattress may be part of the solution, but better sleep is the outcome consumers are really after.
