Should I buy a California King size mattress online or in-store?
It really comes down to your own personal shopping preference. Some people were born in the age of the internet and online shopping is what they know and are more comfortable with, while others prefer being in-person to shop so they can touch, feel and see the exact product they are investing in. So, there is no right or wrong way to shop for a mattress.
