Mattress Financing Guide
A quality mattress is a significant investment. Here's how financing can make it more accessible.
How Mattress Financing Works
Most major mattress brands offer financing through third-party providers like Affirm, Klarna, or Shop Pay Installments. These services let you split your purchase into monthly payments, often with 0% APR promotional periods for qualified buyers.
Financing is typically offered at checkout and requires a soft or hard credit check depending on the provider. Approval, rates, and terms depend on your creditworthiness.

| Affirm | Installment loan | 3-36 months, 0-36% APR | Soft pull, may hard pull | Purple, Casper, many DTC brands |

Terms and availability vary. Check directly with the provider and retailer for current offers. Approval depends on creditworthiness.
Tips for Financing a Mattress
Look for 0% APR
Many brands offer 0% APR promotional periods. This means no interest if you pay within the promotional window. Always confirm the terms before committing.
Check the Total Cost
With interest-bearing plans, calculate the total amount you'll pay over the full term. A lower monthly payment can mean more total interest.
Understand the Trial Period
If you return a mattress during the trial, check how the financing is handled. Most providers will refund or cancel remaining payments.
Credit Impact
Soft credit pulls (common with Affirm and Klarna) don't affect your score. Hard pulls (Synchrony store cards) may temporarily lower your score.
