  Study your delivery options. Mattress companies provide a host of delivery options for varying fees. If you select standard mattress delivery, you may not receive your mattress for three weeks. In most cases, you can get standard delivery free of charge with your new mattress purchase. In addition, you'll be able to receive free installation, meaning the delivery team will set up your mattress for you. In other instances, you may get your mattress delivered curbside without installation. Make sure you understand the terms of your mattress delivery.

Depending on the mattress you purchased, you may not be able get installation with express delivery. For example, companies like www.brandnamemattress.com deliver only Sealy mattresses curbside on express deliveries.

  Inspect your mattress. Take a good look at the appearance of your mattress inside the plastic. Notice any rips or tears in the plastic. This may mean that you'll have scuffs or other markings on your new mattress. Ask the movers to clean off the bed packaging outside your house. This will prevent any dust, bugs and other insects from being tracked into your home. Deny delivery of your mattress if you are not satisfied with the bag appearance.
