A mattress is bought after weeks of comparing.
Nobody can lie on a mattress through a screen, so shoppers read reviews, compare brands and watch videos before they choose. That can take weeks, and one ad and one visit rarely close the sale. The market also got smaller in 2025: mattress unit shipments fell 13.2%, according to the International Sleep Products Association, so every shopper you've already paid to reach is worth following up.
So the plan lasts as long as the research does. Ads that introduce the brand run alongside retargeting, which shows people who visited the proof they're looking for: reviews, the trial and video of the mattress itself. Email and texts start when a shopper joins your list and keep going until they buy, and every campaign is judged over the whole buying window instead of the first few days. More in email and SMS.
