Buying a mattress in Minneapolis means comparing Edina showrooms, factory-direct stores in the south and east metro, and delivery conditions across the Twin Cities. Start with the route and the exact store, not a generic statewide list. Our mattress stores hub explains how to compare delivered offers; this guide narrows the practical stops around Minneapolis.
Where to start near Minneapolis
These locations cover three different shopping experiences: a broad retailer assortment, an official brand showroom and local factory construction. They are spread across Edina, Richfield and Saint Paul, so group your visits by direction instead of trying to cross the metro during rush hour.
Mattress Firm Edina, broad brand comparison
3240 Southdale Circle, Edina, MN 55435 · (952) 285-8393. This is a useful first stop when your shortlist includes memory foam, hybrids and traditional innersprings. The floor assortment changes, so call with the exact model and firmness before driving over.
Ask for one written quote that separates the mattress, foundation, delivery, setup, removal and accessories. A retailer display does not automatically carry the manufacturer’s direct return terms.
Edina Viewing Room, official luxury showroom
3871 Gallagher Drive, Edina, MN 55435 · (952) 209-6995. The showroom lists 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. No appointment is required. The official location page says it displays every mattress except the online-only Bunk & Trundle and Murphy Bed models.
This is a viewing room, not a same-day pickup counter. The local visit is for comparing feels and firmness choices before an order is delivered.
Original Mattress Factory Southdale, local construction
2908 W. 66th Street, Richfield, MN 55423 · (612) 439-7133. The official locator places it at the corner of 66th Street and York Avenue, next to Schmitt Music. Listed hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Original Mattress Factory describes its mattresses and box springs as hand-built at a local factory and sold directly in its stores. Its two-sided, flippable designs and custom-size work are different from a fixed national-brand assortment. Ask about construction, foundation, lead time, comfort exchange and warranty terms in writing.
Original Mattress Factory Highland, east-metro option
2098 Ford Parkway, St. Paul, MN 55116 · (651) 529-8860. The official listing identifies this store in front of Highland Bank. It offers the same factory-direct, two-sided and custom-size approach, making it a practical alternative to Southdale for Saint Paul shoppers. Confirm hours before making the trip.
Minneapolis terrain, weather and store routes
Twin Cities mattress shopping changes with the season. Snow, ice and freeze-thaw conditions can turn a short trip into a slow one, while apartment buildings may require a loading-zone reservation or a protected elevator route. Measure stair turns, hallways and the bedroom door before ordering, and ask the store how its delivery team handles snow access and packaging.
For a same-day comparison, keep Edina stops together and Richfield or Highland for a separate route. Bring the delivery ZIP code, building access details and the old mattress dimensions. A showroom can confirm feel; it cannot confirm that a full-size box, foundation or split base will make the final turn into your room.
How to test a mattress in a showroom
Bring your usual pillow height, or ask for one close to it. Spend 10 to 15 minutes on each finalist in your normal sleep position. Roll over, sit on the edge and have your partner move while you note shoulder and hip pressure, ease of turning, edge confidence and partner disturbance separately.
Photograph the model label and write down the exact firmness, height and base. Ask whether the displayed bed is a current model, whether the quote includes delivery to your ZIP code, and what happens if the mattress is stained or damaged during a return. Do not let a short promotion replace a complete written offer.
Delivery and returns in Minnesota
For a local purchase, the retailer’s written policy controls. Read the full Mattress Firm return policy before buying, and ask the salesperson to put any exchange fee, restocking charge, pickup condition or model exclusion on the invoice.
Saatva’s direct policy uses a 365-night home trial. Its Edina location page says white-glove delivery includes room setup and eligible old-mattress and foundation removal when selected at checkout, with an estimated 9 to 21 days by ZIP code. A viewing-room visit does not mean the mattress is available to take home.
Amerisleep uses a separate direct-order policy, so never combine a store’s terms with a manufacturer’s. Confirm the trial, return window, foundation rules, pickup and refund process before paying. In Minnesota winter, also confirm the delivery window, snow access and whether your building requires advance notice.
When a home trial is more useful
Once the local stops have narrowed the feel you want, a direct home trial can answer questions a ten-minute showroom visit cannot. The two options below stay after the Minneapolis route because their value is the delivery and return policy, not a claim that they are local stores.
Amerisleep AS3
Amerisleep describes the AS3 as a medium-feel, 12-inch mattress with Bio-Pur memory foam and HIVE support. The direct offer includes free shipping and returns, a 100-night home trial and a 20-year warranty. Amerisleep asks customers to try the mattress for at least 30 nights before starting a return.
The tradeoff is straightforward: you judge the exact bed in your own bedroom rather than on a showroom floor. If it is not a fit within the trial, Amerisleep says it coordinates free pickup and a refund. Compare the mattress-only total with each store quote and the exact feel you noted in the local stores.
Saatva Classic
Saatva Classic is the luxury alternative and the easier one to test locally. At the Edina Viewing Room, compare Plush Soft, Luxury Firm and Firm, lie in your normal sleep position, roll over and sit on the edge. Saatva’s product page describes a Euro pillow top and dual-coil construction, so expect more bounce and easier movement than a slow-response foam bed.
Direct purchase includes free White Glove delivery and in-room setup. Eligible removal is selected at checkout, and the direct policy uses a 365-night home trial. See the official Saatva Classic details before choosing firmness.
Compare the shortlist before you drive
For memory foam, use Mattress Firm Edina to compare floor models and AS3 as the direct-order medium benchmark. For coil-forward luxury, test Saatva Classic in Edina. For hand-built, two-sided or unusual-size construction, Original Mattress Factory gives you a different conversation. Arrive with a shorter list by writing down the feel, height and support type you want to compare.
If a move takes you beyond the Twin Cities, the Chicago mattress stores guide is the closest useful comparison in another upper-Midwest market. The Denver mattress stores guide is more relevant when the delivery address is moving west. These are two regional references, not a list of extra Minneapolis stops.
Final verdict
Start with Mattress Firm Edina for broad comparison, Saatva Edina when the Classic is on your shortlist, or Original Mattress Factory when local factory construction and custom sizing matter. Call first, group the route by neighborhood, and compare the complete delivered offer.
Amerisleep AS3 is the #1 direct-order benchmark for medium responsive foam. Saatva Classic is #2 and has the local testing advantage. The best Minneapolis purchase is the one whose feel, delivery route and return policy remain clear after the sales conversation.
