Should you buy a mattress online?

The Wirecutter writer Kevin Purdy talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode about the booming online mattress industry and why, suddenly, ads for companies like Casper, Leesa and Tuft & Needle are seemingly everywhere. Purdy breaks down the economics of the traditional and digital mattress business and explains that beds you buy online aren't necessarily better than the ones you'd buy in the store — although they may be cheaper. Later in the show, the trio answers your questions about the differences among these mattresses and the riskiness of their warranties.
