Online mattress companies that ship to your front door say that finding the perfect bed might just take a few clicks. But experts warn that it's important to look beneath the sheets. They say many mattresses being sold are actually very similar — despite how they're marketed.

at a valuation of $1.1 billion. Its stock has dropped 40% since the merger, and the company is currently valued at $355 million.
