Why is the price so low?

At Alba, four golden rules allow us to offer the lowest price on our mattresses:

not the unavoidable costs associated with physical outlets such as
charges, sellers' remuneration, rents, costs of
storage, software costs, room furnishings, etc.

exactly the same principle at Alba: We commit to
large volumes from our workshops in order to reduce the unit cost as much as possible and therefore the sale price of Alba mattresses.

3. Restrict advertising. Again, in an effort to save money for our customers, Alba relies on the oldest marketing in the world: word of mouth. Thanks to this, our Alba sleepers are not impacted by these unnecessary marketing costs.

4. Reduce the team. Alba benefits from a reduced internal multi-skilled team, focused on the best product, at the best price, with the best service.
