Wait, what? Mattresses?
I am confused and, I confess, Google is not exactly helpful - like you suggested.
I don't think I've ever been scammed when buying a mattress? I don't think anyone has even tried to scam me while buying a mattress. Then again, those two traits would make for a good scam.
- maxerickson 9y agoThey aren't really a scam as such, the margins are just ridiculously high. And there is stuff like no 2 stores having the same mattress, so you can't comparison shop.
- KGIII 9y agoAh, thanks. I don't really shop or compare prices, but just get what suits my needs. I've been happy with the results and costs, so I was unsure of where the scam was.
- joshmn 9y agoYou only buy so many mattresses in your lifetime, and they take up a ton of space. Of course their margins are high.
- praptak 9y agoThe author wasn't very clear on this one. It's not that mattresses in general are a scam, but the internet offers to make a fortune selling them.
- anonymous5133 9y agoThe scam is in the "100% your money back if you find a lower price" Each mattress is a different version because they use different color thread. Everything else is exactly the same as the competition.
- wkrause 9y agoMattress companies provide some of the highest payouts through affiliate marketing. As a result, there are many more bogus reviews for that product category than most high ticket items like good sound systems or cars.
