Buying a mattress is aggravating, but my experience has been rather different. Maybe I went to different types of stores, I don't know. I did notice that each store/chain seems to sell very similar mattresses that are somehow technically different models so you can't directly compare prices.
First mattress I bought had a sticker price of I think $850 plus tax. Ended up haggling and paying $550 cash (tax included) for the mattress with a cover included.
Second mattress I bought had a sticker price of around $2800. Haggled down to $900 after tax again with a cover included. It was significantly better than the first one.
Both were queen sized, included delivery and offered haul-off.

- ryan-c 8y agoMy negotiation skills are okay, but mattresses have absurd markups. Sales guy said $900 was the wholesale price, but I highly doubt that. I'm sure they still made at least a few hundred dollars on the sale. I've heard the wholesale price on a $3000 mattress can be as little as $300.
