My small city has 20 or so mattress stores I can think of. They’re always empty, having “seasonal sales”, have people working them that follow you around the store, no direct prices but “I’ll go look that up” and “box spring included this week!”... I hated mattress shopping.
The best thing to happen to mattresses, was that someone figured out you can roll them up and ship them direct.
The fallout from that discovery of Purple vs Casper vs Avacado (my pick, love it) vs whatever... don’t care so long as I never need to go into a mattress store again.
- briandear 8y agoI agree. I happen to love Casper, but regardless of who you pick, the mattress in a box thing is great because mattress stores are all slimy to me.
- tyu1000 8y agoI went with Leesa, same reasons for going online, also has worked well for me.
- throwaway98121 8y agoI always wondered how these places stay open. I judge them as fronts for cleaning up dirty money.
- copperx 8y agoI have two neighbors who are mattress salesmen and their houses are decorated opulently, both in and out, and drive cars that working professionals in the neighborhood could never afford. It's suspicious, to be sure. I never thought that being a matress salesman was so profitable. One has offered me discounts if I buy from him, but I haven't taken him up on the offer.
