Mattress Stores

Buying a mattress can be a pretty intimidating process. Many people feel embarassed or vulnerable by laying on mattresses as someone watches, while you try to pretend you are getting ready for a good night sleep and are checking the comfort out for yourself.

There are many different major box mattress store around. Some of the major stores are Sleep Country (both USA and Canada), Mattress Mattress (Canada only), as well as many other independent furniture stores. Furniture and department stores such as Walmart, Sears, or your local family start-ups will also typically sell them. To find mattress stores in your area, type your city name and “mattress store” in the google custom search at the top right of this page for best results. Regular searches on google will work as well, but the search to the top right will search specifically within the mattress genre.

When dealing with the mattress sales people themselves, make sure you take precautions as they can be very convincing. You would be surprised how easy it is to walk out of a mattress store with a mattress the sales person will make top commission on. Here is some advise from a previous post on discount beds:

Know how to barter with the sales persons. Mattress stores are absolutely insane with their mark-ups and notorious for making you feel like you are getting a “once in a lifetime deal”. You may be surprised how cheap you can actually get mattresses for (many times 40% or more off the sticker price). They will often guide you to the mattress they want you to buy so you must be very careful to not end up with the most marked up bed (but cheap quality). Never buy the mattress on the spot. Write down the make and model of the mattress and do some homework. Check reviews online (and prices!). They will give you the same (or better) deal no matter what they say to seal the deal immediately. They know that the chance of making the sale decreases substantially if they let you walk out the door. Look up the product and be patient. You’ll be surprised how much you can save by seeming really uncertain and uneasy about the price!

Good luck finding the best bed for yourself! Remember, take your time since you will be spending one third of the rest of your life in it!
