How Can I Get the Best Price on a New Mattress? |
|
This is a very difficult question and depends on several factors. First, it's important to comparison shop at as many different stores as possible. Many larger stores and chains offer price guarantees where they will "meet & beat" a competitor's price. Sometimes it's worth finding a good price online and then forcing the chain to beat it. However, be aware that many times dealers will sell the same mattress under different names so that they can claim that the mattresses aren't "apples to apples", even when they're really identical. Also be aware that some kinds of mattresses (particularly Tempur-Pedic) have strict pricing regulations and, as a result, must be sold for the same price at all retailers. Your best bet is to comparison shop as much as possible, negotiate for a good price, and see if you can get any extras (pillows, sheets, no tax) thrown in with the deal.
