Also apparently if you aren't satisfied with it, they take it back full refund and they donate the old mattress. How is that a viable business model?

mattresses are insanely high margin business

main thing driving super high costs is the fact that you can't really assess the quality of a mattress before buying it, and purchases are made extremely infrequently (once every 10 years). so the rational strategy for a mattress firm is to price high and use much of the margin to fund advertising.

almost all the top review sites are owned by one mattress company or another. sleepopolis is indirectly owned by casper, i believe.

They all get less firm over time so if you just buy a plush mattress you will just be sleeping in a pit in 5 years.

Firm mattresses are better for your back.

This shit is subjective but thankfully they all come with trial periods now so you can just send that shit back if you don’t like it.

This is definitely a firmer mattress than 90% of what’s on the market but it’s not like sleeping on the floor.

Went back and forth between Mattress stores and haggled using the competitors prices + the online price at 1800 Matteess. Only difficulty is finding the exact same mattress at each store bc they give them ridic names... but once you do that its Golden.

Spent basically a whole Sunday doing it, but it was 180 when I beat the guy down to accepting my offer.
