In reply to Where should I buy a new mattress?, posted by BekkaH on December 22, 2002, at 0:26:00
You're going to find that buying a mattress is the closest thing to buying a used car. If you shop too much, you will be so confused that you'll just buy something to get it over with.
Sealy, Serta, Simmons, and Spring Air-the 4 S's.
They will take the same mattress and give proprietary model numbers to every store, even the small stores, so you have no way to really compare.
So yeah, Macy's..doesn't matter. Pick your price point..for a queen mattress and box springs, you should spend at least $700.00 on sale. For that, you may get a mattress you don't need to flip every few weeks and it will last. Spend more if you can-people spend a lot of time sleeping. It sucks to pay $500. for a mattress and two years later, you roll to the center.* The best way to buy a bed is to lay down for 20 minutes on each mattress you're interested in. Try to be in your normal sleeping position. You get up after 30 seconds cause you're self conscious but you gave it a shot.
Mattress adds usually run the most on Saturday's and there's a million mattress stores. Just go to Macy's. :-0 But remember, when you need barstools, just come back here to Barney's Barstool Barn. Remember the jingle: "Need some barstools-Don't be a damn fool-Buy your stuff from Barney's...Walmart blows"*Poster is a recovering salesperson. Buyer beware.
