Don't get fleeced when shopping for a new mattress

By George Dodson


Everyone has to sleep. Everyone has to sleep though others do it longer or shorter than others. People usually sleep on mattresses.

Mattresses come in a variety of sizes and styles. You can have them in standard, foam, air, and water.. They are also available in either soft or hard or between the two. No matter your choice, you need to buy one. How do you do that and not get scammed?

You might cough up several thousand dollars for high end mattresses. Due to this, you must be aware on what you are up to.

Subsequently, you might find major differences in the cost of the same mattress in different stores and for what reason?

Nearly all industries feature a comparison price on their merchandise.. If you require a TV, there are several stores that you can compare prices to get one that suits your quality and budget. Gas prices also face the same principle. If you shop around, you are sure to find the best price for you.

The mattress industry differs as it features a non-price comparison approach for your confusion.

Looking for a mattress is no different than your other items. You are in possession of a list and you take a look at the discounters to get a base price. Your list features 5 of the top mattresses you need. You take this list to the first store and you find that they don't have any of those mattresses but they do have X and "let me show you the advantages of this mattress. You get confused here as they lack what is in your list.

Most of the models you are familiar with are the same mattress. They are different on a small scale but their prices have a wide range.

How is this overcome?

Be cautious of stores marking up their mattresses with coupons making them look like bargains, do not fall for this.

Stores might "bait and switch." Meaning they draw your interest to a product and switch over to another one which is apparently better.

How do you go about this?

Stick to your budget albeit you might be required to move on to the next store.

Be familiar with the mattress that you want to purchase. Move on to the next store when faced with a situation like the above.

Get your product assurance in written form.

If you will follow these few tips, your mattress shopping experience will be less stressful.
