Paging Mattress Shoppers

I always get so much help from people here so just wanted to pass this along. I've done TONS of Mattress Shops but today I learned there are 2 NEW QUESTIONS so I just wanted to forewarn you:

1.)What was the FIRST mattress rep showed you?

2.)What was the SECOND mattress they showed you?

They want brand AND model. The first one I remembered. The 2nd one I only knew because I voice recorded the entire visit like I usually do for 'just in case' purposes.

If this helps someone avoid an incomplete shop----wonderful. If not, well, you will never ever ever get 30 seconds of your life back again because you spent time reading this for no reason.

I think you are referring to mattress shops by the company that does the greasy burger and fry shops? yes I did one and the form definitely asks for the first and second models- complete names and models. There is a big sale on for Tempur Pedic saw ads on TV the other day- I suspect the stores are being told to push that brand as the Tempur Breeze was the first one shown to me. Thanks for the heads up

I always just take a picture of the label with the name on it and usually the prices. I've never had a salesrep complain.

What does paging mean? Is that like the Bat-Signal?

Please don't feed the MSF trolls!

Feeding the MSF trolls bread or other human food is detrimental to their health and the environment. It can lead to malnutrition, disease, and behavioral problems in trolls, as well as water pollution and the spread of pests. Trolls are capable of finding their own food sources and don't require human assistance.

Yes that one. Honestly - I didn't read guidelines and I've not read it in awhile just because I've done so many shops, never a problem. So I didn't know these questions would pop up. Anyhow, just passing it along.

Thank you, good to know. The last time I visited, I was surprised by how much the old Tempur-Pedic
mattresses got slashed to make room for the new ones.

It used to be the Temperpedic sets were never allowed to be discounted from MSRP. I believe it was something I had to ask for during shops.

Saw a TV add a couple weeks back where they were advertising the discount.

I guess there's enough memory foam matresses out now it's a competitive market.

Yes! Before Tempur-Pedic bought out Mattress Firm, the other retailers couldn't further discount them. Usually, the sales were only a discount on its adjustable base or accessories.

I own the top of the line Tempur Pedic from 10 years ago. A major regional retailer went out of business. On a lark, I went into one of the locations and ran into an employee who gave me the heads up on how the liquidation was going. I missed on a queen sized and adjustable, but bought two California King (Twin XL) adjustable based for $150 each, then two Luz Breeze Twin XL mattresses to go with them. $10K for $1000. Best investment.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

I'm a big fan, as well. I know someone who knows someone who works there and got a great deal at the time. Years later, I was in awe at the drop in prices. I see it as an investment, as well.

Also, the purchase can be exempt from sales tax in some states with a prescription.

If same one I'm thinking, I saw a recent round go for $75, but I was subject to rotation.

I am seen one with $52 offer but that is an hour drive one way.

Those are much more involved with lots of narratives, but still worth the fee and the company is a good one. The other ones referred to by OP are for the easy peasy shop reporting company that pays not so great. I took one today for $30. Much less stressful than the $75 ones, although they have added quite a bit of narrative to what used to be an easy form. I'm a sucker for that adjustable base. I love reclining in it with my feet up in the air...so relaxing even if its only for 5 minutes.

I record all of my site visits now for the same reason. It really helps.
