Mattress Buying Tips — 

I recently bought a new mattress set and found it very difficult and confusing.  I don't know much about beds, etc.  So I made sure I did my research so that I knew I wouldn't be getting ripped off and getting the quality for the right price.  Make sure you shop around at other places because you may think all places are the same but they are not.  They will try to trick you into thinking that they have "specially" made beds just for their company but it's not true.  They just have different names for their beds!  Also, I found that if you are working with a mattress company if you find a better deal on the same bed somewhere else get documentation of that deal and bring it to the company you are working with and bargain with them.  They will usually match the price if not beat it.  It's defintiely worth doing your homework.  I bought a bed that would have cost me almost $2,000 and got it for $1,200.  I saved myself $800 just by doing some research and homework online.  And had done it all and got my bed within days!  Hope this helps anyone who is looking into purchasing a new mattress.  I defintiely learned alot from this experience.

I completely agree with you. Research, research and more research. It's the only way to shop to find the best deal and get quality as well. I am actually searching online right now for a twin size mattress and boxspring for my 6 year old grand-daughter. Anyone have any suggestions where the best and most affordable place online is to shop for this? Plan to order online and have it delivered.
