The Truth About Expensive Mattresses

Tons of people I know are sleeping on cheap mattresses. Why?

The people that aren’t are telling me they wish they wouldn’t have wasted the money on upgrading their old ones.

So is it better to invest in cheap mattresses than buying a mattress costing much more?

I have contacts with several dealers who sell bedding for a living, and a few who are sales reps at major manufacturers like Sealy.

The other day I was having lunch with one of my afformentioned colleagues and he asked, “Can you guess the difference between the $3000 mattresses I sell and the ones you can get on sale for a hundred bucks?”, I had no answer. He said “The little strip of fabric that tells you the brand”

“There has to be some sort of difference in the materials or quality of construction?”

“Nope, not a single difference. Actually, most of the mattresses available in the department stores for thousands of dollars come off the same assembly line as the ones in the discount stores!”

There are different styles with springs or foam but the only difference in like models was the pricetag. I found this to be astonishing.

Now that the bedding professionals have let the cat out of the bag, we know that a cheap mattress is identical in almost every facet and thread to the ones that cost far far more, the only difference is how much the dealers can make reselling them for a profit. You are essentially paying for a brand name, much the same as you would for clothes.

With some careful research and reading reviews on the subject you should be able to find cheap mattresses that are identical to a brand name unit for a fraction of the price.
