We bought ours at pilgrim furniture. The experience was so so. They must be on commission, they tried to upsell and get us to buy add ons. The mattress guy was ok, a bit pushy, but ok once he realized we weren't buying all the add ons. Similar experience at Raymore and Bob's. Very pushy. Commission driven, like buying a car. Know what you want, do some research and you'll be fine.

The best mattress we bought was a Setra at Macy's. I was returning something and went to use the mens room, back in the furniture section. Didn't realize they sold mattress. Got a $3000 mattress on clearance for $1200. Only catch was no delivery. Worth it for $1800 in my pocket.

I sometimes see high end, brand new mattresses at auction. They are unused, but the buyer refused delivery, so they can't be resold, so they dump them at an auction house. If you're patient, you could score.

Good luck.

Been to both pilgrim and bobs and experienced something very similar, the mattresses seem good, but the experience could be better… this kind of pushes me to online retailers, where I think I could get the same quality, but at cheaper price because less middle men?

I bought one at pilgrim. After 5 years we got concave sections where we regularly slept. Tried a different brand at Pilgrim, spent big bucks on it and still my fat ass leaves a divot.

I’ve got someone sleeping in my guest room on the best mattress I ever owned. It’s stiff when you go to bed, but you awake in heaven. No divots. I can’t wake them up to strip the bed and get the name. Nag me tomorrow and I might look to see what it was.

How many people do you think paid $3000 for that mattress?
