Okay, so I've been looking for a mattress for the last couple of weeks, and looked at JC Penny's outlet, Mattress Lquidation Center, Costco, and so on. Well I continued to search on the internet and came across this place called the Mattress King. I look at the reviews on Yelp, and they say all this great stuff about them, so I call to see what time they close. The young lady Penny answers the phone says were open til 8 pm. Well I'm sitting at home with my youngest daughther watching a movie, I tell her after its over were going to look at some mattresses. We get down there, and she shows me a number of mattresses and gives me a full breakdown on the different types, what they cost and so forth. I settle on a mattress that would normally cost around $1700.00 - $2000.00 dollars. It just so happens that they are having a 50% half off sale, so she offers me a price of $899.00, she then ask me where did I want to be with regards to price. I say around $700.00. She drops the price, and gives me a factory rebate for an additional $100.00. I'm happy! Well a few minutes later the owner walks in and he and I sit down and start talking with him. He says when your shopping for a mattress the markup is around 200 to 300 percent thats becasue all of the overhead. He then says I am the 3rd generation Mattress King, I own the building, I get the best mattresses and I want happy customers. He then tells me I don't do any advertising, cause I let my service and product speak for itself. If your happy then I can get repeat business and referals. Well needless to say, I am going back to get my daughters mattress, and strongly recommend purchasing from the Mattress King.
