+Don Poznanskis Thanks Don. I try not to get too much "into the weeds" with the Beducation series so that everyone can relate.

Good information! To this date I have yet to have received a detailed breakdown of brand materials layer by layer from any mattress store. I always end up walking away.

The only way you can learn about the durability and quality of a mattress is to know the interior componentry. If you can't find that out, you're wise to look elsewhere.

Why can't I find a traditional coiled split queen box spring? Don't they make them anymore?

Yes, they're still manufactured - just not in large numbers. Torsion flexing systems replaced traditional coil box spring by and large maybe 4 decades or so ago, as they maintain a flatter profile, are lighter, and more affordable to produce. Rigid foundations replaced the torsion systems mostly a few decades ago, as they keep an even flatter profile and are even more affordable to produce. True coil box springs are still produced, but you'll usually have to search for a more specialized mattress manufacturer (usually something a bit more bespoke). Off the top of my head, Leggett and Platt has a coil box spring line that they produce for mattress manufacturers called the WebLok. You may want to do a search for that.

I understand that the original pricing is fictitious, but if you have a mattress that you are looking at and you ask two different retailers straight up, what is the cost of the mattress, itself, and nothing, else. And one says, $900, and one says, $850, but the $900 mattress guy, says, if you pay in cash, they will discount an extra 15% ($135 discount = $765) because they don't have to pay the associated card fees and the guy who quoted $850 to comes down to $700. What do you think was the true value or price of the mattress? Is it always around $300 for markup? Also... Say the price was $300 less than the original quoted $900. What should I have asked for the price if the real price was actually $600? Should I look for a discount further than the actual Real Price of $600? ($900 - minus the $300 markup = $600) or should I just look for the true value of the mattress to be the selling price?

If you go to a store where you feel you have to negotiate as you describe, then I recommend avoiding that business. More honest retailers will tend to have fairer everyday low pricing with more modest sale promotions, offering consumers a good value all of the time. And no retailer is paying 15% in credit card fees. You need to become an educated consumer in the componentry within the mattress, and then you can then logically compare items from store to store. If a store does not share that information with you, seek another store. Overall, the "regular" prices like you are describing are pure fiction and meaningless, and the final price you pay is all that matters, and if a store was willing to sell you the same item for $300 more just because you didn't ask for a discount, they are not worthy of your business or trust, in my opinion. Find someone who treats you better and values your business.

This would be illegal in Canada. Forzani Group in Canada who owns SportMart, Sport Chek, Coast Mountain Sports, and National Sports was fined $2million for same tactics. They adjusted regular price of a product on the floor to mis represent sale pricing. This is illegal here. Infact if a price is on your floor for I believe its 3 months that is now your regular price not sale.

+Ken VanDyken Yes, it is unfortunate that this practice is allowed in many places here in the States.
