Mattress sales are up there with automobile sales in regard to shady practices. Notice that you can't comparison shop because the names never match from chain to chain (need to use coil count and other features), and if you EVER pay full price for a mattress you are getting ripped off.
I don't blame the sales staff, they are only making a living. It's the industry that is driving the practices.
