For what it's worth...

The last time I bought a mattress I went to O'Charley's and had a steak with their potato soup. I was FULL. Sleepy full. I went to the store and laid down on their mattresses...just to see which one "fit."

I "slept" on a Temperpedic a few weeks ago. Not a bad "lay" in both senses of the word.
 
The crazy thing about the mattress industry a lot of people don't know is how they are marked up. It rivals jewelry.
I married into a furniture family. When my FiL was alive he had a partial interest in a manufacturer in Tupelo. I’ve seen truckloads of recliners sell for $69-$109 ea wholesale and mark up to $300-$400. Depends on what’s hot but you can count on 300% markup. Tooling always has to be amortized into the piece price.
