Did your friend just get ripped off by a mattress salesman? Here are the two signs…
If your friend tells you:
"I got a great deal on a new mattress!"
This is ALWAYS a red flag. The job of the salesman is to convince the customer that they're getting an amazing deal by buying their product. A deal so incredible, that they'd be foolish to pass on it. Mattress salesmen are great at this. Maybe even better than used car salesmen. Its vital that the customer leaves the store with the concrete belief that they're the ones coming out on the better end of the deal. This ensures a very low rate of returns.
Then, if you hear your buddy repeat the classic mattress salesman phrase:
"You spend 1/3rd of your life sleeping….."
This is usually followed by something like "makes sense to invest in comfort" or longevity…typically something along those lines. Always starts the exact same way though. Understand, mattress salesmen have been using this tired line for at least a century. And fools still fall for it. I don't know why. But they'll proudly recite the same played-out sales line in an attempt to convince others that their purchase was the deal of a lifetime. Its ludicrous, fellas. It really is. Just means they got hooked with the same old, stale bait and don't even realize it happened.
Be aware, you're not going to get a good deal on a mattress. Not on a new one. The industry prices mattresses at several-hundred-times the manufacturing cost. The profit margins are insane. There is no good deal to be obtained. So its better to get ripped off for a couple hundred bucks than several thousand. Buy cheap, take care of your body, eat healthy, sleep on your back and you won't have any issue with comfort.

Why pay for a matress when you can just pick one off the sidewalk?
Go to any major US city, and you'll see people dumping they matresses on every street corner and freeway on-ramp….

Tempur pedic mattresses are game changing.
You are your thoughts. Life is perception, thoughts are perception, perception is reality ergo thoughts are reality, I think therefore I am.

I'm just gonna leave this here.
6740 posts, 5073 have the word "anus" in them. That's 75% of his posts, in 75% of OP's posts he's referencing another man's anus. Is it any wonder that OP is a huge homosexual? The mattress is of no importance to OP, just as long as he's getting his back blown out.
Watch him reply to this post in a most homosexual of manners.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

OP, for the price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks ($29.90), you can pay for a misc platinum subscription every day.

Be aware, you're not going to get a good deal on a mattress. Not on a new one. The industry prices mattresses at several-hundred-times the manufacturing cost. The profit margins are insane. There is no good deal to be obtained. So its better to get ripped off for a couple hundred bucks than several thousand. Buy cheap, take care of your body, eat healthy, sleep on your back and you won't have any issue with comfort.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
