How can mattress stores make any money? It seems like there is one in every strip mall. How many mattresses do people buy in a lifetime?
I can honestly say that I’ve bought one at a mattress store. It is nice and comfy but I’m not married to it. If I had to buy a new one because of a tornado or God forbid my dog expired on it and released its bowels and everything else I would probably not go back to a mattress store. All the others I’ve purchased for my children have come from Sam’s Club or a discount mega-mart type store.
Makes you wonder how many mattresses these stores have to sell in order to pay their monthly rent and utilities or even the paychecks of the poor people that work there. Can you imagine working commission as a sales rep at a mattress store? It would be better if they would legalize prostitution and hiring the ladies to be sales rep. Because even if they don’t make the commission of the mattress sale they could at least make money off of the test drive.
