Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

Back maybe 15 years ago we sold Tempur mattresses for a few months. I made that choice reluctantly because the price the manufacturer charged us to buy them was two to three times higher than any other company that built as comfortable a mattress (in my opinion).

We one day the owner of the rights to Tempur in Canada visited my showroom and I asked him point-blank why his mattress was so expensive? His answer still stuns me. He said "Bill 60% of what you pay me goes into marketing".

We never ordered another Tempurpedic mattress after that and sold off the floor sample a blowout price.

They make a good product for sure but I think it is still way overpriced.
