When they came in with their wives they couldn't wait to get the hell out of there. Having a game going on a big screen helped as long as their wife didn't mind them wandering off I want the price out the door. Not the price of whatever the mattress is on sale today, the box spring isn't, the recommend frame is another price today only, and if you want to 90 day return, you have to buy the mattress sleeve which is a sale price today but they aren't sure what it is. Of this bed has a tag on it for 70% off, but that is for the floor model only and we can't sell that to you until the rest of the beds in the warehouse sell first.

We used to sell them at 50% off when not on sale and still make over 100% markup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we look at furniture we got some dipshit young kid. He kept trying to help us but he had no idea what he was talking about.

The worst mattress I ever bought was from a furniture store. The last few have some from Sam's. Check out Costco too. You can get a nice bed for less than $500.
