Anyone know of really good mattress store in Northern VA?

Hi LaClailus,

I’m perfectly fine with going non name brand, but most stores we’ve been to have done nothing but try and force those on us.

In many cases smaller independent manufacturers that are either sold factory direct or through better sleep shops will have much better quality and value than the largest brands (which I would avoid completely).

Just in case you haven’t read it yet … post #1 here (which is the most important reference post in the forum) … talks about how one of the most important parts of any mattress purchase is knowing the details of all the layers and components in your mattress. This is the only way to make meaningful comparisons of the quality or value of any mattress regardless of brand. As you will also read … I would avoid any mattress where the retailer either can’t or won’t provide you with this information.

We also thought about the sleep number beds, but I just can’t get past the thought that I’ll hear the mattress adjusting the air throughout the night.

This article has more information about the pros and cons of airbeds … and I’m also not a fan.

Some of the better options and possibilities I’m aware of in Northern Virginia area are in post #2 here.
