Looking for Good Retailers in the Portland, OR

[phoenix]

Hi Maverick76er,

Just in case you haven’t seen it yet … I would make sure you start with the mattress shopping tutorial here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that you will need to make the best possible choice … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.

The better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Portland area (subject to the guidelines here) are listed in post #2 here.

You are fortunate to live in the Portland area because you have some good options available to you including one of the members of this site which I would make sure you include in your research because they make some great quality/value mattresses.

There is one place I’ve found called “The Mattress Lot” which seems to deal with local manufacturers and has detailed specs listed for all there mattresses (layers used, layer specifications, etc…). So, I was going to start there and was also wondering if there was any positive/negative reviews of this particular place.

I’m not familiar with them but they are certainly saying all the “right” things on their website and they seem to fit the profile of the type of retailers I would generally prefer to deal with. Their 45th Street Bedding mattresses would all be high quality and worth considering and some of their other mattresses may be as well depending on the specifics of each mattress and their ability or willingness to provide the information you would need to identify any weak links in the mattress and make meaningful comparisons with other mattresses (see this article).

I’ve added them to the Portland list because of their 45th Street Bedding mattresses and I would be interested in your comments and more specifics about the other mattresses they carry as well.
