Mattress Markup

I’m curious, when I go to purchase a mattress are prices pretty firm + 5% Mattress Underground discount or can you haggle even further?

I’m not sure how mattress pricing works and if it’s common etiquette to haggle on bed prices, even when there’s already a 5% discount.

Thanks.

Hi kenzo,

Most of the better retailers or manufacturers have fixed pricing that doesn’t need “fake sales” or “negotiating” to be good value every day of the year. They may occasionally have “real” smaller sales with smaller discounts for legitimate reasons but these are much less common. Of course it never hurts to ask … but in most cases the answer will be that they are already running on smaller margins and giving you their “best” prices that are better value than the competition and are certainly better value than the “huge sales” that you see or any “negotiated” prices you are able to obtain in the mainstream industry.

You can read more about “fake sales” in post #5 here and about negotiating in post #6 here.
