Sleep Number...Expensive...but worth it?

[phoenix]

Hi CrazayTown,

The mattress industry has always been a bit of a mystery to me. It’s one of those things you don’t need very often and when you do need it there is a lot of information. Companies like Mattress Discounters, Sleepy’s etc- while they may be legitimate, just come across as not very trustworthy at all. It’s also very difficult to do apples to apples comparisons.

These are usually the types of stores that I would generally avoid because in most cases they won’t be able to provide you with the information you need to make an informed choice about the quality and durability of the materials in the mattresses they sell and in most cases replace fact based information that is meant to educate you with “marketing stories” that are meant to “sell” you anything they can convince you to buy before you leave their store and look at other options.

I live just outside Washington DC in Northern Virginia. Zip code is 20152.

The better options or possibilities I’m aware of in and around the Washington, DC area (subject to the quality/value guidelines I linked in my last reply) are listed in post #2 here.
