Updated Austin store list?

[phoenix]

Hi Zerbert,

I was wondering if the list of Austin stores has been updated. I’ve seen this one - https://forum.mattressunderground.com/t/need-help-fast - but 2 links in there are either broken or out of business, and another one is on the way out of business. 2 more links in the San Antonio section don’t work (and one redirects to another company).

The list was last updated in Sept, 2015 but some of the URL’s had changed and I also added a note about Austin Mattress closing to the wrong retailer (Optirest) in error. As of now all of the retailers and manufacturers on the list are still in business and I’ve corrected the URL’s and switched the note about Austin mattress closing to their own description.

I’m not sure if you were talking about Noah’s or Sleepworld about deliveries but I just talked to Michael at Sleepworld and he confirmed that they are also still delivering to Austin at least once every 2 weeks and more often if they have a truckload sooner.

Since I’m still not even sure what type of mattress I want other than not memory foam, I need a place where I can go in and lie down for a while and see what suits me. And even though this Serta has lasted a remarkably long time, after sleeping on a Noah’s Mfg mattress in a vacation rental, my eyes were opened to what better options there are. (Regrettably, that Houston company won’t deliver to Austin.)

There have certainly been many changes in the industry in the last 15 - 20 years and many if not most of them are for the worse … especially when it comes to the major brands (see post #3 here and post #3 here along with post #12 here and post #404 here among others on the forum that have discussed this).

Thanks for the heads up about the URL’s that weren’t working and I’m looking forward to finding out what you end up deciding … and of course any other comments or questions I can help with along the way.
