The wife and I were in the market for a new mattress: the flyer in the newspaper from SLEEPYS showed Sealy posturpedics at a decent price so we went shopping on Saturday. After looking at the flyer we thought we could get a pretty good mattress for around 500 bucks. Went to the store in Shelton (not sure all the stores are like this one). The sales ladys asked us what we were looking for and how much we would like to spend (we mentioned the flyer) she took us to a mattress 3 times what we wanted to spend. When we said we didn't want to spend 1500.00 she called her manager and reduced it to 899.00. I asked where the ones on special were and was taken to a back room. What junk!!! Ended up at BETTER BEDDING; knowledgable people who let us buy what we wanted. Got a good price on a quality mattress and stayed in our budget range. LIKE I SAID BUYER BEWARE for come-on's cmorjoe

I just watched this one Good Morning America... It seemed very helpful in buying a mattress.
