I highly recommend you stop in here if looking to buy a new mattress. Be honest with what you want…read moreand what your needs are, and they will help. I had John helping me, and I at least know he will go out of his way to help, but I'm sure the other associates are helpful too.
My job has a program where I can buy a brand new bed through their partner catalog and split it up into 26 interest free payments that would come out of my paychecks. I needed a new bed, but I also needed some way to try the beds (or at least brands) out before buying. So, I went to Mattress Firm. I end up talking to John, and I explain that I just need to try these mattress brands and am NOT buying from this store, because I have this interest free option at no cost through work spread out over a year, and I don't want to apply for a credit card. He lets me know the store's non-credit payment options, but agrees they don't have a non-credit deal like what I get through work (no cost to start, interest free). He didn't pressure me at all, let me know all my options, and spent a good amount of time just letting me try beds similar to what I wanted to purchase through work (one of which needed to be pulled from their sale wall and put on a platform to try since it was being discontinued, but it was most similar to what I was looking for).
I came back so that my partner could try the beds out and give input on which brand to buy (elsewhere still). John had no problem pulling down the mattress Again and talking to my partner about the brands and differences in quality, all despite that I was still pretty set on buying elsewhere through my job. There was no pressure, and John didn't mind helping us out. My partner liked the bed at Mattress Firm, and we both really appreciated that John cared more about our needs and current financial pinch than about making a sale. Without the boxspring which we didn't need (not an option through the work program I was gonna buy from), the bed we were looking at was going to be a great deal. Because John was so friendly and caring about us as people, not just looking at us as a possible sale, we decided we really want to buy from John at this Mattress Firm, but we also liked knowing what we're getting and that the return policy may be better, should the mattress have any issues. My partner convinces me to apply for the interest free credit line (credit would mean no upfront cost if approved, non-credit plan is $59 to start and has interest after 3 months), got approved. John worked with us on our constraints to really cut our costs (knowing I don't want a big expense even if on credit), even letting us know about the outlet option (refurbished, though I declined, because I was set on it being brand new), helping us cut down on shipping cost, and giving us an amazing pillow deal (since new pillows were also something we needed) that was cheaper than anything else we'd find. It was a great buying experience overall. Thank you, John!
Shipping was also great. You schedule it when you buy, and if there's an opening, can happen as soon as the next day. I got a reminder call the day before and another call when the delivery was 10 minutes away. They also haul away the old mattress.
