I wonder if anybody has had any experience > buying from them and what their experience was like? I bought my current mattress and box spring from Woodwards in Edmonton in 1986. Its a Sealy Posturepedic and I think that it cost me about $700. I've never had a single problem with it. My motto is to stick with the major brand names, don't look for bargain basement prices from manufactures I've never heard of and finally, expect to pay full or near full price for quality merchandise. The old adage that you get what you pay for is still true today.
