I can't comment on the price of that specific Sealy, or on the dealer's 
"at cost" tactics (which do seem a bit questionable).  But I did want to 
put in a good word for Mattress Discounters.  Last year we looked for a 
mattress, and couldn't get any real help from dept. stores, etc.  No noe 
knew anything about them, and of course the dept. stores were 
outrageously priced anyway.  So we went to Mattress Discounters and got a 
5-10 minute talk about the different types of mattresses, no. of coils 
per inch, strength of the coils, etc.  The guy was not pushy and did not 
push any particular brand.  I know they do this to sell mattresses, but I 
would rather buy from someone who informs you than from someone who says, 
"I don't know, lay down and try it out."

We bought a Beauty Rest Original Royalty, Queen size, for $499.  Of 
course it included free bed frame, delivery, disposal of old mattress, 
etc.  We decided to buy an expensive one (expensive to us, at least) 
because my husband has had 2 back surgeries and needed a decent bed.  
We've looked around since then and never found a price comparable for 
that brand and comparable model.  For example, at Hechts the had the 
President by Beauty Rest for $650 or so, and when we tried it out it was 
terrible.

: there are 4 days before delivery.

: What do u think? Could he be cheating(with his cost price)?  
: It is a firm mattress, pillow top, good quality - 
: I am under the impression that I could have got it for around $600.
