Beats me....I recently had to buy a new Queen set..(previously only had 
cheap beds bought from people at school, etc) and was at first shocked by 
how much the durned things cost.  I looked around....called places...even 
went to Woodies and their 40% off.

I ended up getting a Sealy at Price Club (Pentagon City) for $300 and the 
fram for 30, which beat everything else by miles.  I am no mattress 
expert...but it's a decent Sealy...not the Super Model obviously...but 
it's a great mattress that's not going to break my back...and it was 
30-40 cheaper than what Woodies was offering even after their 40%.

I can check the exact Sealy make if someone cares....but the point is, 
it's cheaper than anything else I found and I've slept like a baby on 
it....luckily a friend has a Price Club membership!  Many people I told 
about it didn't know they even carried mattresses....so anyone in the 
market that can should check it out.
