Mattress Firm review

Mattress Firm is the place to go if you want to test beds before you buy. The company describes itself as America's largest mattress specialty retailer with more than 2,300 neighborhood stores in 49 states, so most shoppers can reach a showroom and try Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, Simmons, Sleepy's and other brands back to back. Its sale pages pair a 120 Night Sleep Trial with free delivery and a low price guarantee. The trial wording matters: Mattress Firm says that if the bed is not the right fit, it will pick it up and pair you with a new one, which reads as an exchange rather than a simple refund, so ask about return terms in store. Prices change with near-constant promotions, and the site blocked our price checker, so we could not verify a starting price. Compare the exact model name at Costco, Sam's Club or the brand's own site before you pay.
