How to Negotiate a Mattress Price

The experience of buying a mattress often equates to that of buying a used car or sometimes worse. After all, there's no blue book listing of mattress prices. Most consumers know not to pay a bed mattress sticker price. Although beyond that, many consumers are left in the dark. Research and negotiating are two more ways buyers can use to get the best value on a bed mattress.

Instructions

- 1
  Research mattress prices both online and at reputable dealers. Compare mattress makes by their prices and features. Model names aren't always a reliable way to make comparisons. Sometimes dealers change the model names to confuse customers when shopping around.
- 2
  Narrow down the choices and begin by making an offer on one, several hundred dollars lower than the sticker price. Begin negotiations from this point.
- 3
  Remain uncertain that this particular bed mattress model is exactly what's desired. Flexibility is a must when negotiating. Silence and hesitation work in the buyers favor.
- 4
  Settle on a final price and understand all that's included. Besides buying a mattress itself consider negotiating a box spring, bed frame, delivery and removal services in place of cost. If there's a warranty, understand those terms as well.
