I took a cruise of Scandanavia last year on Carnival. Whatever mattress was on that bed was amazing. Don't know what it was though.

Stayed in a Hilton a few years back that had the best mattress I had ever slept on. I got back home after a few days and I called the Hilton where I stayed to find out the mattress brand....I got it and looked it up.....it costs more than my car did.

I can definitely settle for less than that.

Btw I used to work at a now-extinct big box electronics retailer back in the day. And for some reason we also sold mattresses. As you may or may not be aware, mattresses have the highest margins of nearly any big household purchase you can make. A $9k mattress probably only costs a couple hundred bucks to manufacture.

So why are we not all in the mattress business?

So why are we not all in the mattress business? Well, because it?s a low-frequency business. Someone can buy a new car, and even if that car is still in tiptop shape after 4-5 years, a good % of people will be itching to replace it with a newer model with all the latest bells and whistles. But if someone buys a mattress, most will keep it until it starts to visibly wear out- 10, 15, even 20 years.

True....I had a good friend that owned a nice furniture store. I asked him why such the markup on furniture. He said...because most of it is financed and there isn't nothing to repo...It's all beat up...broke...wore out and tore up.
