If you have to buy a cheaper mattress because of expenditure constraints, that may not really mean you must bear with nights of uncomfortable sleep until you get enough money for a better bed. Bulk volume discounts are often available for quality mattresses but not anyone is able to fully exploit these type of chances to save and earn some pocket money by reselling the extra units. For example, motels and hotels typically upgrade all their bedroom furniture and accessories every year or so. These beds are very lightly slept upon and typically look like new. If you are able to negotiate and buy over the entire lot, you can shave up to 90% off the original MRSP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). So are you the owner of a motel or a mattress shop? If not, what can you do with so many mattresses after you buy over the stocks?I doubt you are one, so just like me, start keeping a look out for mattress factory sales which tend to happen pretty often and you will also be able to get quality beds at wholesale prices too at around 40% or more off. Sometimes you get nice bundle deals with discounted bedding ensembles as well.

You might be able to buy slightly damaged mattress but neverthess still new and sealed factory or showroom demo units. My uncle works at a furniture house told me that many spring mattresses are often damaged despite careful handling and transportation due to the their bulkiness and heavy weights. When this happens during the route from the factory to the showrooms, sometimes you can find mattress factories or bedding shops putting up clearance sales on these damaged mattresses. Generally, we are talking about 75$ off their usual MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). If you are shopping for these slightly damaged mattresses, try them out rigorously before buying to ensure that the damage is not unacceptable issues such as mold damage, torn open seams or paddings, pocket spring coils poking out, collapsed portions of the mattress, etc. Buy only those with some minor scratches or grease stains.

Otherwise, you can try garage sales in your neighborhood or craiglist. However, not everyone can accept the idea of using used mattresses no matter how cleanly washed they are. Some people do not entertain the thoughts of having to buy second hand or refurnished or used mattresses because of the fear of getting mite bites, skin diseases, bed bugs etc from them or the previous owners. You may need to pay more for professional mattress cleaning and pest control to eradicate the possibility of bringing unwanted guests into your bedroom. Maybe the decision will be easier if you know the sellers personally and their personal hygiene and whether they take proper care of mattresses.

When you are comparing the mattresses prices you intend to buy from different sources, remember to ask for the cost of shipping and handling especially in case of any hidden service charges. Sometimes several of these little charges can add up substantially and upset an otherwise cheap deal on the mattress buy. If you drive a van or big vehicle, you can try to negotiate for a cheaper deal since you can pick up the mattress yourself.
