What you need to know about the business
of beds and mattresses....
The beds and mattresses business is very competitive
and you should always shop around for the best deals and check current ads for the latest special prices. We have always
wondered-- how can stores guarantee that they have the "best deal" on a certain mattress, and how can they say they
can give you a free mattress if you find a better deal? Well, the answer is because different mattress stores have different
"exclusive" styles and code numbers on their mattress. So if "Company X" says that they have the
best deal on "Mattress XYZ123" it is because "Company X" is the only mattress store in the world selling
"Mattress XYZ123" and it is impossible to find it elsewhere.
SAVE UP TO 70%
ON MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES
There
is a new discounter of memory foam mattresses that discounts prices up to 70% for mattresses similar to those sold with major
brand names. This company can discount because it doesn't use major brand names and it sells direct to the public over
the phone and through its website www.MemoryFoamLA.com. This company goes by the name of its website MemoryFoamLA.com and they can deliver or ship. I was amazed to
find out that memory foam mattresses can be compressed and rolled up into a large tube for shipping. Memory foam pillows
are also available.
A queen memory
foam mattress starts at $499 and a king memory foam mattress starts at $599.
This company is growing and is looking for others to open up their own stores selling these mattresses.
Call about information including how a store can be set up in your home or garage, supplies, training, inventory, etc.
Entrepreneurs can sell over the Internet or from their homes or set up a store or sell from a flea market or swap meet.

BEST BUY MATTRESS -
SLEEP CENTER IN WEST LOS ANGELES
Yes,
there really is a Best Buy Mattress and Sleep Center in West Los Angeles, and because of the "Best Buy" name I couldn't
resist checking this discounter when I found at that they opened this store at 10865 West Pico Boulevard. It's right
in the heart of the shopping district and there is convenient metered parking. Call them at (310) 470-6171. But
your best strategy is to visit this store to see their in-store inventory and deals. Floor models are sometimes discounted

BEDS ETC. IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
It's been a long time since I last visited
Beds Etc. so I don't know what their current prices or selection is. But I am presenting my original report here so
you can check them out yourself. Beds Etc. has five locations in Southern California and when you shop here you are
getting more than "Best Buys," because you are also getting a bed that will give you the best rest and best sleep.
The sales staff at Beds Etc. is factory
trained and this means that every three months factory representatives come to Beds Etc. to be sure that the sales staff
knows the latest features that are available. The factory direct showrooms of Beds Etc. have mattresses, daybeds, electric
adjustable beds with massage, and there are custom iron beds.
Check out the Beds Etc. clearance center and outlet store which is at the
intersection of 190th Street and Vermont, which is just off the 405 at the 110 Freeways. At the clearance center you'll
find all of the top brands as well as closeouts and overproduction and mattresses that have to be liquidated by factories.
Beds Etc. is family owned since 1964.
Call Beds Etc. at
(800) SLEEP 411 or check them on the web at http://www.bedsetc.com for more information. Please note that the video below was made many months ago, and we don't know if these beds are still
available and we don't know what their current prices are. I suggest that you contact the store directly.
