You Can Negotiate Mattress Prices and People Shared Videos Where They Shared Their Strategies

My brother told me he just bought a brand-new bed last week and let me tell you, those things ain’t cheap these days.

Especially if you want to get a good one that will last for a long time.

So it’s probably a good thing to know that you CAN haggle prices when you’re out buying your next mattress.

And a couple of people have taken to TikTok recently to talk about this subject.

A woman named Fran shared a video where she simply stared at the screen but had some important information to share.

Fran’s video has a text overlay that says, “Did you know you can negotiate mattress prices?”

And she also wrote, “Almost every bed has at least a 47% margin. They say ‘this mattress is $1200,’ and you say ‘I’d like to pay $700’ and sometimes they say ‘ok.’ It takes zero effort and is thrilling.”

Here’s her video.

Another TikTok user named Taylor shared his own video where he discussed how he negotiated a lower mattress price.

Taylor said he learned about this four years ago when he and his wife were in the market for a new mattress.

He said, “We went into a Mattress Firm, we found, you know, a mattress for $3,500 bucks that we loved. I talked to the sales guy and I was like, ‘What is the best that you can do? I know that you can give me a discount.’ Got him down to, like, $1,800.”

Taylor said they went to a different location and he ended up getting a $3,500 mattress for $1,200.

Not bad, huh?

Here’s Taylor’s video.

Check out what people said on TikTok.

One person thinks Mattress Firm is used for money laundering.

And this TikTokker said you should go straight to the manufacturer when you buy a bed.

Another viewer shared the experience that their dad had with haggling for a mattress.

Now you know! So go get those deals!
