Cheap Mattress in Phoenix? (Surprise: sales, coupons, hotel)

[KarmaPhx]

Does anyone know of any good mattress outlets? I am looking for a larger bed.

I have seen signs around where you can get a Queen for $199 they are old hotel beds?

Karma, there are a number of places to save money on new, good-quality sets in Phoenix! I used R&S Mattress Liquidators after researching the beds I wanted (NW Valley, Surprise outlet). I saved several hundred dollars on two queens, both of which still had the original packaging and they threw in free frames.
I wasn't a master shopper, though, missed the coupons in the yellow pages for extra discounts and free stuff, like no sales tax & free delivery.
There are 12 locations in the Valley and I would use them again (with a coupon)
Still a newby here and reading this great board for hints myself. I think it's time to nix the Rainey and find a Sunny new AZ name.

Mattresses are marked up 700%. "Cheap" are often factory direct, USA made with a 50% mark up. I have a friend who sells discount mattresses. He has a small display shop and gets them from the factory as needed following a sale. Low overhead, no sales staff on commission and direct marketing with road signs and Craigslist means he can sell with a 50% profit and do quite well. I paid $399 for a pillow top Eclipse queen mattress set made in New Jersey, box spring and very sturdy frame and he threw in a mattress cover.
