We moved here from TN in March. We had to go buy a mattress at Mattress Firm, sorry. Just helping keep local strip malls fully leased. ;-) And we're going to have to buy 2 more mattresses soon with our twins outgrowing their toddler beds. $$$$ :-(

If you have noticed there are a lot of obese people in the USA and 500+ lbs. (2 people) on a queen size mattress (most mattresses sold are queen) will have an effect on the lifespan of a mattress.

I absolutely love the Original Mattress Factory mattress I got a couple of months ago. Thanks to anyone who recommended them on this forum!

Except for that old "Expired Mayonnaise" store. Boy, I'm glad to be rid of that.

Guess what. In the shopping strip across from Mickey Dee's at Capital and Old Wake Forest Rd, a Mattress Firm opened recently in the old SECU branch.

The Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill in the strip was just torn down and a new building erected. Just saw the sign on the store, "Mattress Pros".

What is Raleigh coming to?

Why does this even matter?

It makes you wonder how stable an economy can be with all this ignorant investment.

No. Actually, it made me wonder why it matters.
I don't fear and loathe capitalism.

Who are you to call anything an "ignorant investment"? What do you actually know about these kinds of businesses, or any business for that matter? Do you really think that all these stores are opening up because they're projected to be unprofitable? Do you think bankers or investors are sinking money into these ventures because they have a bad business model or that the financial projections based on the history of other locations are poor?

When we bought our most recent mattress, we tried OMF, and walked out quite disappointed. Their prices were not any better than the big brands, and the quality was nowhere near as good. Honestly, they were the shoddiest construction and quality of all the mattresses we looked at. They reminded me of a $99 mattress you'd buy when you were broke and in college.
