Are mattress companies a hoax?

Question

Recently, I went to sleepys's (a mattress store). I liked a Simmons mattress. It was part of the Shakespear line. They told me they would give me an additional 20% off the product if I found it cheaper somewhere else. I can't find the "Shakespear Line" anywhere not even online and have jumped to the conclusion that it only exhists at Sleepy's. I was just wondering what other people thought of this and what their experiences were when shopping for mattresses. It seems shady.

Choose by catagory or location........category being mattress sales/vendors. You would have better luck finding local than online.

Mattress companies will offer promotions from time to time. Have you checked online for them?

Answer 3

Some Mattress lines are given different names for different retailers, it is not a hoax by them doing that. Is it illegal , no it is not, is it ethical, I don't think so. Just remember if you don't feel comfortable buying from someone , then don't/
