Since I refuse to consider myself, really “moved in” with any man prior to marriage, I also refuse to bring my mattress from my house to our apartment! So we’ll be buying a new mattress, which are more expensive than I think I realized.
So I’m comparing prices & quality from 3 different stores that sell mattresses:
1. JCPenney because my mom and I shop there for home decor when Bed, Bath & Beyond doesn’t have just what we need.
2. Raymour & Flanigan because it’s a well known furniture store.
3. Walmart because it’s well known for its low, low prices.

JC Penney
Sertapedic .. what .. ? It’s on sale, and with tax runs about $340. It’s not bad at all, I may just go ahead and buy this if I get the cash together before it goes off sale. (Hyperlink)
Spring Air Monet Luxury Firm Mattress, shown on website for $599, down from $999. About $655 with taxes. (Hyperlink)
Raymour & Flanigan
A Donovan Ltd Queen Mattress for $399, including box spring! $435 w/ tax. It’s firm, but that’s also what I have now, and I sleep fine, I’m just not sure what Josh needs in regards to his bad back. (Hyperlink)
Baldwin Hills Queen Mattress also includes a box spring. About $545 after taxes. Also firm. (Hyperlink)
Walmart
Not offered in Queen Size on the website, the 8″ Tight Top Spring Matress in a box, comes to $299.84, with NYS tax, that’s about $330. On the website, its rated highly with tons of customer reviews. (Hyperlink)
Let’s also review a brand name I recognize from Walmart. Ah, Simmons, I’ve heard of them. Offered in Queen Size (nice!) the Simmons Deep Sleep Mount Sill Mattress (it’s also a pillow top!) is $499.88, with NYS tax, $545. Not many customer reviews, so I’d really like to check further into it. (Hyperlink)
Conclusion
Other things I need to consider..
- What kind of mattress is comfortable for Josh (Bed Bath & Beyond sells Mattress Toppers – $30)
- How much credit or cash I have available (Could apply for a 2nd card, or store card)
- Shipping, or use my brother’s truck to pick up
I still haven’t spoken with my friend Alison about getting a mattress from City Mattress through her husband, maybe that could work out cheaper for us.
