Mattress Discounters

Overpriced. Thats really what it comes down to. I came in looking for a mattress expecting that the deals which were advertised would apply here. However, apparently THIS location does not carry the models which they were running sales on. For that I would have needed to drive to a different Mattress Discounters. Honestly, unless you have money to burn… which I don’t… I cannot see buying any of their mattresses at the standard selling price. Clearance and sales make them reasonable, however as I said this location tends not to carry the items which are actually on sale.
The sales person was lets say less than enthused to have to get up from his seat and deal with us. He offered us very little insight to anything and did little more than inform us that the advertised sale we were coming in to investigate was embodied (in this store at least) entirely in one bed set off to the side and that everything else was its full and normal price.
Overall nothing I would rave about here, and nothing done that really offends me. But I would suggest looking elsewhere if you are on any form of a budget.

Just moved back to the area and needed to get a bed… sleeping on the floor for 2 weeks is the suck…
Anyway’s went into the store knowing pretty much the bed I wanted (the same one i had before i started traveling 100% for work and sold my old one). The salesman was a little… i guess pete’s word surly is the best way to describe him.
Even though I walked in knowing what I wanted I asked for advise on beds (since that is what he sells). Instead of giving me any advise on the technology of beds or sleeping patterns or even hard vs soft argument he insisted on having me spend 30 minutes of time laying down on beds and «listen to your gut». Funny enough in my blind bed testing I ended up picking the same mattress I came in to get in the first place, i felt comfortable with this as I had researched this bed but the salesman was of little help.
He was able to set up delivery within a few days which was great (again i was sleeping on the floor) and threw in a free pillow and delivery once I kept pestering him for more free stuff.
I’d like to note that the delivery people were great. I work in the city they called me in the morning to let me know they’d come between 1−5pm. I work on K st and live in AM so i asked if they could call me 15 min before they arrive and i’d ride my bike up to meet them, they said no problem and followed thru flawlessly.
I can’t speak to the prices or the negotiating abilities at this store as i purchased a tempur pedic which are price regulated, but I don’t think its out of the question.
Overall experience was fine, do your homework on different beds before you go in, try to haggle out free delivery which i thought was too high.

Located in the DC USA development outside the Columbia Heights metro (right next to Target) means that this place couldn’t be more convenient. I needed a new mattress and boxspring so I dropped in and this place didn’t dissapoint.
minuses:
1) the place is not very big (but it’s in downtown DC, so what did you expect).
2) the salesperson was a little surly
3) delivery was kinda expensive ($ 80).
Pluses:
1) delivery includes gettting rid of your old mattress and boxspring (another place wanted $ 28 to do that)
2) quick delivery (I paid on a wednesday and had the mattress by saturday
3) courteous delivery people.
Although the salesperson was a little surly, and he was trying to sell me on the most expensive thing first, when I told him what price range I was looking for ($ 400), he was able to get me what I wanted, including delivery for that price. You don’t buy a bed everyday so I don’t know if I’ll be living in DC by the time I’m ready for another one and therefore can’t say that I’ll be giving them repeat business, but I would definitely recommend this to my friends that are looking for a new mattress (and that includes you Unilocalers.
