    The real capitalist crime is that a mattress sells for such ridiculous prices that they charge thousands of dollars for a chunk of foam and some springs.

    Most mattress stores print money, and only need to make 4 sales a month to stay in business.

    They are insanely overpriced. Why doesn’t everyone just buy cheap beds from Costco and IKEA?!

      I will say that sleeping on ikea beds wreck my back. I’m not arguing that beds are over priced, but not all beds are built the same. Unfortunately I needed a pricier mattress to suit my needs.

      IKEA used to sell great mattresses, but when I had to replace my old one a few years ago they only had hard and semi-hard ones.

      And over time the mattress I ended up buying because they didn’t sell the one I wanted anymore sunk in and has formed an uncomfortable indent.
