Question:

Does Sears sell good beds?

Just wondering what the quality of their beds are, I have a sears card from a purchase before and maybe get some % off a bed that is worth buying.

Answer:

Sears sells beds made by different manufacturers like Serta, Sealy, Corsicanna and Tempurpedic. The beds will be more expensive at Sears due to their overhead costs. Sam's Club sells Serta mattresses and box springs and are a whole lot cheaper than Sears. Compare prices by calling both stores and asking the cost of the bedding. I bought my Queen size mattress and box springs from Sam's Club for $700. They had a pillowtop on the mattress and I am very pleased with my purchase. Mattress Outlet is a great place to get an estimate.
Beds are made in a variety of types of construction. You need to decide whether you want a box spring and coil spring mattress or a water bed, floatation bed, foam or air, etc. If you are looking to compare the traditional box spring and mattress, you will need to take a look at the 'cutaway' that every store should have on display. That will tell you the gauge of the steel that has been used in the coils, the number of layers of foam, sisal, etc. Lie on the sample beds and find the one that is the most comfortable for the way that you sleep. If you sleep on your stomach, then wear comfortable clothes and go to the store and lie on the bed in that position. You will soon decide if it is too hard or too soft. Once you have decided, you can compare beds at several stores. Compare the gauge and the density of the foam. Is it fire retardant? Do you really need a pillowtop when it already has a layer of foam in the regular part of the mattress? It is impossible to tell by looking at it which is the best quality. Listen to the sales people tell you about the construction. If the store refuses to show you the cutaway, definitely don't buy there. You cannot compare by brand names as all brand names will make a variety of qualities of beds for their retailers. They will also make the same bed with different covers and different names but the inside will be identical. Good luck and good sleeping
