Tempurpedic is selling mattresses for thousands of dollars, latex prices are still high.

 

Inspite of recession and deflation, why are prices of these mattreses still so high?

 

what is going on?

 

So many people are out of jobs and can't afford thing sthey used to be able to do, and still these mattress companies have not lowered their prices?

 

WHY?

real rubber is pretty expensive.  one thing I don't understand is why synthetic latex is so expensive...actually I don't imagine it is, just that people are willing to pay for "latex" regardless of what its made from and its a big cash cow for manufacturers
