I want to buy a bed that's half firm and soft so it won't sink in quickly within a month or so, I don't want to feel like im laying on hard wood.  I've found a few that are what I'm looking for but the prices at a known store is too much, even if I were to try to bargain. My budget is $300-$400 and not sure if I should trust an Outlet store since theres no manufacture warranties only theirs for 1 year or maybe longer, also I've never bought from one before. Any help would be appeciated.

In a lot of states it's not against the law.  Our craiglist (Where I'm from) is full of these outfits.  Factory seconds, overstocks, scratch and dent, the list goes on.  Buyer beware is all I have to say.

If you are looking for a good night's sleep, proper sleep posture is everything. Your mattress should help you obtain the proper posture for your position.

They have outlawed it in a few states. I know Texas has a law against it.  Usually it if has a law tag then you can sell it no matter what the condition of the product.

Perhaps you should wait a few more months and try to save up as much as you can so you can afford a higher-priced mattress. A $300-400 budget is not very much, and you might just get stuck with an IKEA quality mattress.

Not all mattress outlets sell used/returns/etc., but if you do decide to purchase from a mattress outlet, just make sure the item is brand new.
