What is an "S brand mattress" ? And are Macy's beds marked WAY up or are they really higher quality?
|
I see so many posts were people are refrencing an "S brand mattress". What is that? Also, does everyone agree that Macy's prices are marked up about 4 times to much? Or are they really a higher quality than the individual dealers who sell multiple brands? |

| Neiman, you do have lots of questions. "S" brands refer What were the top 4 "brands" sold in the US: Sealy, Serta, Simmons and Spring Air. They are also representative of what are often thought of a "conventional" mattresses. As to Macys and all department stores in general, they do have to use higher initial markups to off-set their promotional pricing, which is when they sell the majority of mattresses. They also usually have liberal return policies, although I have heard they are not as liberal as they used to be. This has to be factored into their pricing. Unfortunately there does need to be a profit or businesses go out of business. |

Got it, thanks. Some posts say that "all pillow tops" will wear out prematurly because of the cheap, thin poly but then i see posts that say as long as the poly is high quality they will be ok. I am still pretty confused. Are Aireloom pillow tops concidered low quality or high quality? I have verified that the 54% of latex in the bed is high quality so i HOPE the poly foam is high quality too...how do i find out for sure? |
