Ron Trzcinski runs the Original Mattress Company, a Cleveland based establishment with about 11 factories and 100 mattress stores spread across the Midwest. His experience in the business is a good 40 years, nearly, and this includes some 18 years with Sealy Corp. Despite the changes in the industry, Trzcinski still applies the most basic concepts in mattress selling and is regarded highly in the business for his expertise.

Trzcinski wanted to demystify the process of buying a bed. He said he didn’t like the practice of manufacturers selling basically the same product with different names and fabrics through different retailers, making it hard for consumers to compare. Nor did he like high-pressure sales tactics or the fake urgency of some retailers’ markdowns.

Read this interesting story on mattress shopping from the Arizona Daily Star. It has some great buying tips and consumer information.

Norma and Bob Gentry really hated shopping for a new mattress. After finishing a bedroom addition to their San Clemente home, the Tucson couple decided they couldn’t bear to move their ancient king-size set into the new digs. So off they went, trudging to department stores, specialty centers, furniture stores and everywhere else they could think of. “Everything we looked at was at least $1,500,” Norma Gentry recalls. “We didn’t really have it, and we didn’t want to spend $2,000 on a bed.” Finally, late last year, they found sleep nirvana — at Costco. They settled on an approximately $850 set from Sealy Posturepedic, knocked the price down with a coupon, then added a memory-foam mattress topper.
