Costco does sell lower end mattresses mostly, but its also true that the price they charge for what you are getting is quite fair. Take the Avocado Organic as an example. Its $1200 and a nicer mattress than the Avocado Eco which retails for $1300. The Costco Tempur supreme which is supposed to be comparable to the entry line Tempur Adapt retails for $1900 in queen, while the Tempur Adapt is $2200 in Queen. Then probably the most egregious is the Costco Leesa Legend which is basically the same mattress as the one from Leesa's website, except it retails for $1050 vs $2600. Now sure the Leesa is intended to always be on sale basically, but still that just drops it down to around $2k usually. What really sells mattresses at Costco though is their return policy. Nobody offers a no hassle return like they do. If 5 years from now you dont like your mattress anymore they arnt going to send people out to measure and look for stains and other reasons to deny you a warranty, they arnt going to charge you return fees and such while only allowing store credit forcing you to get another mattress through them. Just a no hassle full cash refund whenever basically. Answer from Encouragedissent on reddit.com

November 29, 2024 - Hi, so I definitely need a new mattress and I’ve been in analysis paralysis about it. Currently I sleep on an old innerspring mattress. I’ve read so many horror stories about mattress stores denying returns that I’ve decided just to buy from Costco because of their return policy.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Why are Costco mattresses so cheap?
January 19, 2025 -
Title. I’ve been shopping online at Costco narrowing down some mattresses and decided I need to go into a brick and mortar store to see what type / firmness I should go for. I go into sleep country and most of the king size mattresses run 3-4K. At Costco I’m hard pressed to find one for more than 2k, in fact most hover around $1200. So what gives? They are all the same brands, although I can’t seem to match any of the Costco models to ones I see at sleepcountry or Leon’s etc. Do the major brands just sell a proprietary mattress at a discount just for Costco and is the quality lesser? Thanks!

A lot of speculation in this thread. The real answer is that Costco sells durable goods at grocery margins. They then rely on volume and the membership fees for their profits. For example, a typical mattress store would keep 50-70% of the retail price as their profit margin. Costco keeps 15%. Manufacturers want the Costco business so they go along with it despite it pissing off all of the other retailers. That’s why there are usually subtle differences on Costco models, to give a little bit less ability to cross shop. Also why they sometimes get special models just for them, like the TP ones. There are some exceptions to this, like apple goods (which are the same price everywhere) but it is largely true across everything Costco sells.
