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

Help Undecisive Newbie Pick A Costco Mattress - Mattress Comparisons - Mattress Underground
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.

June 19, 2020 - According to everything we studied, Costco will never accept a return beyond the manufacturer’s warranty. In the case of most mattresses, we are to assume this is 10 years.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Best mattress at Costco?
November 15, 2024 -
Been mattress shopping for a few weeks now and its brutal. One person gives a mattress 5 stars, best sleep ever, and the next person says its garbage and the worst mattress they've ever tried.
So rather than risk it with a super-expensive mattress, I'm going to go the Costco route. Looks like there are a lot of options from Leesa to Casper to Simply Modern to whatever else.
Out of all the options at costco, I'm wondering what the best choice is? Let's say $1600 or less...
I'm leaning toward the Leesa Legend Hybrid or Casper. Would loooove some help here! I'm so nervous about making the wrong call!

Last year we bought a Stearns Foster from Costco...we hated it, it was way too stiff for us. Sent it back after 6 weeks and got a different one...I don't remember which one...at first it was great but within 3 months it was way too soft. Sent that one back and got Costco's tempur pedic. That was 9 months ago and we still love it. Best sleep ever. Costco's return service was perfect.... same crew each time. They picked up and dropped off same day...let me take pictures for proof of pick up. It couldn't have been easier. I'm not saying you should get the same mattress we did, I'm saying if you get one you don't like the return process is easy.
