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

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.

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!

So my husband and I need to get a new mattress and are thinking about Costco for it. We bought a brand new mattress at a random mattress store back in 2017 right after we got married. In less then 7 months it had formed huge divots from my husbands pressure points down the bed. You couldn’t find anywhere to lie comfortably. We tried taking it back to the random mattress retailer after 7 months and they said “nope, so sad. Would you like to buy a NEW one?” So our supposedly first big purchase after getting married turned into a huge waste of $2k bucks.

Since then we have literally bought second hand mattresses when needed at a fraction of the cost. Things were great with that until my dear mother came to visit. You’d think she slept in an Iron Maiden. She then tears the sheets off and saw it had a goodwill tag (the horror). I can’t describe the mix of anger, bewilderment, disgust, et al that came from that woman’s mouth. (I hurried and grabbed the sheets before she saw they were from IKEA just in case that was an issue!)

That brings me to my question for everyone. Anyone acquire a mattress from our store and savior, Costco? I’d like to get some different opinions but let’s be real. The ONLY thing I care about is the return policy. The 2017 divot debacle cannot happen again! Id like to know that if anything happens all I have to do is take it back like that 2009 sofa set, those too small pants and anything from Amylu (sorry guys. Just ew) Thanks for listening! And sorry for any grammatical boo-boos, I’m on mobile

Edit: I really want to thank everyone who commented on their experiences. I have a great idea on what we are going to pick. I’ll update the he post in the future once we decide!!

Hey folks, I'm hoping for some advice on getting a mattress from Costco. I want a queen size bed under $1,000. I'm 6' and a side sleeper, my girlfriend is 5'6 and a side/back sleeper. I suffer from chronic muscle pain so getting a good mattress has been a challenge for me. I've tried the following mattresses so far:

  1. [Bear Original](https://www.bearmattress.com/products/bearmattress) - too soft and/or not supportive enough (not sure if this is the same thing).

  2. [Novaform 14" Comfort Grande Plus Gel Memory Foam Mattress Medium](https://novaformcomfort.com/products/comfortgrande%E2%84%A2-plus-14-gel-memory-foam-mattress-queen) - this caused back pain for my girlfriend. Otherwise it was decent enough.

  3. [Casper Select 12" Memory Foam Medium-Firm Mattress](https://casper.com/learn/costco/) - this mattress is so hot and still causes back pain for my girlfriend.

  4. [Sealy Silver Chill Firm](https://www.mattressfirm.com/hybrid-premium-silver-chill-14-firm-mattress/5637148736.p) - I tried this mattress in person, and it's the only experience I've had where I could feel my muscles relax when I lay down on it. I think the ratio of comfort layer to supportive layers is just right.

So those are my main priorities: good back support and cool - preferably medium to medium firmness. I've read through the FAQ to try and understand foam qualities but I'm struggling to find the details on densities and such for Costco's offerings (maybe there's a site I don't know about). In terms of pricing, I'd like to spend as little as possible to get something decent - yes, I know this is fantasy, but I don't need a mattress that will last me ten years. I would appreciate any and all advice, thank you!

Hi All! What’s your favorite firm mattress for queen size platform bed? I would like to stay under $1000.

My current mattress is a $500 memory foam bought on Amazon and it worked great for 5 years, but it started to sag.

What about Costco choices:

Thank you for the advice!

I'm moving out in the next 3 months and most of my money is going to that process. I can't afford to drop much more than a thousand. I can barely even afford that. I can't sleep on the floor when I first move out(or maybe I should what do y'all think?) so what's something cheap that won't break my back

My big issue is that I'm fat and I don't plan on that changing. Ive read around that I should be looking for latex or inner coils or hybrids of the 2. But yeah I can't afford it

What's the next best option for someone my weight? Should I diy my own bed I'm also deathly scared of fiberglass so it's made my search even harder

Edit: my price range while I save for something better is hopefully less than $700 and I'm a stomach sleeper. I never thought to look at FB market place but how do I tell if these companies are legit

Edit I think I'm rlly liking the prices of the Bear Original or Today Mattress by Engineerered sleep

Talk me out of which one I shouldn't get

It looks like the $1,800 Tempur-Pedic and $1,400 Avocado are highly rated as top-tier options in this sub—can anyone confirm? I’m thinking about going all-in on the best since I’m returning my Sealy Carver Firm after a few years of sagging and back pain.

Update: Ordered the Novaform Legacy Premier since it seems firmer than the Leesa Legend. From what I’ve gathered, the Avocado is the better choice if I want something less firm compared to the Leesa Legend. Novaform was on sale, while Avocado wasn’t, so I figured I’d try Novaform for now. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll wait for Avocado to go on sale and return/exchange.

Thanks, everyone!

r/Mattress on Reddit: I am completely lost when it comes to researching mattresses. This is so difficult.
February 24, 2021 -

I am a 150 lb. male that usually sleeps alone with light back problems.

There seems to be so much conflicting information when it comes to purchasing a quality mattress. I have tried to do my due diligence on researching what I tried out at the mattress store, but there is always a mix of positive and negative reviews online.

I am a side sleeper that just wants a quality mattress that will last for a long time. I would prefer to spend around 1500, but I can go as high as 3000 if it is deemed necessary. I just want to know what brands to look out for. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Tempur-Pedic I tried out. I really liked the Sealy silver chill plush hybrid, and the Beautyrest plush hybrid. Upon further research, there were a lot of bad reviews about the longevity of each of these. I kind of enjoyed the Purple #2 mattress, but the reviews also scared me.

If possible, I just want to know what brands to look for and what companies are great to support. I live in Denver, CO. Mattress Firm was off-putting with the high pressure sales tactics, but I really liked the people at Denver Mattress.

Thank you all so much. This is causing me so much anxiety.
