Scoring a Deal on a Tempurpedic Mattress


Folks who have bought or shopped for Tempurpedic mattresses already know... while other mattresses go on sale (up to 50%) from time to time, Tempurpedic's prices are inflexible. Other than the fabled (and probably fictional) online retailers who offer price cuts (and are then chastised by the company), the most you can usually get is a free pillow or bed frame, worth $80-100.

I was determined to score a deal for my son's mattress. Tempurpedic's website had a list of approved dealers, including specialty mattress retailers such as Sleepy's and Sunrise Mattress, furniture stores such as Raymour & Flanigan, and other retailers such as Macy's and Brookstone. Raymour & Flanigan and Macy's did not allow an online purchase.

I went with Brookstone. While Macy's and Sleepy's offered to throw in the pillows (I already had enough pillows), Brookstone was giving a free $200 gift card for purchasing a set. I was looking for a cash deal, and this was the closest I could get to cash.

Brookstone was also one of the few retailers that allowed a cash-back through Ebates (5%), Citi Thank You (6%), Chase Rewards Mall (6%) etc. However, Citi and Chase excluded Tempur-pedic purchases, but Ebates did not have any such restrictions. So I took the plunge. 

$275 in savings on a Tempur-pedic mattress set isn't bad!

    We found a great deal on a set Saturday that we could pay cash for since ... us 30% off the base and 20% off any mattress we wanted.
