I showed them a listing from Amazon with a lower price, and the Tempur-pedic guy could not even tell me if the mattress I ordered from Amazon was or was not the same mattress that he was selling. He said that they do not use model numbers for their products, so he did not know what Amazon was selling. I think this is typical in the mattress industry. So, if your are trying to research mattresses, good luck.
We moved here 5 years ago and my wife decided she needed a new bed.

Went to the local mattress stores and after each visit knew less about what to buy than before we walked in. Incredible deception within the same brands.

Finally went to local Sams pulled out mattresses and laid down for few minutes on each bed and we made a decision. Delivered a week or two later with frame and box spring and has worked out well for us. Turned out putting the frame together was a piece of cake.
