I did some serious bed shopping about 2 years ago. I found out the same bed has different names at different stores. I'm making these up, but for example, store A will carry a Sealy Dreamquest and store B will call the exact same bed a Sealy Goodnight. You have to familiarize yourself with the bed specs in order to do an apples to apples comparison.

I ended up at Costco and found what was $1500 bed at SleepCountry for about $750. However, Costco doesn't remove your old bed, so I challenged SleepCountry to their "matching" policy. When I told the salesperson about the bed at Costco, he simply brought out a book and said "Yup, you're right" and gave the bed to me for the Costco price. It was a Sealy something. Queen size.

The variances in bed prices for the same thing was amazing. I believe the same bed was on sale at Sears for closer to $2000.
