Dear Friend,
Thanks for stopping by our website. I often meet people who are curious to learn how Mark’s Mattress Outlet got started, as well as how we’re different than other mattress stores.
Well, the honest truth is that I never set out to be in the mattress business. We started as a seasonal fireworks store that I was looking to convert somehow into a year-round business. After all, the biggest challenge with fireworks sales is you still have about ten months of rent left to pay on your building once the 4th of July season has come and gone.
Luckily, life has always had a way of bringing me in touch with the right people at just the right time. Through a friend of a friend, I ended up learning a lot about the mattress manufacturing business and began to realize that there were some clear inefficiencies across the industry – inefficiencies that were pricing name brand luxury beds out of reach for the average American household.
Today, I’m proud to say that Mark’s Mattress Outlet has grown into the go-to source for incredible prices on otherwise expensive brand name beds. When we say our prices are too low to show, I’m not joking.
We’ve negotiated exclusive contracts with several top mattress factories across the nation. These manufacturers will regularly have overstock and minorly freight-blemished inventory that is otherwise impeccable but still can’t be sold at retail prices. While this comes at a significant loss to the manufacturer, it also creates a tremendous savings opportunity that we can then pass to you. The result is an entire range of brand name mattresses which we have the exclusive rights to sell at closeout, clearance, and even liquidation price points.
Unfortunately, retailers won’t tell that they have agreements with manufacturers that mandate how low they can legally only go on their price. This is why all mattress retail stores essentially sell the same beds for the same prices, even if they change the names on you.
Your friend in the sleep business,
Mark Hisle
