This review is for All American Furniture and Mattress, not American Mattress, an online, Chicago…read morebased company. My better half went to Mattress Firm for a purported $770 sale on an extra firm mattress she desired. She soon discovered they wanted 6+ weeks for delivery and a boatload of fees and charges that soon pushed the price closer to $1,000. Not only that, they had no mattresses they advertised online in the store (at least not of her variety). Then came the sales malarkey. Sale ends in one day (nope, still going). May be an additional charge for extra firm. Blah, blah, blah. In short, they wanted her to go on blind faith that this mattress would suit her needs. I had told her about All American Furniture and Mattress before. They've been in Lakeland for just about forever and, in fact, while passing by one day I discovered a truck from a major furniture store here in town (name withheld for obvious reasons) loading mattresses in to the truck. It dawned on me that All American Furniture and Mattress was possibly making mattresses for these companies who, in return, slapped their labels on and jacked up the price 100% or more. Hmmm, that's interesting. So, she decided to pay them a visit. Bonnie was helpful and allowed her to try out various mattresses. No sales pitch and no pressure. She even tried out a few recliners. In the end, she bought both an extra firm mattress and recliner for just under $800 ($900 with delivery). Mind you, that's for both, not each. And did it take 6 weeks for delivery? Nope, about 6 days. Since they make the furniture and mattresses in the back area, there is no hoping it's in a warehouse in Tampa or Outer Mongolia. Also worth noting, delivery is handled by a separate company and they charge $99 for delivery, COD. About the only thing they don't do is pick and take away the old mattresses, but the city will do that free of charge if you can get it to the curb (Salvation Army or Lighthouse Ministries will also pick them up from your home under certain standards).

I'm torn in my review, so scoring them in the middle right now as there is still time to make…read morethings right with damages, see below for some basic bullet points below: Pricing was fair and delivery team was top notch, helpful and friendly gentlemen, two thumbs up for these guys. We purchased over $7,500.00 in furniture and paid in full with my debit card. Delivery was set for the day after our initial closing of the new house...the close date changed, so I called store to change the dates...so far all is well, new date confirmed...we get our new home soon and the new furniture the day after... Well a day or two before said delivery, I called to confirm and that's when not only did they not have correct delivery date noted but all my furniture purchased weeks ago was not planned on being delivered and no one planned to call and let us know. Had I not called I would have been left waiting. Employees at the store are overall friendly but follow through and follow up are a bit lacking in my opinion. Longer story short we had to have 3 or 4 different delivery dates to get all our things. Someone even had the nerve to state missing item doesn't make or break the set...well it does to the person whom purchased it, otherwise we wouldn't have bought it if we didn't feel it made the set! During the process and multiples deliveries 2 couches had damages, one has tears and another has a stain, we were told someone from the manufacture of the sofas would contact us...over a month later we are still waiting and no call or repairs yet made. I know it's holiday season but if your quick to take someone's money then please ensure the experience is top notch and ensure all items arrived timely and without damages or ensure you assist in repairs in more timely manners. There's lots more I could add based on many calls and conversations but don't want this to become any longer than it already is and no one will continue reading...it's is likely expected that repairs will definitely not happen once I post this review...oh and after the last call we are asked to tell people about their store...no worries I will but I will also be honest about our experiences and let them decide what's best for them. #stillwaitingforrepairstobemade

About a month later, we have NEVER SLEPT THIS GOOD!! It was the best decision buying from Santa, not only was he such a great person, he was also very informative, extremely nice and helpful but most importantly he was able to help us purchase a mattress that we now love and can't wait to get into at night. Definitely, 100% recommend this to anyone buying a mattress Jennifer & Matthew

There was little selection and the mattresses were over priced. The advertisement stated queen size mattresses started at $85. The one I was shown was priced at $1175.

If I am going to spend $1175 on a new mattress, I'll buy a top of the line sleep number adjustable mattress.
