The salesmen were typical salesmen and were trying to push me to get something I really didn't want. That was NOT the case at Mattress Direct or with the salesperson, Anne Marie. She is great! She explained that they do not earn a commission, so she wanted me to get what I wanted, not what was most expensive. If I ever need a mattress again, I'll go back and I'll refer anyone I know to get their mattresses at Mattress Direct, specifically from Anne Marie.

We ended up saving a large amount on a mattress and it was the most pain-free experience ever! We had done our research and were feeling overwhelmed at the sheer number of mattresses out there. We stopped by Preferred Mattress and provided some info about what type mattress we were looking for. Ed replied with three or four that they had in stock. We went to Macy's before to try them out but the sales staff was too pushy. After checking out a few at Preferred Mattress we picked out one we loved. It was placed in our bedroom later that day. Pricing was insanely good. Delivery guys were great. The whole experience was super easy. Highly recommend! If you need a bed go see Ed!!!! P.S.

Had to call a third time. I now have a headache from all of this nonsense. The sales department is great, but the service dept. is as bad as it can possibly be.

I really was particularly impressed in the situation I was in to get such great service. Thank you Tyler for all the support you provided with the twists and turns this process can take.

The spot did not bother us, and we were thrilled to learn they could deliver same day ( maybe because it was on the weekend?) and would get a discount for providing 1 person to assist delivery driver with removing our old mattress and installing the new one.

Let me tell ya, a had a lot lol. They had the patience of a saint and the knowledge of one too. I had made multiple phone calls that day and they were the only ones who didn't treat me like I was wasting my time. Once they told me the prices, which were half of what I had seen all day, I had to go see it for myself. Once I got in store I spoke with them and they had me in the perfect bed within 30 minutes. There wasn't a rush, they were just that good. They actually got me in a bed I wasn't looking for and I thank them for it. Not only was it cheaper, it felt better than the original I had picked out. Then they set me up with an adjustable bed frame that, as they say, does everything but park the car. I got all of this at the same price I would've gotten a frame anywhere else. Best part, I WALKED OUT WITH MY MATTRESS THE SAME DAY!!!! Being in sales before myself, I commend them on their honesty and ability to explain products and pricing to me. Thank you thank you thank you form my wife and I. You guys are the best and we appreciate the hospitality. I've had my bed for a couple weeks now and everything is perfect. 100% recommend!!!!!!!

I was using the drain & fill kit but when I turned the water on in my bathroom sink to create the pressure to suction the water out, the pressure was too fast and was going to overflow so I turned the water pressure to medium. I couldn't tell if it was draining the bed, so I found STL online (I'm in FL), called, and got Doug. He let me know the bed would not drain at half pressure and I needed to buy a Drummond Transfer pump which I could get at Harbor Freights. I went into a panic because I needed to drain that bed as the movers were going to be at my place the next morning. STL was closing in a few minutes and I had never used the pump before. I was half in tears because where could I get help if I needed it? Doug assured me I could use the chat message link on their website even after they closed and went on to give me his personal cell number "just in case" and assured me we would get my waterbed drained that night. I hurried up, got to Harbor Freights, (Doug even recommended I check online at the HF close to me to make sure they had the pump in stock, which thank God they did!) got the pump and everything went as Doug said it would. He explained to me how to connect the pump and what to do. I did call him upon my return to let him know everything was working as it should! Talk about going the extra mile for customer service and I'm not even a customer of STL. This just tells you STL is a first-class place for ALL your waterbed needs.

The credit card was not mailed in a timely fashion and if I hadn't called I would have owed a $41 late payment and charged 34.99% on the balance of the mattress. The mattress itself is great I just am quite disappointed at their dishonesty.

I believe a 3.5 star if possible would probably be more fitting…read more The mattress value would be five stars but the value considering the price would be two stars. For the last four years, nearly every business that sells a product or service has been taking advantage of the poor economy. The current regime in power tells us that inflation is down and the economy is great. Well that only works for the people who won't think on their own. We all know it isn't great. The small amount of our cost of living increases for this year don't usually cover the increased cost of groceries in a month, much less anything else. But the worst thing is corporations now have the freedom to use the economy as an excuse to raise prices to exorbitant levels. The only choice we have is to take it or leave it. Well we've been purchasing from Verlo since the 1990s and we have a queen setup that will be due to be replaced. But I'm thinking we will put that off. There is no way to check the honesty of the constant price increases. For the first two years we heard the excuses of the virus, supply chain problems, labor problems, transportation problems, "global" nonsense issues and all other excuses that could be applied. Now, they don't even bother with excuses. They just up the prices at will. McDonalds CEO recently admitted that their prices were creeping up while nobody complained. Well now their customers are complaining and they claim they will do something about it. And I believe this tactic is commonplace now. The retailer/seller has free rein and they know it. My wife stopped on her way home from work to order a twin mattress. I asked her when she got home because we bought the exact same mattress in October of last year. The cost now is 23.8% higher than the purchase five months ago. I called Verlo to inquire but the call was answered at their other location. I explained my concern and he stated that some mattresses "had a small increase". I kept it polite as even when angry I don't believe losing one's temper proves a point. But I do not appreciate the fact that he thought I was stupid enough to think that nearly 24% is a small increase. Every step along the way of a product or service will be profitable for the supplier until the consumer purchases it. And they most likely will be ripped off with the inflated price. I know writing this won't change the ways of retailers who are only making the economy worse and taking advantage of their customers, but it certainly doesn't hurt to let them know that we are on to their underhanded and greedy ways. Thanks Verlo!

Not I. I bought a new sofa at Ikea late last year. For a small fee (under $40), it was delivered. The restaurant on the third floor was a must-visit, but now food is pricier (everywhere, not just here). Still, maybe it's worthwhile for an old-time experience of sitting sit in a department store eating a warm meal in front of those big windows with views of Midtown and other areas of the city. Room for improvement: I think the store should open a little earlier than 11 a.m. on Sundays.

I miss having an IKEA in my backyard. So when a friend asked me if I wanted to go there on a recent…read morevisit to STL, I said yes. We went at 10 AM, thinking that was when they opened. To our surprise, the opening time has changed to 11 AM. We left and came back at 11. Both of us always enjoy the displays that show you what you can do with specific amounts of square footage. The merchandising team at IKEA are so creative, they make use of every bit of space in their examples. IKEA is a huge store, but you can't get lost. All you gotta do is follow the arrows painted on the floor. They're there from start to finish. They'll lead you through; furniture, accessories, housewares, plants and more. When the arrows lead us through the frames and artwork, we got a giggle that they had copies of the Mona Lisa and Starry Night. My favorite area is the housewares, I can always find something that I need in my kitchen. However, on this visit I found a coat tree for my front foyer in the accent furniture area. It's going to be nice to have something to hand my coat on instead of throwing it on the chair. If you need assistance there's always an associate working nearby. As I shopped, I did notice the prices weren't as low as they use to be, but that is the case almost everywhere. However, it's still a good value.
