Memory foam mattresses are the latest in comfort for those who can't find relief for aches and pains caused by old lumpy mattresses that fail to provide needed back and neck support.

As you can imagine anything that provides relief from discomfort is sure to be in demand which unfortunately means cost is at a premium.

Seasonal sales are fairly predictable.
Many major mattress chains advertise sales in January, on Independence Day, Columbus Day, and President's Day.
If you can wait until then you are sure to pay less than full price.
Don't forget to bring in a competitor's advertised prices to see if they will match them.
Doing so will save time and gas money from having to drive all over town.
If you are in desperate need of a replacement mattress break out the pad, pen, and phone.
Make a few phone calls and ask the manager "What is the best deal you can give me for a memory foam mattress if I purchase today?" This tactic has the best results when you are making this inquiry at the end of the sales month for the store.
This could be at the beginning of the month, end of month, or somewhere in between.
You can figure this out by asking when their current sales expire.
