I went into Sleep Country's Beaches location hoping to buy a mattress in a place close to the new apartment I was moving into. The sales lady was friendly at first, but then really started laying on the pressure to buy right then.
The information she gave me was the complete opposite of information I received at other mattress stores there after, the opposite of even the Sleep Country location downtown on Yonge Street where I ended up making my purchase.
I told her I was mainly a stomach and side sleeper and asked her to recommend a mattress for me. I mentioned that I knew very little about mattresses and that I had heard firm mattresses were better for your back. She spun me a yarn about how for stomach sleepers a firm mattress is the very best, and she had one right there in the store, and she would be able to give me the sale price but only on that particular day pressuring me to order right then. Something about the who conversation felt a little forced. I took her card but walked out.
I afterwards went to Sears, Down Under, The Bay, and the Sleep Country on Yonge street. The sales reps I spoke to at each of these stores all recommended a softer mattress for my sleep position and were very surprised I had been recommended a firm mattress.
I am very happy with my Sleep Country mattress but I do not recommend purchasing from the Beaches location due to the sales pressure & poor advising.
