Business Locality

Business Locality - At a Glance

Business locality refers to the desire amongst consumers to purchase products that are made locally or domestically, and are sold by locally-based businesses.

When used as praise, consumers tend to mention that a company is headquartered in their area, or that the product was "made in the USA."  As a complaint, it may be noted that this product was imported from another country.

    Posted by Adeline A from Bronx, NY on December 8, 2012
    I purchased a full size Tempflow Gaia over two years ago. The first thing i noticed to my genuine surprise was that when I got into bed I wasn't dancing around trying to find that comfortable spot. Once I fully got accustomed to it, after a few nights, my shoulder ... →

    “Happy with my Englander! ”

    Posted by Patrick P from Huntsville, AL on March 16, 2011
    Hand down, the best mattress I've ever had. I wouldn't give Serta or Simmons or Sealy another dime of my hard earned money again knowing that Englander is available. The only other bed I'd consider is a Stearns and Foster or Tempurpedic. We are about to buy the exact same ... →

    I just want to say that I am very impressed and very pleased with my mattress. At first we thought the extra firm would be a little too much, but we are loving it. The quality and the craftmanship of this bed far exceeded my expectations from ordering online without ... →

    Posted by Kelly M from Mississauga, ON on November 9, 2012
    I had purchased the Infinity Plus Prestige mattress recently and I love it. I got an amazing price through a work benefit I receive from my company which otherwise wouldn't convince me to buy an expensive memory foam mattress. I highly recommend switching to memory foam for anyone who is ... →

    “Don't buy "box springs"”

    Posted by Linda S from Woodland Hills, CA on September 2, 2011
    If you have a 3/4 antique bed and need a new mattress (as I did), you have very few options, because it must be custom made to your specifications. This translates into "non-refundable" -- which would be ok IF the actual delivered items ARE the size you specify. Mine weren't. ... →

    “If you like being accosted...”

    Posted by Mag P from Terre Haute, IN on August 29, 2011
    Be careful going into this store. The wife of the owner/sales woman apparently runs the store as a dictatorship and treats customers as captives there for her pleasure. After explaining that we would just like to browse, she followed us around giving us the entire life history of every piece ... →

    Posted by Michele H from Clinton, CT on September 13, 2010
    We purchased a mattress here 5 years ago, after 1 year it needed to be replaced. since they had nothing comparable in stock, we had to spend more $$$, even though the mattress was supposed to be waranteed for 10 years! After another 18 months, the same thing happened and, ... →

    I had been to five or six mattress stores between Marysville and Everett and really wasn't sure about where to take the $$ plunge and actually go through with the purchase of my first new mattress. The couple that owned this store were very informative and demonstrated transparency as they ... →

    “Mattress Source gave me sweet dreams”

    Posted by Tim W from Columbia, SC on December 31, 2010
    I came in the store, after only doing a small amount of browsing elsewhere, and was completely opposed to Tempurpedics. The manager of the store was so knowledgeable and helpful he completely changed my mind about them. He showed me other options (pillow top, latex, and memory foam) while informing ... →

    We wandered into the store on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to inquire about "best price" on a Tempur-Pedic. We worked with Jay and were given a great price and said we would be in the next day. When we came in on Sunday, Ian relayed Jay's message that ONLY cash ... →

    Posted by Dag L from Penfield, NY on April 29, 2012
    I got a Flobed 6 weeks ago and love it. It was the replacement for a Serta pillowtop that was horrible. The Serta started great but within 6 months was really showing the wear - big depressions where we slept. $1100 on a mattress that was worthless in under 4 ... →
