Sleepers Mattresses & More

I purchased the Porter collection (bedroom suite) plus mattress and king size bed with drawers etc. In brown. This was a few years ago, from this location. Excellent price we were and are quite happy. Actually we had purchased a slightly cheaper model at the time, After paying and booking delivery something went wrong with the product provider so Sleepers upgraded us to the Porter collection for the same price. (They ate a few hundred dollars at the time). Because we had opted for the king we couldn’t fit two nightstands. We moved away, and purchased a larger home and can now fit the other nightstand. So I start looking. The Porter set is sold also by Ashly and is therefore in many furniture stores. Set price $500 for a nightstand. I thought that was a bit much but when I called these various locations including Ashly, for price, they explained it had increased in value. So I call Sleepers where I originally got the set and they are selling the nightstand for $300. I ask about what I had been told by the furniture salespeople, about the “increased value” and turns out it was the opposite. The wood is imported from Vietnam, (Set designed and built in Canada) and the 5% tariff between countries is no longer applicable. Therefore the price went down 5% to them and was passed on in their pricing. So four other companies lied to me and asked a higher price then I paid three years ago. Then lied again and told me a bedroom suite increased in value. But not Sleepers. They come across pretty basic from the exterior and location but the value and price on wood furniture is better than anywhere else I’ve been. The same furniture is sold at many higher end furniture stores without the ridiculous mark up. It’s a bit of a trip for me now, but I’ll go back. I can’t make big purchases thinking I am getting cheated out of hundreds of dollars on mark ups. Thanks for listening, hope this helps
