Mattress stores are also pretty low cost to operate once they’re set up.
Low sale numbers, so no constant restocking
The inventory doesn’t really goes bad unless something goes wrong with the storage
You don’t need many employees
You can have late(and short) opening times, because who buys a mattress on a weekday morning or late at night?.
You dont need a fancy showroom, just enough space to show off the different models.
Many of them are basically just big sheds on the outskirt of town. In fact, I’ve often seen one of those manual carwashes in the same lot off the side off the road as a mattress store.
It depends on the area of course, you’ll find some real fancy ones here and there, specially in larger cities. But most towns have “cheap” mattress stores on the outskirts of town on commercial lots with other cheap construction/old buildings. And they’re often lumped in with the “I’m sure they’re money laundering” questions on social media. Since they look closed a lot of the time and don’t have much traffic.

And the profit margin is usually pretty high
Damn, mattress stores around here are all super fancy with two that make the mattresses they sell…
