Dormez-Vous the Mattress Experts

My visit to @DormezVous didn’t start at this location.
I haven’t bought many new mattresses in my lifetime, but who has? So before heading out the door to buy my son a new mattress for his homecoming, I did some research online. Apparently, one should never pay sticker price. Not even SALES sticker price! Who knew? So, heading to Dormez-​Vous, I already had a maximum price in mind for everything I needed. I even had a back-​up plan that involved Sears if worse came to worse.
So my first stop was the Dormez-​Vous in Westmount, where Chris was «sort of» eager to serve me a bunch of hoopla. I gave him my lower limit budget (’tis the way of negotiations, no?). Chris showed me the cheapest mattress in da house and gave me a quote higher than even the cheapest mattress in their flyer. Hmmm. I tried a little more of my negotiating powers on him to no avail, Chris was unmovable, even as I walked out the door.
I’m not easily dissuaded so I hopped on the 24 and headed straight to a second Dormez-​Vous location, that’s where Tom was. I gave Tom the same lower end budget and he showed me same mattress that Chris did, but quoted me $ 100 less. That’s a good start, it was a little above my lower budget, but hadn’t reached my ultimate level yet.
I asked about adding in a pillow, that had been part of the plan (hehe) and without blinking, Mr. Tom quoted the entire caboodle at my exact budget! HAHA!
Now, I went in with a fair price in my mind, so I didn’t get a SUPER GREAT FANTASTIC ONCE IN A LIFETIME STEAL… but what I did get from Tom was great service, excellent salesmanship, and even if I didn’t walk away the best ever deal, I did walk away feeling like I got a deal!
I almost felt like going back to the Westmount store in «Pretty Woman» fashion with my new Aquagel pillow (get one, they’re awesome for side sleepers!) and exclaiming «Big Mistake!»
