Why Shop Metro Mattress?

Metro has been in business for 36 years, so they have a proven track record with their customers.

Many of the salespeople and associates of Metro have worked for the company up to 20 years and during that time have taken part in ongoing training sessions so they keep their skills sharp and knowledge of the mattress industry up to date.

They claim that they will beat any competitor price you bring them by at least 10% or you will take home your mattress for free.

You can try out any and every mattress you want to without pressure to make a quick decision. What better way to decide on a mattress than trying it out in person?

They market their company as a mattress superstore serving the Upstate New York area. As a result of their size and presence in the state of NY, they can negotiate better prices from their vendors, which means they can pass along those savings to you the customer.

Metro promises next-day delivery within a 3-hour window of time and will also set up your new bed in your bedroom if you ask them to do so.

For those interested in a payment plan, Metro offers financing on all their mattresses.

Don't like the mattress after you get it home and try it out? Metro's Comfort Guarantee states that you can make a comfort exchange once to make sure you get the mattress you want.

Finally, Metro says they always put the customer first, no matter what. Their goal is to please each and every person who walks through the door and purchases a mattress from them.

A Few Miscellaneous Thoughts

Metro Mattress is called a mattress superstore in New York and the company website claims that they carry just about every national brand on the market.

In reality, they carry 6 brand names and roughly 13 different styles of mattresses total within those brand names according to the list on their site.

They also mention on their site that they offer hundreds of mattresses, but list only a few brand names.

The website has a small blurb that says they will soon be offering online sales, so people outside of New York can buy from Metro too.
