<p>any recommendations for good store to purchase mattress?for son moving off campus .I looked online not familiar with any of the stores. thanks!</p>
<p>We bought a comfortable mattress at Sam’s Club in Tallahassee. You could also order a mattress from [Overstock.com:</a> Online Shopping - Bedding, Furniture, Electronics, Jewelry, Clothing & more](<a href=“http://www.overstock.com%5DOverstock.com:”>http://www.overstock.com) and shipping is free for new customers.</p>
<p>cybermom to the rescue - again! Thx</p>
<p>I wish I could help but we have not bought a mattress in Tally yet. I am a fan of Mattress Giant but pulled my post when I found no stores in Tallahassee. Good luck.</p>
<p>I’m surprised such a city wouldn’t be loaded with these type of stores. With all the schools there and people moving in and out so often…</p>
<p>I have purchased mattresses at Sams Club before and they were quite decent and at a good price! 
I have also purchased things through Overstock.com and was happy with the quality of my purchases. Either way would be a safe bet. But with Sams at least you can touch it before you purchase! :)</p>
<p>This is the plan that worked for us:
My son selected and I paid for a mattress at our hometown Sears store, then with reciept in hand we quite simply (and quickly) collected the mattress at the Sears store in his college town.</p>
<p>Thanks for replies. HYD - i did wind up using SEARS. We are from NY. I was able to buy it online and am having it delivered during the time we are spending two days in Tally. I guess since it is long distance I did feel SEARS would offer security in case of problems. Perhaps I did pay a bit more, although they are having 50% sale.</p>
<p>Mattresses? Store delivery?</p>
<p>College means:
1.) Leaving home (425 miles away) a day or two before the scheduled start of classes.
2.) Arriving at 2 in the morning and sleeping in your car because your land lord is asleep or the leasing office is closed. This after suffering a blowout at midnight in the middle of nowhere, and having to unload the entire trunk on the side of I-75 by moonlight just to reach the spare. Didn’t realize big rigs and cars in general were so loud when passing by at 80 mph just a scant few meters away…
3.) Rolling over to Target or Walmart the next day to buy a $150 futon and then spending the next 30 minutes unboxing and disassembling it right in the parking lot so that you can somehow squeeze it into your compact car. ;)</p>
<p>At least, that’s how it went for me…maybe I had it all wrong. Still wouldn’t trade any of it (or the associated memories) for the world.</p>
