What’s the difference between outlet vs. retail mattress pricing? Well, retail stores have legal agreements with manufacturers to only go so low on their pricing, which explains why most mattress stores sell the same beds for the same prices. Mark’s Mattress Outlet has special licensing agreements that allow us to sell overstocked or freight blemished name-brand beds for up to 80% cheaper than retail stores, and we’re the only outlet stores in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee that can do it!
