> mattresses lose so much in logistics - transportation, warehousing and shortage. Actually, 90% of mattresses, just like bricks used in buildings, or your local coca cola bottler, are made at local plants. At a certain distance the shipping costs on heavy and bulky but uncomplicated items (unlike imported autos) become so great that a closer competitor is able to dominate a market. Something e-commerce hawks never bother to think about. Then again, most of them don't know anything about retail other than "AMAZON TO THE MOON, YEAH!!" Sanity will eventually return. Probably when none of these companies manage to turn a profit within the next 10 years. :)
