I can sleep most anywhere, except I found I can't sleep in a car if my wife is driving. Too terrifying!

It looks like several of the mattress company's bases are all made by Reverie or a couple other manufacturers, and they seem to be a lot less on Amazon. Are corners cut on those models, or do the mattress manufacturers mark them up?
A few commodities like mattresses (like most furniture, rugs, etc.) and jewelry have a huge mark up. Not buying a mattress during one of the major sales is a mistake. Dept stores seldom negotiate. I have negotiated jewelry though at a dept store because I called them on the mark up vs. "sales" prices. Since all these sales folks are on commission it is wise to know the enemy.
