Whether you're shopping for your home, your rental suite, or a guest room, these are the tips that actually matter.

1. Know Your Budget — But Don’t Get Trapped by Price Tags
Step 1: Understanding Different Mat Materials
You don’t need to spend $2,000+ to get a great night’s sleep. At Mr. Liquidator, we carry brand new mattresses starting at $139 , and full-size kings from $599. The trick is understanding what you get at each price point:
Under $500 : Great for guest rooms, kids, or short-term rentals
$500–$900 : Best value zone (most of our customers shop here)
$900+ : Premium materials like latex, cooling foam, and advanced support systems
You don’t need the most expensive bed — you need the right one for your body and sleep habits.
2. Foam, Coil, or Hybrid? What Mattress Shoppers in the Fraser Valley Need to Know
Not all mattresses are created equal — especially when you’re shopping across the Fraser Valley or Vancouver area . Yes, you can find cheap mattresses online or on marketplaces, but what are you really getting for that price?
Ask yourself:
How many coils are actually inside the bed?
How tall is the mattress ? (Some budget beds are only 6–7 inches thick!)
What types of foam or materials are being used?
The type of foam used in the mattress — memory foam, polyfoam, gel-infused, or natural latex — can dramatically change comfort and durability . But here’s the truth: feel is always number one .
That’s why people across Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, and Greater Vancouver still prefer shopping for a mattress in person. You get to lie down, feel the real support, and compare comfort types side-by-side — something no online photo can replicate.
At Mr. Liquidator , we help shoppers from all over the Fraser Valley test out:
Pocket Coil Mattresses – Great for airflow, bounce, and edge support
Memory Foam Mattresses – Soft, contouring, and motion-isolating
Hybrid Mattresses – Our most popular: coils underneath soft foam or latex for balance and comfort
No pushy sales reps. Just honest advice, clear pricing, and help finding the bed that feels right for your back and budget.

3. Don’t Get Rushed or Pressured
Here’s a little secret: most big stores put you with commission-based sales reps. That means the faster they close, the more they make. At Mr. Liquidator, we’re different. No commissions. No scripts. No time limits.
You get time, space, and honest advice. That’s one reason we were voted Chilliwack’s Favourite Mattress Store for 2025 .

💬 What Customers Tell Us All the Time
People from across Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey or even as far as Vancouver tell us the same thing: “I wish I found you guys first.” Most mattress stores feel overwhelming — too many options, too many gimmicks, and too much pressure. That’s why we’ve built something different at Mr. Liquidator. Simple choices. Real answers. No stress. That’s how mattress shopping in the Fraser Valley should be.
4. Local vs Big Box vs Online – What’s Really the Best Way to Buy a Mattress?
If you’re shopping for a mattress in Chilliwack, the Fraser Valley, or even Greater Vancouver, you’ve got three main choices — and they’re not all created equal:
Local Stores (like Mr. Liquidator):
You can try beds in person, get real advice from non-commission staff, and pick up your mattress the same day. Prices are competitive, and you support a local business. Plus, you avoid waiting weeks for shipping or dealing with returns.
Big Box Retailers:
They have flashy showrooms and name recognition, but prices are often marked up. Sales reps usually work on commission, which can lead to pressure tactics or upselling. Delivery may take longer, and stock changes frequently.
Online-Only Mattress Brands:
They offer convenience and shipping straight to your door — but you can’t test the mattress first. You’re trusting photos, specs, and return policies. Some online beds use lower-density foam or vague material descriptions to cut costs.
Our take? Try before you buy. Mattresses are too personal — and too important — to leave up to chance.
5. Why People Actually Like Shopping Here
We built this business differently:
We don’t “sell” — we solve sleep problems
We don’t upsell — we listen to budgets
We don’t chase commissions — we build relationships
That’s why our customers leave with beds they love — and refer their friends, family, and coworkers. Whether you're a first-time buyer or replacing a 15-year-old bed, we're here to help.
