Reviews of Mattress Firm
Jackie O
We spend a lot of time lying around in bed, watching tv, working, playing and last but not least sleeping. A recent survey revealed that we spend about 11 hours a day in bed. Now, that’s a lot of time in bed. So buying mattress, can be an overwhelming experience with so many choices and prices. I came to Mattress Firm looking for great mattress that would fit my budget and that’s exactly what I got. I was extremely lucky to have met Tai, he was very professional and knowledgeable about Mattresses. He was exceptional in helping find a Mattress ; hybrid, foam that was comfortable and within my budget. I was extremely happy that Tai took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. The staff and Jeff at warehouse where I picked up new mattress were outstanding . Next time you are inthe market for a mattress come by and see Tai.

Normally I tend to avoid buying at larger stores because I often feel like a number and heavy pressure to buy. I chose to come to this specific Mattress Firm because I was trying to find the closest match to a mattress my husband and I slept on at a relative's house during a visit. That one had been discontinued, but Beautyrest's help line did their best to find me the closest match made currently. This store had them in stock (and was nearby my office), so I stopped in.
I worked with Mike, who was my sales person, and Frank, the manager. There was no rushing or high pressure to buy. I really wanted to take time to get a feel for the mattress and stayed on the one of interest for the better part of an hour.
Overall, I had a very good experience - which was nothing like what I imagined from previous mattress purchases from other stores in other states. We are getting delivery today, and we are very excited! Thanks, guys, for a great experience!

We have now purchased a number of beds from this store. We have been pleased every time. The staff members are always very helpful and knowledgeable, and the store is always very clean and inviting. We also have loved every mattress we've purchased.

I went to Mattress Firm looking to upgrade to a king bed since I love the mattress I got there a few years ago (that was a pleasant experience as well). Steve, the store manager, at the West Side location was friendly, quite helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the mattresses he showed me. He worked to stay in my budget and also offered me a great deal on the mattress I liked. After, I went to Denver Mattress to see what they had, the salesman was nice but the selection in my budget was limited and disappointing. I then went to the Mattress Firm on Menual and Frank, the store manager, offered me an amazing deal on a floor model mattress that was delivered today. Frank was also very helpful and patient while I weighed my options and made a decision on which mattress I wanted. The delivery guys called before hand to let me know they were on their way (which os great so o can put my dogs up). They were both friendly and professional, and were done setting up the mattresses in minutes.
I whole heartedly recommend Steve (at the Westside location), Frank (at the location on Menual) and Mattress Firm when you’re looking for a mattress.

I came to the store, and I met a wonderful man and I got it Temperpedic Bed I am cannot believe how great the services here I would recommend anyone to come here .. Frank has been so helpful, he’s sure understands customer service!!!! Linda Wells

I needed to buy my mother, a new mattress for her nursing home, and have it delivered in a timely manner. FRANK was extremely helpful and very kind, and the delivery people showed up on time and had everything set up and ready to go for me.

We were looking for a new mattress for our guest bedroom and of course we shopped around at many different mattress stores before stopping in at Mattress Firm. The customer service Frank and Linda provided made us feel confident that purchasing a mattress from Matress Firm was the RIGHT CHOICE. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and answered the million and one questions we hurled at them. We didn't feel pressured and the experience was pleasurable.
We were able to get our mattress delivered the very next day and delivery also went smooth as could be. They showed up on time and were very courteous.
What REALLY impressed me was we went back into the store after sleeping uncomfortably on the mattress for a week, and Frank reassured us that if we were unhappy he would gladly swap the mattress out for us NO PROBLEM. WOW! that's incredible customer service! We decided to keep the mattress for a little longer to see if we get used to it. I feel confident we made the right choice by purchasing from this Mattress Firm. WE WILL BE BACK TO PURCHSE FROM HERE AGAIN. Great prices and excellent customer service earned them a loyal customer.
Jonathan Johnson
Mattress Firm is the best. No need to shop other stores. We know. We shopped several other stores that sell mattresses and online and there was no comparison. Mattress Firm has a great selection and the best prices. And the customer service is fantastic. Mike provided superior customer service. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and he listens. We got exactly what we wanted at a great price. And get this, next day delivery on a Sunday! Save yourself a half day of looking around and go straight to Mattress Firm.
Bailey Cheval-Leavitt
My husband and I have bought all our mattresses at this Menaul/Carlisle Mattress Firm location (Gateway Shopping Center). Staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Delivery options are excellent. The variety of quality inventory at the store makes finding just the right mattress easy, especially because the staff is skilled at helping customers pick out a mattress that best fits that customer’s needs. Thank you Frank and Adrian for your thoughtful customer service.
Peggy Otero
We had the greatest customer service possible. We went in on Friday evening they were extremely busy yet we got acknowledged as soon as we walked in and were told someone would assist us. Every one from the manager, Frank Romero to several others employees let us know they would assist as soon as possible. We decided to check out prices at other places like furniture Row that was not as busy and we did not even get acknowledged. So we went back to mattress firm on Saturday and were assisted by Adrian Grammer. We got a great mattress and excellent customer service. Adrian was even training someone and he still provided great customer service. Thank you all and Frank thank you for being a great leader.
Marissa Ortega
Adrian was amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment he convinced us to stay local! Great service and made our search waaaay easier than expected. Delivery was fast and smooth from Jose (Pepe) and Armando! Decided I wanted a new bed yesterday and today it's here! Unbelievable.
Fela Brannen
They are so kind and helpful. Great place for all your mattress needs.
Mz. Connie
Frank is a great Manager! We were very comfortable and Frank was very patient. We're going to love our new, Tempur-Pedic mattress.💕 …
Luanna Zamora-Montanez
We had a great experience with Tai as our salesman, he was very nice and knowledgeable. He gave us such a great deal on our sons mattress we came back the following weekend and bought a new mattress for ourselves.
Thank you Tai!
Othiamba Umi
If your looking for exceptional customer service and expertise about buying a mattress, make sure to ask for Tai! With so many options out there from buying online and trying out different beds, I was initially overwhelmed with the whole process. My first walk-in experience at this location was underwhelming as I wasn't given much attention other than an initial check-in, then forgotten about after that. I decided to give the store a second try and called over the phone and was pleasantly greeted by Tai who thoughtfully answered my questions and invited me to come to the store. While I was there in person, Tai was excellent at multi-tasking, taking care of multiple customers at the same time. All in all, Tai is a great salesman. Never pushy, he definitely knows his products and truly has his customer's best interests in mind. I wasn't sure I'd walk out of there with a mattress, but with Tai's help and assurance, I am confident that I made the right purchase! Mattress Firm is lucky to have him.

We recently had a five star shopping experience with Frank Romero at the Mattress Firm on Menaul Blvd. My husband and I went in to replace our mattress and were fortunate enough to work with Frank. He was very knowledgeable and patient as we went through the process. We finally selected and purchased a new mattress but after sleeping on it for a few weeks we decided it was not for us. We called up Frank and he told us to return to the store to pick out something different. Absolutely no hassle! We found a wonderful mattress that they delivered the same day. The two men who delivered our mattress were also courteous and professional. We love our new mattress and are pleased with the fantastic service provided by Frank.
Anthony Marcus
My wife and I bought a bed at the menaul location and the service was Great. Make sure and ask for "Ty" he went above and beyond for us. We went in hoping for a bed same day and got it. Overall the price and service at the store was GREAT! Highly recommend this store and make sure to ask for Ty.
Meghan Salaz
Thank you to Steve and Ty!!! They were both absolutely amazing and beyond helpful. We came in with some issues and needing a adjustable mattress and frame. They helped us in every way possible thank you both again so so much. If anyone needs a mattress come to these guys because they are amazing!!
Molly Lindley
Best mattress shopping experience ever! I dread shopping for big items, but Tyler made this a pleasurable experience. He was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions but didn’t hover or make us feel uncomfortable. We didn’t feel pressured at any point and I really appreciate that. We bought two mattresses and another adjustable frame to fit our other mattress. Tyler was helpful and super accommodating to our schedule when it came to payments and delivery. By far the best large purchase experience we have had.
Gabriel Flores
My wife and I had a pleasant experience at this location. We were shopping around in the area and had already gone to several other mattress stores prior to this one. I don't recall the sales associates name, but I will say that he was knowledgeable and willing to work with our budget. We ended up getting a great deal on a Sunday and had free delivery the next evening! Thank you for the great service Frank Romero and company!
Madi S
Tyler, the assistant manager, helped me buy my first mattress today!! He was incredibly kind and helpful. I feel very confident in my purchase. 10/10 recommend buying from this store. Ask for Tyler!
Kyle Tumpane
We bought a mattress and frame for our child in August 2021. Tyler was very helpful and gave us a great deal as returning customers because we bought our other child's bed from this same location a few years ago.
Nick Gutierrez
Adrian made my experience very positive due to the fact he was able to resolve my issue with progressive leasing. I can’t wait to experience my new mattress tomorrow night and get the sleep I deserve. Thank you again for this wonderful experience .
Sophia Thompson
This last weekend is the first time I have ever bought a brand new mattress but it is not the first time I have went looking. The difference between my experience last weekend and my other experiences lies solely with the excellent salesmanship of Mr. Frank Romero. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with- mattress testing is...to be honest, weird. Mr. Romero asked my price range and then showed me exactly what I described as my needs and my budget. He then LEFT while I tested each mattress he showed me. It was the most relaxed mattress testing experience I have ever had and for this reason I actually made it through testing several mattresses and then picking one and bought one!!! In all of my previous shopping experiences, the weird Hawking salesmen have precluded my shopping experience. Mr. Romero made all the difference. Then he gave me amazing pricing and threw in a bunch of other extras. I cannot express enough how great he was to work with. I highly recommend the mattress firm on menaul and Carlisle as he is the manager there and will make all the difference in your mattress shopping experience. Thank you Mr. Romero!!!
Diego Matek
Worked with Tyler and other associates and Mattress Firm, and I could not have had a better experience. Not only was he helpful and knowledgeable about some of the more technical features of mattresses and bases, but he was able to price match us with a local competitor. Overall, our experience was hassle free as well pleasant.
Matthew Cork
Adrian delivered! We had a tight moving timeline and the employees made sure we had a bed for our first night in the new house. They made financing quick (great terms!).
Monique Roha
I looked around for 2 days and jumped on about 45 mattresses to try and pick out the perfect one. I only decided to go into mattress firm because of a sign spinner outside and I'm very pleased that I did! I appreciate Adrian being able to answer a lot of questions and suggesting I try a mattress I didn't even try and thats the one that sold me. Excellent price and a great labor day deal. I definitely would have walked out of the store and not made a purchase if it weren't for Adrian.
W JTRILEY
Frank, manager, is awesome. Very knowledgeable, easy to work with, honest and not pushy. Clean and Covid safe location. Got a great deal and can't be happier with my purchase. Would recommend this location. Pepe and Andy did a great job delivering a new mattress and taking the others back.
Stewart Paley
we had an incredibly great experience with Tyler here. He was highly knowledgeable and the entire place was very professional. we will be back whenever we need any mattresses. this location is our favorite as we have used a couple others too. definitely go here if you need a mattress. also they did not try to up-sell us at all and understood our needs.
Chris Spencer
Frank Romero is an excellent salesman. He was vey knowledgable and we felt no pressure. He helped us with an expensive purchase that will last 10+ years and made sure we knew what we wanted and got what we wanted. A real professional! Will go to Mattress Firm again for our next purchase if the Lord doesn't return first.
Edward Lopez
I had a wonderful experience at the Mattress Firm on Menaul and Carlisle. Salesman Tyler is very knowledgeable, he is a good listener and has superior customer relations skills.He does his very best to assist customers in choosing a mattress.

Donald Summerlin
Really positive experience at this store. Grant was a great sales person and did not use any pressure sales techniques. Very helpful and informative each time we were in the store. We ended up buying two beds from him and the delivery and setup at our home was outstanding. Recommend this local for buying new mattresses.
Sue Dyson
This is THE Store to come for excellence in Everything. The gentlemen salesmen, Grant, Nick, Emilio, Art- every single one of these men - are well-prepared to understand all problems related to mattress choosing, they are not pushy or rushed or stressed or worried. They're here for the customer. And talk about Deals! They've got 'em! I bought a Stearns and Foster here, an extremely high quality mattress, I had to trade laterally a couple times, using the Mattress Firm Happiness Guarantee, and I found the right mattress, with their help HERE at this store, and have continued to be treated as well as the first time I walked in the door.
milissa lopez
Very pleasant experience! We had just came from America Home across the street where we walked through the whole store and never was acknowledged. We passed several staff before we were about to leave finally asked if we needed help. We did not feel that's a place where we wanted to spend our money. Horrible customer service experience!! We drove across the street to Mattress Firm walked in and immediately was greeted by Tyler and all other staff in the store. He came right over and was very helpful in helping us choose a mattress for our son. Long story short we walked out with a brand new mattress paid in full and was happy about our purchase and that we came to Mattress Firm. Every employee in Mattress Firm acknowledged us and displayed EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
Junior T
So i bought a Mattress at this location from Steve about two months ago. After sleeping on it, i just wasnt happy with it. Although i gots to say Steve was very friendly and had excellent customer service skills. I then contacted Ty at the same location and explained to him the situation and he asked me to come in so he could show me better quality mattresses. In my head i was like "typical salesman" he just wants me to go in to spend more money. So i went in and it was the total opposite. Ty was really concerned about my situation and actually cared that i wasnt sleeping well. Ty then offered me a better quality mattress for the same price i paid for the first one. I was very pleased with what he did and i would recommended this place to everyone. Great prices, excellent service and i didnt have to spend 500 more dollars. Thanks to Ty and Steve. Great works guys and ill definitely be back when i need a new mattress. You guys rock!!!!!!!!
Heather Linville
Tyler took such fantastic care of my husband and I! We both have significantly different needs, as far as a mattress goes, and Tyler patiently, and knowledgeably helped us find exactly what we needed! He worked with our budget and got us a better value than we had hoped. When the mattress was delivered the gentlemen were professional and helpful. Even though we live in a basement apartment with a door that we were not sure the mattress would even fit through, the delivery team was patient and careful. We could not be any happier with everything! Thank you!
Lula Valdez
Frank and Zac of the Gateway location gave me the one of the best customer service that I have received in a long time. Frank was thorough in showing me the mattresses and ensuring that I found the mattress that I felt comfortable with and ensured Synchrony Bank got my mailing address rather than my rural address. Believe me this ended up being a harder process than we thought. However. Zac saved the day. His friendly mannerism and knowledge of computerized technology enabled me to furnish Synchrony with the address necessary for me to receive my bill. I highly recommend this store. In fact Zac and Frank impressed my sister so much, that she is seriously thinking of coming in to purchase a mattress and bed for herself
Sonya Brown
I went into the store knowing I wanted a matress more on the firm side because my soft matress wasn't as supportive as it used to be. The associate, Greg, was very helpful in showing me a range from medium to firm, according to my price range, sleeping positions, and the back pain I have sometimes. Once I found my matress, we completed a bank application and set up delivery for the next day. I was in and out within an hour and left very happy with my purchase. It was a great experience! :)
Wendy Sarracino
Decided to stop in and check out their Labor Day Sale, so we were greeted by Chase Shiplet! He was very knowledgeable and showed us what was available for me and my family. He addressed our sleep needs and made recommendations for us, we having our beds delivered next week!! Awesome service!! Thanks Chase!! You’re awesome!!
Ben Haefner
Tyler did an awesome job helping me out at 10:30am on 9/14/2020. Was very nice to talk to and knew a lot about the products. Helped me make a good decision and answered all my questions concisely and politely. He was a joy to work with.
angelic jaramillo
We went to a lot of stores and I can honestly say this store was by far the best. Tai made our experience great with the ease of shopping to amazing prices. He never once pressured us just asked us what we wanted and made it happen. Tai was an all around professional and we will highly recommend him always.
Molly Chavez
I have had my bed for seventh months now and I absolutely made the right decision with the bed and company. I originally purchased a bed from Denver Mattress for about half the price and I ended up taking it back for a full refund. All the guys at DM had to do was ask me if I wanted to look at another bed but the sales rep couldn't be bothered. Instead he just said, "We don't take mattresses back here."
I got my refund, went across the street, the guys there spent tons of time with me even though I was indecisive, were patient, and helped me find the perfect bed that was twice the price... But I don't regret a penny of it!
I'd go back again and again!
Alexis Amos
Adrian and Tai were both super helpful. They answered all my questions and helped me find a great mattress well below my budget!
Jasmine Billings
Chase and co. we’re absolutely stellar! They helped us quickly and they were so friendly! We found exactly what we needed and purchasing was simple and painless. To Chase, Frank and Tyler, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You guys are rockstars 👍 …
RoseAnn M
Mike helped me find the right mattress for a rarely used guest room. I explained my need and he took me to the very mattress my internet search had recommended. He was helpful, friendly and professional. Overall a very good experience. If you are clear about what you want, Mike can find it for you.
Deasul Henry
Needed a twin mattress for a energetic 7 year old. Didn't wanna pay an arm and a leg but wanted something that will last and endure. Tyler absolutely gave me the best price for what I was looking for. Highly recommend. Thank you!
Rosa Perez
Tai Otani was AWESOME!!!! He was very professional and very courteous! He really made our trip to mattress firm exceptional. Will highly recommend him and this store.

Karen Moya
I knew Exactly what I wanted Tyler was a huge help in directing me to a Reasonable matress that would be best.Fit our need and Budget 😆 …
E M
Overall the experience was okay the guy that helped me he did show me the sales mattress and base little disappointed because they're not honoring the the sale that is advertised for 799 sounds like they're not really interested in promoting the sale the way I look at it don't advertise it if you're not going to do it.
angela bakerbillings
Chase is on the case in this place! Come on down and get your bed! Painless and great service! Frank can’t sing, but knows what he’s doing to get things going!

Unspoken Unfound
The assistant manager and the team there were incredibly patient and helpful with our mattress purchase this weekend. We had certain limits in pricing and they worked with us to get us into the perfect bed for our price and our needs. They deserve all the praise in the world and I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Their courtesy and professionalism were above and beyond.
