Tempur-Pedic Flagship Store
5.0★★★★★536 Google reviews
The Tempur-Pedic Flagship Store in Lincoln Park is a single-brand showroom offering one-on-one sleep consultations and a 90-night home trial, rather than a multi-brand comparison shop.

What people praise
- Consultant Don named in nearly every review for patience and product knowledge
- One-on-one consultations rather than a busy showroom floor
- Reviewers highlight the 90-night trial as a genuine no-pressure safety net

Claim this spot › How we rank these
Rating is the live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers actually left feedback, weighed against others in the same city. Confidence combines the two, so a high rating on a small sample scores lower than the same rating backed by hundreds of reviews. Recency checks how current that feedback is. No business can pay to change these numbers.
How much does a mattress cost in Chicago? (2026)
Mattress prices vary enormously by brand, size, and material, and none of the stores on this page publish a single fixed price we can verify site-wide. Budget queen sets sit at the low end and premium memory-foam or hybrid models run several times that, so it is worth comparing the same size across two or three of these stores before buying.
Serving all of Chicago
These showrooms span the South Loop, Irving Park, Lincoln Park, and River North, covering most of the city without a long drive from downtown or the North Side. If you’re searching for a mattress store near me in Chicago, these neighborhoods account for most of the city’s dedicated mattress shopping.
What to ask before you buy a mattress
- What’s the return or exchange policy if the mattress doesn’t work out at home?
- Is there a home sleep trial, and how long does it run?
- Does the price include delivery, and is white-glove setup an option?
- Is the exact model in stock, or will it need to be special ordered?
- What’s the warranty length and what does it actually cover?
- Do you price-match online listings for the same model?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How did you choose these mattress stores?
We pulled real Google Business data for mattress stores in Chicago and ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently customers were still leaving feedback.
How often is this updated?
This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.
Should I buy a mattress online or try it in a Chicago showroom first?
Several of the stores on this page exist specifically to let you test online-only brands in person before buying, which several reviewers say helped them confirm a choice they’d been considering from home.
Do these stores offer sleep trials?
Some do. Reviewers on this page mention a 90-night home trial at one of the specialty showrooms, though policies vary by store and brand, so confirm before you buy.
The bottom line
Bob’s Discount Furniture is the safe default if you’re furnishing a whole bedroom on a budget, with the deepest review history on this page. If you’ve already narrowed it to a specific online-only brand or Tempur-Pedic, SleePare, Sandman Sleep, or the Tempur-Pedic Flagship Store will get you a more focused, one-on-one visit.
