It is going to be about $35-45K new as Rob said -- it just depends which bed you are getting, who you are dealing with, etc.

Most of the manufacturers have "territories", so you aren't really going to be able to "barter" a lot anyway in terms of pitting one rep against another for the exact same bed.

However, you can talk to them, form a relationship, judge for yourself if you feel you are getting a straight scoop or "ripped off" and then, based on that, as well as how much you really WANT the bed they are selling -- make a decision.

Everyone has to make a living. The distributor isn't going to give it to you for their cost. But some give an awful lot for "free" in terms of their experience, willingness to help you be successful, etc. Others just sell you a bed. Depends what you want and need.

If you are just looking for lowest cost, I have 3 Matrix HP on repo - 2 360's, 1 Mattress (see my ad in the Trading Post - don't have pics of the L22 Mattress yet, but it is in very good condition like the L33 you see pictured). Save a bunch over new, but you won't get a new bed warranty. Just depends what you are trying to do.
