Your Mattress Got Worse On Purpose
The world's largest mattress manufacturer just bought America's largest mattress retailer for $4 billion. The FTC voted 5-0 to block it. A federal judge agreed the merger would let the manufacturer push rivals off the retailer's showroom floor, then approved it anyway. 75% of that floor is now contractually permitted to be the manufacturer's own brands. The same company sells the same Sealy mattress under four different names at four different stores so you can't comparison shop, and writes 20-year warranties designed to void if you stain them.
