Mattress stores are also pretty low cost to operate once they're set up.

• Low sale numbers, so no constant restocking

• The inventory doesn't really goes bad unless something goes wrong with the storage

• You don't need many employees

• You can have late(and short) opening times, because who buys a mattress on a weekday morning or late at night?.

• You dont need a fancy showroom, just enough space to show off the different models.

• Many of them are basically just big sheds on the outskirt of town. In fact, I've often seen one of those manual carwashes in the same lot off the side off the road as a mattress store.

• And the profit margin is usually pretty high
