The city of Charleston, South Carolina, has lost little of its antebellum charm and entertains visitors with a healthy mix of the past and the present. You can visit historic homes and forts, take a kayaking tour or lie around on a nearby beach. The city's location along Charleston Harbor gives it a refreshing maritime atmosphere. Charleston itself has few oceanfront hotels, but some of the neighboring towns loosely connected with Charleston do, giving you the option of staying close to the water but within just a few miles of historic downtown.

You’ll be shocked at the difference. Watch this short video!All I wanted was a nice Queen for a guest room. All the regular stores wanted at least $750 for anything decent. I got it for $325 here, no haggling, and they delivered it for FREE! They’ve got my business for life!” – Rebecca M. No Phony “Specials” or “Sales”! No Sleazy Sales Tactics! No Pressure to Buy! Just 55% - 80% off retail stores EVERY DAY!!! That’s the most fitting motto this place can have. No retail price gauging, no silly “sales”, no high pressure sales tricks. Just straight forward low pricing. Retail mattress stores now charge $3000 – $7000 for mattresses that should cost less than $800. Retail stores use a professionally crafted series of tactics to make people THINK mattresses just cost a lot now and that through their store’s “special discounts” they are actually getting a good deal.
In reality, they are often paying 10 TIMES more than they should. Fortunately, someone has finally said ENOUGH! The difference between Them and Us is HUGE: We’re fanatical about our overhead. We have VERY few employees and almost NO paid advertising. And, while we have clean, safe, family friendly showrooms, they are NOT glitzy, or on expensive real estate. Our low overhead & extreme volume makes a HUGE difference. Many retail manufacturers provide private labels, price fixing and heavy advertising to make you think their mattresses should cost more. We won’t use these manufacturers. This allows us to provide you with a HIGHER quality mattress at a LOWER price. Best Price Up Front Since EVERY mattress is marked down as cheap as we can possibly sell it, and we have low overhead, tremendous volume, and don’t use inflated manufacturers, that price is MUCH lower than the regular stores. 55% – 80% Lower! “So glad my friend told me about this place.
I was about to pay $1200 for a queen at a regular store. The same mattress here was $450. No hassle, no fuss. Telling all my friends. Never paying retail again!”We discount EVERY mattress as much as possible EVERY DAY, we guarantee that price with a lifetime 200% cash back guarantee, and that price is the same EVERY minute of EVERY day for EVERYONE. So, EVERYONE saves 55% – 80% EVERY DAY, and there’s never any pressure to buy because the price never changes! Half the price of regular retail stores, no gimmicks, no tricks. Just straightforward wholesale pricing every day for everyone. Never going to a regular store again.” "We saved a TON of money... The service was great and the delivery was quick. I'll definitely recommend to my friends!" "If you are going to get a mattress get one here!!! Honest, low prices, helpful, no pressure sales person!" "Wow I got a great deal, found just what I wanted for half the price I found elsewhere.Good quality beds, store owner was great."
