It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show where it's all about you.

I want you to learn ideas to me so you can save more and spend less and don't let anyone

ever rip you off.

It's being a rip-offs and just a few minutes normally you would hear the Clark-ragious

moment.

Today I got a sizzling deal actually more than one sizzling deal coming your way and coming

up yet later we're going to talk about a way you can visit the doctor at a cheap price

without actually going to the doctor and do it on a time schedule that fits your life.

That's all coming up for you later in this edition of the Clark Howard Show.

Talk right now about an industry going through a complete transformation and it's because

of new technology and the manufacture of beds and the internet in combo have blown apart

the traditional mattress industry.

The biggest player in the U.S. is rumored to be filing for bankruptcy at most any moment

mattress firm that operates under I think multiple names in the United States and without

doubt the number of mattress stores around the country is going to greatly reduce.

The reason is simple.

Consumers are happier buying a mattress site unseen.

Really counterintuitive.

Who would ever imagine that was something as important is where you spend like a third

of your life lying on that mattress you have that you would be willing to buy it right

over your phone.

But in huge numbers that's what people are doing.
