What if I spend more than $2,500 on an item?

The only products we carry that cost more than $2,500 are King-sized Mattresses from our Black Collection.

In this case, we do have to pay the sales tax on this product but not you! We will be happy to offer you a ‘tax discount’ of 6.25% on these products.

What if I purchase multiple items that each cost $2,500 or less, but the total price is more than $2,500? 

If the price of each individual item is $2,500 or less, you can combine as many items as you want, tax-free, even if the combined items cost more than $2,500.

For example, if you purchase the following:

• Queen-sized Fairhaven Mattress: $2,499

• Queen-sized Adjustable S-Scape Base: $1,499

• Frio Mattress Protector: $149

• 2 Cooling Gel Pillows: $149 each

• TOTAL: $4,450

While the total is over the $2,500 threshold, each individual line item is less. Therefore, you will pay zero Massachusetts’ state tax!

A business has advertised that a purchase I made prior to the sales tax holiday weekend can be canceled and re-booked on the holiday.  Can I do that and avoid paying sales tax?

No. You can’t cancel your prior purchase and re-book the purchase on the sales tax holiday weekend to avoid the sales tax if you:

• Put down a deposit on,

• Prepaid for or

• Otherwise promised to pay for an eligible item prior to the sales tax holiday weekend. 

What we can do in this case, is prepare a Tax Free Estimate for you in-store or online. This estimate will hold your production place in line and will be processed the morning of Saturday, August 9.

Orders will be processed in the order they were received. This will determine your place in the production queue.

For sooner delivery, get your tax-free estimate in early!

What if I live in another state other than Massachusetts?

All out of state customer must pick up their order in store. Out of state delivery is not legal without charging sales tax.

Example: a customer who lives in Connecticut can order a mattress from us, then can receive it tax free but must pickup at on of our showrooms. If we delivery or ship out of state, then their sales tax must be collected to that state we deliver to.

What happens if I exchange or return an item once the sales tax holiday has ended?

No tax is due even if the exchange is made after the holiday. You will not be subject to the tax retroactively.
