Why Fly By Night Doesn’t Carry the Big National Mattress Brands

Why don’t we carry Sealy, Serta, Simmons, or Tempur-Pedic?

Simple. Because we’ve found better options.

At Fly By Night, we specialize in natural, breathable, well-built mattresses that support your sleep—and your values. Most big-name mattress brands rely on synthetic foams, fiberglass fire barriers, and chemical-heavy materials. We carry alternatives made from natural latex, organic wool, organic cotton, and breathable, non-toxic coil systems. That means no off-gassing, no sweaty sleep surfaces, and no mystery layers.

We also care about transparency. Try asking a chain store what’s actually inside that $1,999 pillowtop. You’ll probably get a sales pitch, not a clear answer. Specs change from retailer to retailer, and brand names often hide private-label tricks. With us, what you see is what you get. Take Berkeley Ergonomics, for example—you can literally unzip the cover and see every component inside.

Our staff is salaried, not commission-based, so there’s no incentive to upsell you into a $4,000 mattress that doesn’t suit your sleep style. We’ll take the time to walk you through what matters: how it feels, how it’s built, and how it performs over time. No rush. No pressure. Just smart advice.

And while we’re at it—let’s talk about price. Our mattresses often cost less than the big brands and hold up better. Why? Because we’re not funding national advertising campaigns or celebrity endorsements. We’re focused on value, not hype.

We also don’t play pricing games. You won’t see phony “50% off” tags or limited-time-only deals that cycle every week. Instead, we price honestly all year long. If there’s a real vendor-supported promotion, we’ll let you know. Otherwise, what you see is what you get—fair prices and clear information.

What you will find at Fly By Night is a curated selection of natural, ergonomic mattresses made in the U.S., designed for back, side, or combo sleepers. Many offer customizable firmness, swappable layers, and long-term support that doesn’t quit after a year.
