Online may not kill it, but it could certainly impact it. Maybe not imminently, but it is possible. 20 years ago, who would have thought buying TVs online would be popular?Quote:
People want to lay on it, touch it and feel it before they buy it. I disagree with online killing the middleman in this industry.

Freakonomics did a podcast on it:

What if it was half the price, and you could return it if you didn't like it?ebdb_bnb said:
I'm sorry, but you would be a damn fool to buy a mattress without ever laying on it.

You would think the same thing with eyeglasses and shoes, who would ever buy those online? But look at how successful Warby Parker and Zappos have become. Not saying there's not a place for Lenscrafters or Payless, but I would rather be involved with the former.ebdb_bnb said:

Apparently no one wants to get rich quick or quit their day job and be their own boss!
