>The market for a $1,095 mattress wouldn't be caught dead shopping at CostCo, even if it's the exact same mattress.

That's quite an assumption you're making there. I buy a lot of what I need from CostCo, I also spent over $1k on a mattress and have spent further thousands on high quality bedding.

It's erroneous to conflate CostCo with cheap. They're a members only buying club which tends to buy high quality stock in huge quantities, taking advantage of the economies of scale on offer to them.

Plus Zuckerberg shops there. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/03/photo-facebook-billionaire-m...
