King-size mattress sets routinely cross $2,000, making Mattress Firm useful for clearing signup bonus minimums on cards like the Amex Gold or Chase Sapphire Preferred. The retailer also offers Synchrony-issued financing with promotional zero-interest windows. Paying with a 2 percent flat-rate card such as the Citi Double Cash and avoiding interest charges typically produces a better net outcome.
