Check the plastic to see that its factory heat sealed.  - No Tape

1. Check the law tag for a recent production date. (My beds are produced weekly)

2. Contact the manufacturer to see if the store is an authorized dealer.

3. A missing tag or taped up plastic is a red flag.

4. Avoid stores that sell used & new beds in the same store, Avoid bedding sold from flea markets. (mites, and bedbug complaints)

5. Many refurbished/used mattresses have the pee and sweat stains cleaned with chemicals.  I have had customers complain that those beds smelled like detergents and the smell never went away.
