People ask Nick Hancock how he competes with giant furniture stores, Mattress Firm, Ashley Furniture, and every online mattress company.

His public answer is short. They sell whatever mattresses they want. He sells whatever mattress you need. They listen to respond. He hears to resolve. He says he knows what is inside the mattress, which components matter, where companies cut corners, when you are overpaying, and when you are underbuying — and that he is comfortable telling a customer not to buy from him.
