It's because they're big money items
Cloth, springs and foam are cheap as all hell while a mattress sells for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars
Even selling one is a big profit and in cities, where people move more frequently, mattresses get fucked up easier and thus, sell even more
Makes more sense than some of the theories I saw about them being fronts for human trafficking.
Everything is a front for human trafficking if you really think about it
You could be human trafficking right now and not even know it
which would make them a perfect front for money laundering
They're kind of heavy for that.
I guess you could sell mattress deliveries with high cancellation fees, though.
Mentioned it in my last comment but they are literally the exact opposite of what you want for money laundering.
You want to be doing hundreds of small cash transactions a day with the possibility of cash tips, not have a store where your entire inventory is on a spreadsheet and you sell two of them a month through well documented credit card transactions for prices you advertised in a full page newspaper add that went to everybody in the city.
You can't just "misplace" an $1800 item very often without getting flagged.
Yeah, but that's also nearly any kind of business that deals with cash in any capacity
