A mattress is one of the few furniture purchases where comfort cannot be judged from a photograph, which is what makes the showroom worth the trip.
Durham buyers are the closest to the showroom, which makes a second in-person visit realistic before committing to a large purchase. Durham's housing runs from older bungalows and mill-village homes near downtown to newer construction closer to RTP, so ceiling heights, doorway widths, and stair turns vary widely across the city.
Capital Discount Furniture operates one 50,000-square-foot showroom at 3921 S Miami Blvd, Durham, NC 27703, and that is where Durham shoppers come to compare in person. The showroom is in Durham itself, on S Miami Blvd near RTP, a short trip from most of the city rather than a highway run. Everything below reflects how we actually operate, including the parts that limit what we can promise.
Measure First, Shop Second
Before comparing mattresses, settle a few things about the room itself. These questions decide whether a piece works, separately from whether you like it.
· how you actually sleep, on your side, back, or front
· whether an adjustable base suits the household
· how the mattress height relates to your bed frame
· whether the existing base is still sound
Because the store is in Durham, an in-stock item can often move from decision to home the same day.
What the Showroom Adds
Our mattress selection covers comfort, support, and matching the mattress to a base. In the showroom you can compare these directly:
· mattresses across firmness levels
· adjustable and standard bases
· mattress and base combinations
· pillows and protectors
· bedding
Planning the Delivery
· Orders need to be paid in full before we can put a delivery or pickup on the calendar.
· White Glove Delivery covers getting the piece into the room, assembling it, and clearing the packaging.
· Our own delivery team and trucks handle local runs, usually Monday through Saturday.
· We ask for 24 hours before any delivery change, since the route and crew are already committed.
· What delivery costs depends on where it is going and what is being moved, so the figure is quoted per order.
· Deliveries are booked for a set day with a roughly three-hour arrival window, which may vary further out of town.
Two things the crew will not do, worth knowing in advance. If a hallway, doorway, or stairwell makes maneuvering genuinely unsafe, the piece is set in the nearest suitable room and final placement is yours. Existing furniture stays where it is unless you have moved it; the crew does not take it away.
Clear the path indoors and flag anything outside that could block the truck when you schedule. Secure children and pets while the crew is working, and check the order for accuracy before they leave.
Book a pickup appointment; that is how the team makes sure everything is ready to go. Durham customers are best positioned to use appointment pickup, since the S Miami Blvd location is a local drive rather than a cross-county trip. Confirm your vehicle's dimensions, bring moving supplies, and expect to handle the loading, which is not something the team does.
Up to 60 days of free storage is available from point of sale, after which unarranged items may go to Restore.

Timing, Financing, and Warranty
On timing: many items are in stock and available for immediate or same-day delivery or pickup. Special orders vary with manufacturer availability, holidays, and custom work; the team can give a clearer estimate at or before point of sale.
On assembly: factory-direct items need minimal light assembly and arrive with instructions, hardware, and basic tools; delivery crews assemble and remove packaging.
On financing: we work with Snap, Synchrony, and Wells Fargo, with options for a range of credit types with monthly payments, subject to approval and each program's terms. Snap advertises approval decisions in seconds and lease-to-own amounts up to $5,000. We accept financing, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or cash.
On coverage: everything sold carries a manufacturer warranty, which varies by manufacturer, and an optional 5-year protection plan is available, priced by what is covered.

Answers to Common Questions
Do I have to pay in full before delivery?
Yes. All orders must be paid in full before a delivery or pickup can be scheduled. Financing counts as payment once approved, so an approved application lets you schedule right away.
Since you are local to Durham, is it worth coming twice?
Many Durham shoppers do. A first visit narrows the field and a second confirms scale and comfort against the measurements you took at home. Because you are minutes from S Miami Blvd rather than driving in from another county, the second trip costs little.
How long should I test a mattress in the showroom?
Longer than feels natural. A few minutes in your actual sleeping position tells you considerably more than sitting on the edge does. Brands carried include Tempur-Pedic, Sealy, Stearns & Foster, Brooklyn Bedding, and Helix, so comparing several in one visit is practical.
Do you carry adjustable bases?
Yes, along with standard bases and mattress-and-base combinations. Whether an adjustable base suits you is worth testing in person, particularly if two people share the bed.
Can a mattress be delivered and set up?
Yes. White Glove Delivery brings it inside and into the room with assembly and packaging removal, which is usually the practical choice for a mattress and base together.
