Around here, the stores that accept mattress returns do not re-sell them as "new". Used mattresses are clearly labelled (and priced!) as such.

So it's easy to stick with new/unused if one is paranoid, yet still purchase from a place with good return policies. Costco doesn't resell any returns of anything around here.
