A mattress display fixture that supports a plurality of horizontally oriented mattresses in a vertically stacked arrangement on shelves, with the mattresses vertically spaced from one another, for display to customers. The shelves of the display fixture are cantilever supported, with each shelf being of sufficient size to accommodate a mattress thereon. Each shelf slopes downwardly from a front side to a rear side thereof such that the front side is disposed at a vertical height greater than the rear side. The construction of the display fixture is such that it adequately supports the mattresses, yet is of minimal construction to minimize its aesthetic intrusion on the mattresses so that the customer's focus is primarily on the mattresses and not on the display fixture.
