But there is the assumption that bed showrooms need to be filled with inventory so that people can decide what bed they want to buy while others don't even have a bed.

I'm not communist because I think skill and effort should be rewarded. But I guess you could say I'm basic need communist in that I think society should do their best to ensure everyone has their basic needs met and rewards those supplying those basic needs beyond their own basic needs.
