Mattress

There are tons of threads on mattresses in this forum. Do a quick search and you can read about everyone's comments and opinions. I have since learnt that really, it depends on personal choice. As long as you feel that it's comfortable, go ahead and buy it. Also, think LONG TERM. You will be using that mattress for probably at least 10 years. Don't just buy the cheapest one (nor the most expensive one!). Spend a bit of time doing research and go try as many mattresses as you can. Then, narrow down to top 3 or 2 based on your budget and comfort level. In this way, you won't get confused because there are A LOT of mattresses out there.

I did lots of research and finally, decided on a Dunlopillo. Bought it at Furniture Mall's Dunlopillo Suite. A word of advise is: Go and check out the actual suppliers rather than the retail shops. They are usually able to throw in more freebies/give a better discount because they don't need to pay middleman prices. As such, even when Robinsons/Isetan gives XX% discount during sale, it'd probably still can't beat the prices at the suppliers themselves.

Listen to the sales people but do not believe EVERYTHING they say. Learn about the advantages and disadvantages and then make a note if those advantages are important to you. There are a lot of "frills" that come with mattresses these days so don't buy into it! Of course, sales people are going to tell you that THEIR mattress is THE BEST. You have to make the final decision smile.gif

Also, some of the suppliers' showroom have showroom-only pieces that are not sold at the retail shops.

One last point: Don't "buy" into all the marketing. Ultimately, remember that the more they spend on marketing, it just pushes up the price of the mattress you are paying. I am always surprised when I read of homeowners buying the Serta mattress - quote - because the sheep is very cute! - unquote. Oh dear, please buy a mattress because it FITS you. Not because of the sheep! Can go to any toy shop to get a toy sheep, really.

Just sharing my personal experience. Hope this is useful for anyone shopping for mattress! I am just so glad I can finally stop my research on mattresses because it was tiring. Hehe.

PS. One more thing - Don't buy a mattress because you like how it looks. Remember that you will be putting a pretty bedsheet over it!!!


Reasons of choosing:

-The 1000 threads count mattress material which gives a cooling feel even with bed sheets on. (considering for our climate turning hotter).

- WE choose more firm mattress because of long term support (good for spinal support) especailly we going to sleep it more than 10 yrs.

SOb sob.. have to forgoe the comfy feel of all those hotel used mattress ie. s##ly.... (hotel used usally we only sleep for 1to2 weeks, so wouldnt affect our spinal but for long term is other wise...)
