All: btw we bought a dunlopillo duchess mattress (king size) @ $2299. With bedframe (with storage). It's with latex and pocketed spring. Comes with 2 pillows and mattress protector.. we bought at carefour.. not sure if it's last day promotion claimed by the sales person..got 5% rebate using POSB everyday card (i.e. $100 points) and carefour got promotion. We got an induction cooker and a kettle FOC for spending 2.3k in carefour. delivery any time within 6 months time. =)
Booy > mine a/c is [email protected]
Thomas> My body aching because of the PS.. A lot of funny poses.. Nothing got to do with the fall.. haha...
Deerixp> 9 out of 10 salesperson will tell you it's the last day when you buy these furniture.. So I doubt it's really last day... Sounds like a good buy though..
Snoppy> Added you as well..
Jaq> Hope that you can get a new job soon.. cheer up..

thomas/booy: i went to s&c furniture in amk also (saw someone recommended this shop in forum). the amk boss told mi the suntec one can get..her pricing can only do local bedframe (not dunlop bedframe)..so we went suntec ordered le.. i realised with pocketed spring with LATEX especially is more expensive. King size is 1899 mattress at Suntec.. but becoz my bf wanna bed frame with storage.. so more ex..i got back problem.. so like this Duchess series.

mooooooooooorning all
looks like its a mattress weekend =P
Friday i went down to marina to try the serta beds. The good thing that we like about the serta beds is that the bedframes are cheap compared to the other mattress brands. After that we went to check out Simmons, and ended up at robinsons. They were having this promo and we ended up buying a simmons mattress.
The reason why we picked a simmons is it has better lower back support for me. I realised that the support differs for person to person. Cos both my wife and I quite lightweight, we don't seem to be able to compress the springs for some of the mattress brands, so not very comfortable on the lower back. Also, sometimes if the mattress is too soft, you probably feel the support, but its only from the pillow top. and the thicker the pillow top, the more expensive.
ok .. so back to the story =P
Sat we went looking for bedframes, and we saw the simmons mattress selling at a better price than robinsons.
The good thing is robinsons will do a full refund of deposits if the item has not been delivered. So we ended up buying at the other shop, then go robinsons to do the refund.
Yesterday we went to IFC to get our sofa too... suddenly I feel very poor liao.

thomas > the one i bought was simmons glendale.
The robinson's price was $3009. you get 5% off if you pay with the robinson's OCBC card which we don't have, so we were told to put down a $200 deposit first, then apply for the OCBC card. after that, pay the balance with the card to get the 5% off the balance.
Long story short, the final price for the robinsons one was $2868. But the one we bought at the mattress shop at eunos is $3050 w/ bedframe or $2650 w/o
bedframe is KIV until my contractor come back with the bedroom designs. I checked with him and he said it would cost around $600-900 to build a bedframe (depending on material. e.g. varnished, laminate, etc). The advantage is it will blend with the room reno.

darrel: oic...price for king or queen? agree with the rest here, Simmons and Sealy are both on the high side I've noticed after weeks and weeks of mattress hunting...next wld be Slumberland, King Koil, Dunlopillo and lastly the cheapest, Serta. Am quite inclined towards either the Slumberland's TempSmart 3600 series or the Serta Aberdeen, but the 3600 is much more expensive than Aberdeen. Both bedframes also no storage type so I may custom make one at S&C.
val: better go see a 'tie tar' soon...back probs are no joke.
to the rest of u who are still coming for tonite's meetup, I will be there from 6.30pm onwards with my wife, if u want my contact pls PM me.

thomas > actually, what we do is set a budget, then go and test. We tried easily 10 brands, and so far for simmons was the only one that i tried that had enough support on the lower back for us lightweights
actually king koil is not to bad, but the shop we went to, the customer service sucks, and I'm not too convinced by the salesperson. Also, the pillow tops that use are a latex, memory foam mix, so I don't know how warm it will get. I like taking afternoon naps, so that was quite important for me too =P
now furniture, i only have to settle the dining set. electronics will wait a bit cos dun need such a long lead time
