Hi b2b5, for better back support. Get something more firm. Both brands have beds that are firmer. Yes, it is definitely her sales tactic.
For me, its a matter of preferences. I prefer sealy feel than the pocketted spring feel. Majority of the brands with the exception of SeaHorse which uses form, all use pocketed spring technology.

hi icemilo, maybe u look out for any sales coming up. robinson normally got sales on sealy from time to time. i would recommend u to robinson at raffles city (look for marilyn) or centrepoint (I-Peng) if u want really good service. maybe u try asking them if any sales coming up. u nvr know lor.

was at robinsons yestery. in fact the manchester is cheaper than royal monarch. imm's price is >3K for the royal monarch, but the robinsons price for manchester is about $2600 (if you're a robinsons cardmember). they're both 14" tho, so a bit scarey when it comes to buying bedsheets
was told imm and robinsons carry some similar models but different name. i think crown jewel selling at imm for 6K+
hmm, wondering if a firm mattress is better for pregnancy, would a latex plush top be unwise? i prefer pillow top cos firmer and don't really sink in, but was told will have depression after some time while latex will hold its shape

Hi Milo,
Didn't know you were interested in Sealy also. Me and hubby are lemming very long already, still undecided to which model to get, either Dynasty or Majesty.
If you buy from IMM, get this lady called Giovann to serve you, she is very good. And you can ask any of them to match the price another dealer offer.
Taka offered me a 10% + 10% discount for Crown Jewel, Giovann says she will match it too.
Try to get more freebies from them!

Hi Demi,
we haven't buy the bed either. Still have time to shop around. Who knows, there might be a sale after CNY.
Thanks for the tips. Will look for Giovann. Crown Jewel is truly beyond our budget.
Hi Cassie, I have the exact same problem. The platform bedframe is simply too huge for my masterbedroom. But its really nice. The only way would be to have a feature sliding door to my room instead of the normal swing door. But that will cost me even more money on the renovation.

Hi Racherlle,
my MBR is pretty small loh. One wall is behind a wall which the previous owner places his wardrobe. Can't use that wall cos its bad for fengshui to not see the entrance from the bed.
We are only left one wall possible to use.
Will use that wall behind the wall as the study area instead.

Hi KeRo,
that isn't my biggest problems. My house is on the 2nd floor. HDB has idiotic water pipes servicing to 2nd,3rd and 4th floor all running thr my kitchen. Somehow, the stupid waste piping is not with the water pipes but almost a meter apart. After my contractors tear down the cabinets, I'm in for more surprise. The PUB gas piping is in the centre of another wall. What an idiotic design and the gas meter is also located beside the pipe and cannot be relocated. I want to strangle whoever the IDIOT who design the piping of my HDB flat.
He must be an idiot who wears his singlet outside and underwear over his head and has should pads on his Tshirt and wear misfit socks.

Hi pple,
finally got the mattress that we like so much
Went down to Taka to see. Their pricing not that good leh.
thanks for the recommendations, gals. Went back to IMM to look for Giovann. We got a queen size instead since the bedroom is so small anyway. It would be ridiculous with a King size and its almost $1k cheaper
Can't wait for my house to be ready and can sleep on my new bed! YEAH!

HI milo,
I understand your prob...i went to my neighbour's place and saw many big pipes running thru the kitchen and toilets. I was surprised...i can imagine more headaches trying to find ways to hide them....
racherlle,
You were lucky tat you could hack the other bedroom wall. I can't cos if I hack my connecting wall, I would be placing my bed under a stupid beam which fengshui strongly advise against cos it is like something heavy above us...causing more headaches....well, juz keep my hubby and myself "closer"....hehe....

hi, i went to check backcare as well.
hmm, they have few series on that as well. I am deciding between backcare and tribute. aiya, went to the one at great world city. Didn;t have the time to check it out as the sales assistant is busy with soemone else. this weekend will drop by IMM.
u have anycomments. Think the back care is firmer than the rest and i think its from japan? or was it candana?

Hi Cassie,
to us, its better to spend the money on the bed than on feature walls etc. To cut cost, my hall is basically all DIY and off the rack. No fancy customed made beds either.
We are getting the Aromax system wardrobe which is also moveable.
At the end of the day, the bed is where we spend 1/3 of our lives on. Paying $2k more than the ordinary beds. If you do the math, its $2000 / 10 years = 54 cents more a day. Not really a big sum for 10 yrs * 365 days * 8 hours = 29,200hrs of more comfort sleep.
As for your bed, why not you get the exact dimension and visuallise it at your MBR. Don't need to wait for a rude surprise when the bed is delivered.

hi milo,
i totally agree with you about the importance of a good bed
about the frame.... i've been walking around the past few weeks with a measuring tape in my bag heheh. measured and re-measured and re- re-measured the frame; should be able to fit unless they add another 2cm during the manufacturing process! whatever it is hb and i seem to need a lot of sleeping space, so anything less than a king is unthinkable. since we insist on a king, we will somehow work around the space problem if it arises

HI bookworm,
So far, my encounters with the various shops. They usually would throw in 2 pillos and 1 protector if you purchase the full range, i.e, bedframe and mattress. It's strange tat they din wanna give ya pillows...maybe u can check with other outlets again and inform Flora?
