I observed that 98% of the mattress brands in Malaysia are locally made. This shows that Malaysia is in the forefront in mattress making experience and technology spanning more than 70 years. Malaysia is abundant in natural raw materials treasured by the international mattress community, that is why Malaysia also exports these mattresses. That 2% are imported from Asean countries. Europe, America and China.

Most of the foreign brands in Malaysia are "licensed" by their respective principles overseas. Do you know the intricacies in obtaining a brand ? There are so many criteria like financial strength, production capacities, experience, technical capacities, technical qualifications, costings, marketing.... etc etc. -- if you do not make a qualified product you do not get the brand.

I do see that they are many "licensed" brands in this country and if consumers are vary of the products, they can just "google" those brands for a background check on their overseas company (brand), and local company(manufacturer) ..current status quo.

and...... mitchell78, when are you going to pay all of us ( mattress manufacturers and suppliers ) the money you owe ???

Seriously, can recommend some VERY firm mattress and latex pillows? Not too expensive ya?
Last brand for pillows I use doesn't last more then 3 years. It becomes lumpy very fast! Before that Dunlopillow last me 10 years but can't find it so bought the current brand which is worse of all!

@mattressmaker1

You seems to know a lot about mattresses. Mind to give some input on Goodnite mattress? With my budget (RM2k), after so many types and brand of mattress I tried, Goodnite gave me the best feeling. The model I'm saying is Goodnite Fortune. Any idea? Thanks.

anyone here heard about kingkoil ""DUTA"" mattress? somehow i can't find any info abt it...

yes i'm aware that i'm buying for a few years usage and therefore not rushing into buying it. Anyway like u mentioned, any brands that is properly certified and recognized like u said? i'm very new in mattress ><

but i did try on naturatex last weekend and yummy it feels better a little. full latex and also free a top layer latex

Duta? Not at current range i think. Or if it is not old model, it could be renamed by large furniture mall like Cavenzi. They do re-label the King Koils to their own model names...

i like the firmness of NATURATEX Spinal Support mattress, anyone mind to share where have best deal for queen size? thank you very much!

re-label?? do u mean that it is still manufacture by King Koil right? as i did saw its catalog. it is act a silvery plus an 2 inch topping....

@Darknite,
well if you want a VERY FIRM mattress they are many actually, those brands that are 2k-3.5k has it. Just visit those trade fairs or an area where there are a large cluster of furniture shops.

I suppose those you bought are latex pillows that is manufactured differently as these days there are moulded, cut and fillings types. Most important is to adhere to the care instructions on the warranty card. And do note that latex foam is rubber tree sap and it cannot be put out in the sun as it will harden. Just wash and dry it below your porch.

if you want a good pillow, am afraid there are no cheap ones as -what you pay is what you get. Do go for those pillows that have a factory warranty on it. If a pillow is not up to expectations, it'll show within a year and you can claim the warranty.

it is hard to judge how long lasting a full latex mattress can go since there is no report/record on the latex durability.

all the sellers only promote that latex mattress is soft, nice to sleep, comfortable...etc

my dunlopillo pillow (full latex) Rm350 becomes hard and sagging after 3 years of using.

it is common sense to say that natural latex wont last as long as other good pocketed spring mattress.

Hiya, can't you suggest some brands for me to try?

Not sure if I am using the correct term or not... but the mattress still coming from King Koil factory, but they(big furniture store) use it as their house brand mattress.

also seems like the place to get slaughtered. Prices shud be sky high there in bangsar

theres no free lunch my friend.

Added on September 23, 2010, 9:07 pmtry sleeping on the floor first, if you like it then only go for very firm mattresses

not free lunch my fren >< just the best bargain ma. If the same mattress can get in other shop (not bangsar) for few hundred cheaper why not?

This is going to be off topic: but u may be surprised that some shops in bangsar are not.... i got my tag heuer spec frame there..... cheapest in the market that time.... even i went there to replace my lens to transitions.... also cheapest i can find.... lolz.... dont underestimate bangsar prices.....

Hi ya can't sleep on floor la. Old man already if sleep on floor, sure will become stiff!
And which brand of mattress do you suggest I try?

just bought goodnite pocket spring mattress(royal star) + divan. cost me 1.6k. so comfortable.

tried maharaja but feel it just too stiff for me.

thats why a hard surface can make you stiff haha....

for your age , the best is individual pocketed springs with latex foam padding or extra firm full latex foam, i think but be prepared to pay 2.5k and above for these brands, naturatex, napure, silentnight, naturest, dunlopillo, and i saw an advertisment today @the star a brand call englander even got a promotion on one set at 1.999k. That a good deal. Don't know if its good, i have to go see first.

Added on September 26, 2010, 10:42 pmnot getting hot ? latex foam is the best material as in regulating temperature. surprisingly it been a cool padding or mattress core ever since its been invented. ..see http://www.tatami.com.my/prod06.htm

*cool fabrics only last few years and don't think they give warranty on it....wear and tear i heard.

best price ...homeliving, macy, home&living, valencia, miva, homez, wl, bfm, eastwood, limeng, keng huat +?00 more......spoilt for choice

the difference ?? its spring locking turns...the more spring locking turns maybe more harder, stiff and costly a mattress...

Added on September 26, 2010, 10:50 pmof course by now here are over 40 brands actively selling in the market...for latex brands ....aerofoam, englander, napure, naturatex, and more ..

Added on September 26, 2010, 11:01 pmcompact" -ness can also come from a full high density latex foam mattress without the machanical lift movements of springs, these foam is said to be even denser and have a gent-lier lift - (more compact than springs which it is still hollow inside)
