hi all,

i was checking out mattresses for the past few days when i found out that the price will go up from 1 July onwards...so i'm trying to lock down my purchase asap, if possible by today....the problem is... i don't really know which brand/model to choose...

i've only check out Dunlopillo and Getha brands so far....any recommendations?

so it's easier for me just to check out the recommended brand/model instead of slowly searching for it...
thanks.

if i'm not mistaken dunlopillo is fully imported from UK for certain models. Maybe u can ask the shop which model is fully imported one and the price that is below 4k. And then choose the best one lah.

Slumberland.

kevyeoh,

Do not know what is the price now. But, I like KingCoil box spring matresses

Dreamer

kingcoil is under what brand leh?

Kingcoil itself is the brand name.

ok ok....now got 5 brands to consider...
getha, dunlopillo, kingcoil and slumberland...and goodnite..hehehe

Got more than that. Even some brand itself has another brand which they cater for higher/lower end of the market. Certain brands only do latex ones and certain brand does spring ones.

Hi , I read the above and would like to ask if your interested in specially made for hotels type of mattresses ? Such beds are more durable, have more and harder coils and material used are of higher quality. They are not found nor sold in retail outlets.

Pricing for some are reasonable n comparable to retail outlets as we have the qty to make up for it.

Do let me know if you have any queries.

Weist,

I would like more info on these "made for hotels" mattresses. PM me.

i never know that the mattress is so expensive..
could u quote the price also if u suggesting for any brand and model.

go try on those mattress yourself. Get the one that you are most comfortable with.

I personally would go for dunlopillo or getha. These are the brand that produce non-spring mattress. I would not buy any mattress with spring. No matter how expensive they are, after some time, the springs will become uneven on parts you sleep often and parts that you don't sleep like the edges. So, you feel some part bulging and some part soften.

I only go for non-spring type of mattress. Dunlopillo have the best and is made of very high quality materials. That's why so expensive. Getha is new player in the market (i think) but still no spring is better for me.

abubin,

I have KingCoil boxspring mattress for at least 10 years now. Yes, you have to rotate the mattress every 3 to 6 months to prevent the unevenness. But, if you do that, it is NOT a problem. 5 star Hotel use box spring mattress. Air circulation is better for spring mattress. Boxspring mattress has individual box / section of spring and it is better. But, it is more expensive for good quality box spring mattress. I do not whether KingCoil's quality is still good.

Ikea's Sultan mattress used to come with 20 years warranty

Hi abubin,

hmm about the spring mattresses, it really depends on the type , make and number of springs used. Those that become uneven after a short while is when they lose their ''strength' and just pop up..lol. The reason they lose their strength could be , among other reasons ,being heated only once or for a short while only or the metal used is substandard quality.

The shape of the spring is another reason for ''jutting'' out springs. If its shape is not bended smoothly , not of an optimal shape , and not compact , and if the mattress fabric is not strong, after a little wear and tear, the fabric will become thinner and the unsmooth spring will be more prominently seen. Of course even if u had the strongest fabric and an 'unsmooth' spring , the 'unsmooth' spring will still jut out and still cause discomfort and damage to our bodies.

Oh and i need to stress the feature of '' compact''-ness. Compact here means the number of springs in the mattress. The more spring the better, then the surface of the mattress is seen and feels 'smoother ', no unevenness. each spring is closely surrounded at all sides by springs which in turn are closely surrounded at all sides by other springs etc etc , this creates a smooth transition from spring to spring. The spring we have is not the normal wave like spring. these do not work well. An example would be the ''bed of nails'' case. U wouldnt feel as much pain lying on a bed entirely covered with the sharp ends of nails than u would lying on just a few nails .

anyway, it is good u found what suits u , considering a lot of ppl dont sleep well =)
G'nite

The best is try out each mattress...

hMm.. am surprised there's so much discussion just on mattress alone ! *grins*

Just sleep on the wooden floor *grins*

taikor kev... getha should fit nicely for ur budget. I love the mattress (kinda forgot which model though)

actually i've tried a few brands and now narrowed down to getha and dunlopillo.... getha is cheaper than dunlopillo...my aunt however got bad experience with getha's brand so i think i'll go for dunlopillo...thx...


there are lots of brands out there it seems.... slumberland, goodnite, dunlopillo, getha, kingcoil, simmons etc... pening lor...

Few months back I was doing some research on mattresses as well. The 1 that interest me the most is Getha.

Right now I'm using latex mattress. No need to rotate, no need to flip over. Good for people that's allergy to dust mite. If budget limited, get the 1 with thick layer of latex on the top say at least about 4-5inches and whatever spring on the lower part.

full latex are very hot without air cond.

anyone of u guys try memory form type before?

Get GETHA full latex mattress. I love GETHA.

I prefer memory foam mattress.

i tried naturatax... feels good...and comes with one topper...and the topper got lots of holes in between so it's not that hot...

has anyone try serta?

Would like to seek an opinion which brand u all prefer?

My budget is <Rm1.5k for Queen Size. I was thinking to order Dreamland from Amway, anyone has any comment with Dreamland mattress?

FYI, Dreamland is long established mattress maker and not from Amway.
I don't even know Amway is selling Dreamland's mattress.

I felt that Getha which is another local brand is quite good.

Try checking out Sultan mattress frm Ikea...

http://www.amway2u.com/mall_prodlst.jsp?cat1=6000&cat2=7135

Getha will be another choice to me but not sure on the price, believe it will be more expensive than Dreamland.

li_5997, you bought the mattress from IKEA, so how was it?

Sultan mean comfort in Swedish

I am currently using Getha Transforme Series -bought one at RM3894 (after 15%) discount. It's a latex mattress and very comfortable. Cheaper than those pocket spring mattress which can easily cost RM5K or more. Very comfortable.

Some of the furniture shops i went to recommended Coconut fibre husk' mattress for my backache but it's very heavy and in a long run might not be too good for our spine.

getha is the best ... aiyooo i love gethaaa ... but so ex ... cheapest one RM3k ... i love gethaaa

Ya, I jz bek from Homedec, trying on Getha and Dunlopillo's mattress, the price for Getha is expensive, so may b will consider Dunlopillo Series....

My parents have been King Coil fan all the years

hi oicicic, wat's the price for Getha transforme???
also surveying which mattress to go for ...

how about Goodnitght ? quite cheap though...

Dunlopillo best best :> tido tak nak bangun

I bought mine Kingkoil king size RM750 (FREE 2 pillows).

i survey here and there...then i dunno how i end up buying Naturatex... but when i sleep at the showroom...feels nice la...i like cause naturatex mattress comes with the soft topper layer...

There are rubber lattex, pocket spring and coil spring type to choose from. Price varies. Just go try your self.

You cant get Dunlopillo with 1.5k otherwise I would recommend that. Since when Amway sell mattres? Never buy anything from Amway, they are simply overpriced. Read my post about how Amway con people with their lousy air purifier.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/79269

Amway normally mark up 6 times for things that selling through Amway marketting network. I have a friend who has a sole distrobutorship of a Japanese product tried with Amway, he told me that and I beleived what he said was true.

What ever brand you can buy, king coil, dreamland, sweetdream, getha just don't buy from AMWAY unless you are one of them.

hi zeist, mind to tell me where you got it ? is there like a model name for the one tht you bought
haven't physically went to shp yet but i heard somethinng like King Koil Maharajah... is tht the one u got?

lots of mattress sales lately, worth to buy it now ? or should wait for time nearing to christmas???

also, 5' equals to what size?


This post has been edited by king_eric: Nov 17 2008, 01:07 AM

i booked Napure 5' from homedec, rm1999, free 3pillow

Is Latex better than Pocket Sprint mattress ? Yesterday went to Miva and the salesman told me Latex is better and more long lasting as pocket spring no matter how good it is also will become softer after few year, how true is this statement ?

He keep recommending Naturatex. is it good ?

Actually it is normal for any co. to mark up 6 times from the cost (or more) if there are more than 1 level of distribution and also depending on what kind of products and the brand. Eg. :-

Manufacturer - Distributor - 150%, Distributor - Reseller - RM150%, Reseller - Enduser - 300% (varies acc to product and brand)

The more exclusive the brand the higher the markup .. eg. what do u think the cost is for a Jimmy Choo ladies shoe selling at RM10k a pair?

Of coz if u compare apples to apples the price should be the close ie. If Jimmy Choo at Retail Shop A is RM10k then Jimmy Choo at Retail shop B should also be close to RM10k. Or, Dreamland at retail shop = RM3k, Dreamland at Amway should be +/- RM3k also. Most MLM companies have high lvl of markup so that is the main reason they market products that are exclusive to them, or they may have a very low initial cost otherwise they won't be able to compete with other retailers.

Sometimes a reseller may mark up many times depending on their cost and purchasing power. Eg. Carefour may mark up 100% for a tin of milo because they buy in container loads and still sell cheaper than a kedai runcit who can only buy a carton and mark up 20%.

Dreamland for sure, been using it for 20yrs.

I kinda agree with some of your points, but try to explain why Amway is selling a lousy air purifier at Rm 4k? I did prove Amway air purifier sucks and they did sell at 4k, didn't I?

If you are in any manufacturing line before, you should know for most of the consumer products, there is no way you can mark up 150% to your distributors, you think your distributors are nuts? Distributors to resellers another 150% mark up, do you again think resellers are nuts? And Enduser being markup 300%, do you think enduser like you and me are nuts?

I kinda don't agree with you exclusive brand cost more, can I sell my KLSOONER brand shoes to you at 10k? It is exclusive isn't it, one and only one in the world, some more hand made. ( I will make sure I hand made it to you if you willing to pay 10k) Do you really think Jimmy Choo's shoes cost 10k because they are "exclusive"? think again!

OEM air purifier from China and put your own brand in it is also exclusive, what so special about exclusive??

Why do you care how much Carefour mark up when you have the "choice" to compare price with the Milo from Kedai runcit Ah Huat? Are you trying to tell me you will buy from Ah Huat even his Milo is 50 cents more expensive than Carefour because Carefour mark up 100% and Ah Huat only mark up 20%?

Why buy from Amway when you can buy from retail shop? You can try on your own about how comfort the bed is and try from one shop to another and have price comparison. Buying a bed from catalogue without laying your butt on it is just plain stupid.

go for latex material... getha is good!

KLsooner
Do not further go off topic. Just leave it as it is.

You may however create another topic in Finance, Business and Investment House to discuss this and I think it would attract lots of comments.

Let's just focus on Mattress in this topic, shall we.

I'm fans of Dunlopillo for nearly 7 years. But during latest promotion at robinson, I bought new mattress , Super king and 7 inch for about 8k. This mattress better than my dunlopillo. Its also reduce my back pain a lot.

Hey I am just trying to tell the person who started this post not to be conned by Amway matress, off topic? ask DannyOP.

wah i'm so surprise dreamland is selling by amway.

for best bang for buck.. do look at Goodnite mattresses.. especially the one with the intense fabric.. it may suit your budget.

mine using Mattress World...
Classirez i think...
king size...
just used it for 3 days so far....
yup....nice and sound sleep so far.....

i think the more important issue is how u know ur mattress at watever brand is original? sometimes u see mattress promotion that is so good and cheap on popular brand.. u have to wonder... is it fake imitation stuffs?

i'm using Dreamland chiropractic something something.. bought for RM1.2K 4yrs ago.. it was nice and sturdy during the first yr... but the spring getting soft in the last 2 yrs...

and they say good mattress last 10yrs... so now i doubt actually how real is my dreamland...

got offer RM1000 for Getha - 5" original latex- queen - this is the cheapest latex from em. at sg buloh. bought bedroom instead - not enuf budget.
i prefer later, it s cooler than foam or those spring.

king koil, slumberland, and something dream... these are the good ones.. i mean the cheap and good ones

Sealy from USA is the top mattress brand. Tempure from Germany is rated third in the world. Anyway, i recently bought a Vono Spinal Care Deluxe Queen-sized mattress for RM1860 (after some discount) and a Goodnite Euphony King-sized mattress for RM1950 (also after some discount). Vono belongs to Slumberland and is a British brand while Goodnite is a local brand but they do produce mattresses that are comparable to other middle range mattress makers. Each mattress has their own pros and cons. I wouldn't say which one is better and which one is not. You just has got to try it yourself before you burn your cash. And if you are rich, you might as well got for Sealy or Tempure because they really live up to expectation.

im dun think amway is selling matteress now, collect me if im wrong

king koil maharaja strongly recomended

Oh, you are referring to me?

I did try on Chiromax pro mattress in other shops as well instead of looking from the catalogue. What the different between both was the price, warranty and the freeware.
Thanks for your advice, I will take note of that.

Let get back to the topic which mattress to go for instead which shop to go.
KLsooner, if you hv other points to enlighten, feel free to pm me.
Please share your bad experience in Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations , so no other ppl will be cheater.

Anyone knows where to get coconut fiber mattress?

Not sure, but one thing for sure is it's going to be heavy and I don't know...to me, it's not comfy.
I got a friend who imported one from China as he imported lot's of furnitures and finishings from China back to build his own bungalow.
It took 3-4 of us to move the king size bed........
But he is saying it's good for posture and ventilation.

Wow... all the way from China... I know some Kampung still selling... but in KV im don't know where to get it

My gf recently got a slip disk, thus a firm bed will help...

Coconut fibre is the best. It's firm and I sleep like a log. You can get coconut fibre mattresses in many furniture shops in the Klang Valley. I got it from my neighbourhood furniture shop.

slumberland is good

it supports our back

not only slumberland support back, lah.. so many brands out there nowadays who claim their mattres is 'back' support. most important is you go to shop and sleep on it and feel it yourself

any idea for the price? and where to get it?

I got a quote for a Dreamland Sleepmaker mattress (using Miracoil) for RM950 (queen size).

Anybody using this or heard of this mattress?

yesterday, i just buy a sime darby(dunlopillo) materess queen size @ RM 1900..dunno what model is this, i cannot find the model through online...Just know got IPS + anti dust + memory foam(top cover)...worth for this price?

Bro, can advise me where to get?... I'm going to give up of looking for coconut fiber mattress.

anyone try slumberland BIOCERAMIC series mattress? any comment and feedback on FAR INFRARED RAY? here is some info about Far Infrared Ray and effects of FIR to our body, appreciate if u can share with us ur feedback...

really nobody can answer my question? plan to buy a mattress before CNY, but still no idea..

there is a warehouse sale for matters in PJ 222 i think you can go there have a look.

Mattress price just like furniture price. Sometimes they quoted you very high then give you very good discount. Prob is those manufacturer puting the retail price in such hight then give 50% or more discount.
Zone matress and coconut fibre is very good choice.
I also looking for matress. any matress below 700 which is worth to buy? Pls share your opinion based on my budget.
How is Ikea matress?

Hi , I just bought a Mattress too... , did try to go to some warehouse sale but didnt manage to get anything from there... after a lot surveying @ Furniture shop & I decided to get : KING COIL MATTRESS - PUTERI ... around my budget... Haven't sleep on it yet ??.. Not yet deliver to my house...

* Price range for Queen Size around RM 600.00 - RM 650.00 after discount ( depends on what u buy there , Buy more things like other furniture may get more discount ).... , here are some basic specs of it :-

KING COIL MATTRESS - PUTERI ...
9" Thick , Turn Free Mattress , Imported Damask , Ticking Everlast Foam , Chiropractic Coil , 10 Years Warranty , Reliable Brand......

i personnally think the Price is reasonable to get the above specs ..... Anyhow , U have to Feel & Like the Mattress , & person to person is different ..... & regarding ikea mattress , I personally think it is a bit Soft for me... Like it a bit Hard.....

This post has been edited by dannyl77: Jan 9 2009, 11:24 AM

How much the puteri matress? Ppl quote me around 750 plus. But puteri also got few version if not mistaken.
As for Ikea, medium consider ok. But firm one cost 1k above.
Any one try rebond type? So call man made rubber. Is cheaper then sprice but better than foam type.

I bought puteri early last year 580, currently looking at another mattress call mastercoil by masterfoam industry, king rm1600, memory foam,3 zone pocket spring...anyone use this brand b4?

Hi guys, i am looking to buy matress too. 1 king and 1 queen size. Qs: what range of price shud i be looking to pay into? seems like king koil = premium brand at premium price? also like vono is it a good brand? try king koil cant remember the model but price is like 3k +++ but very comfy. can some one enlighten me abit. sorry.

puteri mattress......i just asked around puchong can get around RM670. if stay nearby deliver for free. As for king koil maharaja.........cheapest i found is RM1450. now aiming to get a value for money mattress.

maharaja....real nice. puteri for me......not that nice. anyone tried Vono or other value and good brand to recommend? with price too if possible.

Wow 3-5k matress?

I have one:
- Silent night - RM1.1k - 12" mattress pocket spring. Happy about it although maybe less durable at the edges. But you don't sleep at the edges and if you don't have kids jumping on them it's ok.

- Orhorest - RM1.2k - 12" chiropedic coils. This bed is very firm. It's firm even on the corner/edges and supposed good for spine (as it's firm). It was the cheapest but solid mattress I could find. Cons: Some may find it a bit hard for their taste.

I love the ones with a 2" memory foam cushioning on the top but those costs at least 2k.

Water Mattress....3k ++ ...
It's really comform

just check the model if not mistaken mahkota king size rm3000++. anyone can reckon any good and value for money for king size. tyty

This post has been edited by Eng_Tat: Jan 15 2009, 05:20 PM

Hi Eng tat , Yes .. This is the One ...

KING COIL MATTRESS - PUTERI ...
9" Thick , Turn Free Mattress , Imported Damask , Ticking Everlast Foam , Chiropractic Coil , 10 Years Warranty ...
* I remember Seeing the TURN FREE wording all over the Back of the Mattress..., wonder why it is not written on the Website ......

The BEST Buy Price written on the Website RM 1458 ( Queen size ) , if u read properly .. it is price of Full Bedset ( w/ Divan & Headboard ) ... i remember seeing the RRP is around RM 849 ... usually they will give around 20% discount... if u are a good bargainer & u buy more things from them , i think can get around 600.00 - RM 650.00...

Anyhow, this is the Lowest Range of TURN FREE 9" Thick Mattress By King Coil with Chiropractic Coil ,
Wat i can say is ... No matter Wat, sure cant compare with PUTERA , MAHARAJA ..... Which is 1k & above.....& also the CHIRO-TECH Series which is RM 2k - RM 3k .... MAHKOTA , ULTIMA is RM 3k above..... at the end of the day its up to individual , wat kinda budget & wat kinda range one willing to go for....

Hi all! Anyone know where I can get the KingKoil Puteri queen sized mattress in the Kajang/Bangi/Cheras area?

Thanx!

Hi , I notice got a lot of Furniture SHop Along ther Grand Saga Highway.... Can try there.....

Anyone using vono back relaxer or similar vono / slumberland mattress?

I just got a queen full set and I find the mattress a bit firmer than when I tested it at the showroom. Anyway, where can I find affordable latex topper? Getha's latex topper going for RM700+ after disc (queen).


thanks.

Hi, may i know how many range for king koil mattress?is it maharaja is the highest range? Thanks

http://www.kingkoil.com.my/prodline_pss_mh.html

Looking at the price, maharaja is among the cheapest.

Can anyone recommend a Slumberland dealer that will give a good price on a mattress?

After testing out mattresses at Robinsons and various shops I think i've found the perfect one - Slumberland Crown Jewel. I would classify it as "cushion firm", it doesnt have the bounce of latex neither is it immobilising like memory foam, somewhere in-between.

Unfortunately the asking price at Robinsons, and a slumberland shop on Jln Maarof Bangsar was rather steep RM5200 and RM4800 respectively for queen size. Waaay beyond my budget - and doesnt even include the divan. Are there better places to look?

Anyone tried Sanctuary (bio ceramic)? The pillow top is using similar materials as the Crown Jewel but somehow i feel that the springs are much harder.
