Parents are used to a really very firm mattress in India.
Old fashioned stuffed mattress for bed are most common type of bed mattress used in India is stuffed mattress usually filled with cotton of varying qualities, or with silk cotton, or natural fibers such as coconut coir and even pine needles in the hilly regions. These type of mattress are very economical than the other type of mattress available in the market and the support they provide is depends on the resilience of the filling. A stuffed mattress can have a long life but needs to be cared at required intervals to smoothen out the unevenness caused by lumped cotton, and to rejuvenate its springiness.
We tried couple of recommended mattress ( medium firm and firm ) from Snooze and other mattress specialist but none helped. It made their Cervical spondylosis more worst. So we are thinking of two options :
1) Try to find Indian Style very firm (Old fashioned stuffed mattress) as above
2) Ship the mattress from India to here (Syd) which is appro max 10kg.
How much it would cost? Any recommended company to get quote from?
Would like to get your inputs on both points, appreciate your time.
Getting it from India may be difficult. The stuffing is usually sisal cotton. The seeds of sisal will be present in a mattress. There could be quarrantine issues. Speak to quarantine department before importing. You may be able to import by paying for quarrantine treatment.
