Hi Guys,
Looking to replace 3 beds and wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Potentially get a King Single, Single and a double/queen
40 winks has a 40hr sale going on but was looking for your opinions on other retailers and/or online alternatives with cheap, good quality beds.
Any personal recommendations will also be much appreciated.
Thanks
Definitely dont wish to buy someone elses stains. I'd rather buy a really cheap new one if I had to
haha. Ask the seller if he can tell you where the stains are from. At least this way you wont be left wondering.
But seriously, Hope you find a good deal! I bought a $250 mattress and bed combo from harvey few years ago. Love it!
Mate bought a rather nice mattress on scumtree for $50 but it came with free bedbugs. It wasn't until we spent an hour or so blasting it with a stream cleaner did the bed bugs disappear.
Definitely do not recommend secondhand.
But hey, Good after the spray? I suggest not to have your face down on it though.
Thankfully he is just a mate and I don't share a bed with him :)
Can get some decent new mattresses ($200 ballpark) from Salvos. If you want a super cheap frame, go look at IKEA or similar stores. There are a few things I find IKEA terrible for, mattresses (frames ok) are one of them. 2nd hand for frames (gumtree etc) in my opinion are also fine.
However, you spend 1/3 of your life on the mattress - not something I go super cheap on!
I find that the value sweet spot is around $500 for queen. In that case, feel free to go shopping around retailers.
Does anyone have thoughts about this? Considering purchasing a mattress as well.

Check out AMF they have good mattress for reasonable price. Been to DJ, snooze, HN and few others but AMF offered value for money
What is AMF? Do they have a website?
Avoid big name retailers as they are way overpriced. Seek smaller local furniture businesses that don't use extremely high margins then offer 40% or more discount. Queen top line mattresses should cost around $1,400. Avoid manufacturers Sealy and Sleepmaker, I have seen inside those. Perhaps go to a factory and watch a mattress being made. Avoid thick foam/rubber tops as these inevitably cave-in. Pick a mattress with moderate amounts of foam overlays and choose a mattress where the springs do the comfort work, not the foam. Consider pocket springs instead of coils as these are pre-tensioned active springs used free-form (no wire case) whereas all the others are reactionary springs, caged.
Have fun choosing.
Council clean up?
something to consider, in some Asian countries a 2'' thick, stiff foam is the norm.
The mattress business is a scam because they put dozens of different names on the same product so you can't do a price comparison.
Zaanta is having and End of Financial Year sale right now till the end of June. While stocks last!
stuff new, go gumtree. mind the stains. but you can spend the money you saved on a trip to the US.
