ArnoW Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi everyone! Now that the job is sorted, it is time for me to upgrade my inflatable mattress to a decent bed. But where would be best place be to look (in Melbourne) for the best quality for the best price. I am aware that beds are very expensive...

Sunnyskies Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Shop online for a brand you want and them go to Snooze or Forty Winks and get them to match the price.Remember that you will sleep on it for 10 years so make sure it is the right bed for you. If you don't know what you want go into Forty Winks work out what you want and then do as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwyn&Co Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Arno try & look for sales & specials. Snooze & Forty Winks are popular. We recently bought a Serta & it's the best matress we've ever had.http://www.fortywinks.com.au/beds-mattresses/best-bed-mattress-brands/cool3.html Edited September 11, 2014 by Bronwyn&Co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi In Sydney I have seen new beds for sale at Vinnies. I did not look at what brands or price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Always ask if they have floor stock for sale. Our new bed was priced ar $4500 new, but we got it for $1950 as it was floor stock. This was at Harvey Norman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferMan Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 What on earth do you need a bed for....?!? We got our bed at 40 Winks for 2500, Its a great bed, but showing some signs of wear n tear. (Now I know B is going to rip into me here!) One tip, keep a Excel somewhere you say that you "turn" the mattress once a month, or you cannot claim on it if it breaks or dies while under warranty.....

Sunnyskies Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 We are hap hazard mattress turners and our bed just turned 10 and still going strong. D I don't know what you do with your bed! Our bed has even slept 4 when the kids jumped in in the middle of the night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFreshStart Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Slightly off topic, but this the reason we bought brand new matresses here and shipped them. We tend to be sleep hogs, so buy the best we can, which for us is Simmons, but found when comparing they were 3-4 times the price in Aus, I think just buying the 2 singles and queen offset the cost of our entire container! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc4 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Snooze people know how to bargain!We got our base from ikea and the matress from Snooze. Just try not to convert $ to R or you will need an ambulance to get you home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferMan Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Just a tip folks, Ikea have a 25 year guarantee on their beds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansaPlease Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hey Surferman - What does the guarantee include though- in my experience, a guarantee on a bed means nothing. We contacted the manufactures and retailer of our bed which had a 10 year guarantee - it seemed to lose support a lot quicker than you would expect. They basically told us - if the springs aren't popping out, stabbing you in the back, then the bed, as far as they are concerned, is fine. How many of us keep a bed until the springs pop out? Unless the guarantee is very specific and measurable, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwyn&Co Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Also because Surferman really uses his bed ? - he said so himself! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
