Hi everybody,
Being working in mattress line for many years, I would like to explain various pointers when choosing over a brand. I am sure you had heard of brands like King Koil and Four Stars, which are pioneer to the mattress industry probably we used to sleep on them when we are young
The brand such as Simmons/Sealy/Serta/Spring Air/King Koil etc.. are well known in the market. The brands I mention had paid a serious amount of money into its marketing such as TV commercials/newspaper, departmental stores and even SBS bus decals! All these fees are not forked out and bear alone by the company itself. IT IS YOU, consumers, who will share the cost of it other besides than the cost of the mattress.
If you want to compare the prices and models, sad to tell you, online information are never accurate and models are limited. Eg. What Courts is selling, you will never find it in Harvery Norman. The best is to get your butt down and survey. I would recommend Courts as your price guideline ( Just don't create a mess for the sales representative )
Another thing is the VALUE. Brands overall are still "brands" in the end it is still the COMFORT AND VALUE you are choosing over.
OK.
Lets say you are comparing a $3000 Simmons BeautyRest Mattress with a $2599 Spring Air Presidential Suite range of mattress. Both are pocket spring with Latex and you like both of them. Which to choose?
Simple.
For Simmons/Serta/Sealy they have super super expensive range such as $20,000 + above and you can view them at Orchard Takashimaya B1 or B2.
If you are picked a Simmons mattress for $3000, you are paying for a low-mid range model because their middle and best range are $8000 - $20,000+ and considering you spending $3000. Which is quite a awful big amount for some fellow members here
Where Spring Air highest range was $5000 - $6000 only. Why? Because in Singapore they don't do advertising and promoting, so what you are paying are actually the real quality and comfort instead of helping company paying their commercials, sad to said.
On top of that, do look for bundle values. $1399 for mattress and bed frame etc etc. Be smart, nth is so good for you to believe, yes the price is attractive but both mattress and frame have a certain amount of cost depending on what you are looking for ( technology, quality, material used). For sure, it is either the mattress is a cheapo one with a average PU leather frame or an average mattress with a slim shady PVC bed frame
I hope I did answer some of the member question and their doubts. Do drop me a message if you have any inquiry, I will reply once I am free
