Where to buy a new mattress

Post by Doc67 »

Ha Ha yes, I've worn it out...

I am looking for places to buy a new one. I know of Global House Cambodia, near Makro, which has a good selection but I am not sure if their prices are any good. They seemed a bit on the expensive side.

Anyone know of shops a bit closer to Daun Penh?

As always, many thanks in advance...

Monivong, just north of 174 on the western side, there is a line of mattress shops. Most have Heng in their name. Don't be shy to lie on a few to check them out.You can probably knock them down on price 10% ish (assuming they are being reasonable). $120 should get you a decent king-sized.

That's where I've bought a few as well. From quite cheap to really expensive. One shop has rolled up carpeting/fake green grass on the outside. They're the biggest.

Let us know where you end up going Doc.

I'm in the market for a new mattress as well.

The last two I bought ended up kind of collapsing in the middle and turning into a taco shell after not too long.

I think it's time to plonk down some serious money for a good quality mattress this time.

i used to sleep on those shit $150 mattresses that after a year you roll to the center<
Brought a good Sealy Posturepedic queen for around $450 and it was as good as new 10 years later...
PLUS my back thanked me for it,

as ur spending up to 1/3rd or so of ur life in bed, why be cheap?

When I was in my own country, my bed was a very important item, of a luxury mattress and bedding, quilt and pillows of down, that kind of thing.
The last 4 years or more, I prefer to sleep on the tiled floor because it is cool.
I have the Thai type of ribbed mattress if I want to be b a little more comfortable. But mostly I lay down on the tiles. Saving the comfort when I visit places, and use hotels with aircon.

You may have conciderations on this Thai type, even for a mattress topper. King size was around the $90 mark.

Can vouch for this zone too - purchased a queen size Dunlopillow mattress in a shop along that strip years back, from memory it was about $300 US and they delivered it to our place.

Used it for several years and when we left Cambodia we sent it out to the in-laws place in the province.

I was really glad to reacquaint myself with it Dec 2019/Jan 2020 when we visited again - it held up well.

if you sleep on the floor, try one of those fishing-line mattresses
they should be ideal for the climate, and athletes swear by them:

in fact they were to be used for the tokyo olympics:

then again, what were they thinking?
i understand the olympics are a giant orgy
cardboard beds won't go the mile

Missus got a latex mattresses when she was still living in Phnom Penh. Very bouncy and comfortable. Probably being enjoyed by the family back in the province by now.

NKOTB, I'm still trying to work out whether you are blissfully naive, or if you do these kinds of things deliberately. :popcorn:
