Imagine this – After shopping for some time, you finally decided on a mattress that you like and that falls into your budget. You made a deposit and arranged to have it delivered to your house. When the mattress is arrived, you realized that the mattress doesn’t fit into your bedframe! This is one of the biggest nightmare one could face when purchasing a mattress.

You see, the mattress company might not want to take back the mattress because it was your mistake. Even if the mattress company does take back the mattress you will then need to pay a delivery fee for taking back the mattress and a fee for customization which adds up to a few hundreds of dollars. You most probably will end up without a mattress for a few weeks and a few hundred dollars poorer!

So, please familiarize yourself with mattress sizes before you make any purchases. The following are the standard mattress sizes in Singapore:

For American or European Sizes, the width is usually the same but the lenght would be around 3 inches longer. Make sure you measure your bed to ensure it is a local Singapore size before you purchase a mattress.

Customization

If your bed is not a standard local size ( i.e American or European size), you will then have to ask for customization. Not all mattress can be customized (especially imported mattress), so check with the salesperson first. The customization fee also varies from shop to shop.

At www.beds.sg, the extra charge for customization is 30% – 35% on top of the mattress price. The brands in Beds.sg that allows customization would be :

Wasaly Mattress

Magic Koil Mattress

Maxcoil Mattress

Maliland Mattress

The lead time needed for customization of mattress is about 1 week.
