Getting married? Buying a mattress would be one of the first things you need to think of in the run up to the big day. If you have limited budget and having a lot to spend on, do you know that you can actually make substantial savings if you had all the required information about the mattress industry in Singapore.

I read an article 9 years ago, written by a guy named Seth Stevenson, who lives in the U.S. I came across this article again just a couple of days back and it striked me how similiar the mattress industry was like in the U.S. in the year 2000 as it is with Singapore now, in 2010.

The pursuit for good sleep that relaxes and refreshes the mind and body, leads to the hunt for the ideal mattress since that is the equipment for sleep. The perfect mattress should be able to ensure a full night of deep slumber from which one would wake up rejuvenated and invigorated.

But this type of sleep is elusive, and this triggers the debate about the best mattress. The more widely used varieties of mattresses include memory foam and inner spring with the former being soft and gentle, and the latter firm and harder.

Sorry if the title of this post sounds a little self-promoting and cheesy, but the point I want to make have to be taken seriously if you want to avoid sleeping on a unsuitable mattress for years to come or spending money again on a second mattress shortly after your first purchase.

Mattresses nowadays comes in all sorts of names, brands, technology, specification, features, materials, combinations and “benefits”. It may seem that you are spoilt for choice when you go mattress shopping. But the truth is, (without listening to the salesman), if you can’t differentiate one mattress from the other, there probably is not much difference.

The crucial issue is whether the features added with every passing day are needed for a product like a mattress. They are a lot of marketing gimmicks to make even a simple necessity like a mattress seem so complicated. Mattresses basically compose of an inner layer of coils or springs, foam or latex or even coir.

Is Beds.sg having a Sale?

Wait… I will come to that later

Every day (especially weekends), when I open the newspaper, I come across huge advertisments splashed over the newspapers with big titles like “Giant Sale! Up to 80% off Beds and Mattress”. Then the advertisements are usually followed by some details like

Wasaly Luxury has reached 3000 pieces sold!!

The Wasaly Luxury is the all time best seller of Beds.sg since the first day the website is launched.

Many of you may wonder, a queen size mattress selling at $150, how good can it be?

If you are someone with a lot of budget, and thinking of getting a luxurious mattress with extra comfy pillow top, than, the Wasaly Luxury is NOT for you.

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!
