Matress-buy online.

[chiangrai]

A few years ago I bought a mattress in Taiwan.

It was made of 3 layers of foam and abut 3 inches high;

It was really comfortable.

I am looking for something similar.Some companies squash their mattresses

into a small box and ship it to you.At least they do in America.

 

Does anybody know where I can get one of these mattresses.

3 to 6 inch high and super comfortable.

 

Preferably online but I would actually travel to get one if

I had to...

I can't help but think about customs duty when it comes to buying from outside Thailand.

The foam mattress I bought at IKEA a few years ago sounds similar:
https://www.ikea.com/th/en/catalog/products/60272253/

That comes compressed and rolled into a cylinder that you can transport quite easily in a car or even on a bus, I suppose. I dont think that they do postal deliveries though.

At 6,000B I find it vastly superior to a 20,000B Thai sprung mattress that I used previously.

Yes that sounds exactly whet I'm looking for.......

but there is no Ikea in Chiang Rai.

 

I nearly would go to Bangkok instead of buying these 15 inch

monstrosities for 10 to 20 grand.

 

Any one know a way to get the ikea mattress to Chiang Rai without

going to Bangkok.

Or some where else that sells the same thing.

I have used IKEA mattresses for many years, there is no compare if you look at quality to price.

Would Kerry delivery service or similar pick up at the store and transport up to you? It's a small roll 20-30 cm dia that should be easy to transport.

Ikea have a lot of delivery options on there web site so I wrote to them.

I suppose I won't get a reply untill after Song kran.

 

Does KERRY actually do pick ups if you contact them....

Ikea have writen back to say they don' do online purchases.

So that's that.

 

So where else can I find this type of mattress.

There is a Homepro and a Central in Chiang Rai

would they have one,must check and see.

 

Where else..........Lazada......Ebay......

If you know someone in/near Bangkok then they could buy one for you and send it to you by post or courier service.

I do question the decision making in IKEA as to offer an online ordering and nationwide delivery service would seem an obvious way to increase sales. Instead they seem to be building a second Bangkok branch quite close to the first.

IKEA's way to increase sales is to force you to tour their entire store just to buy one item

I send him a PM that I would be willing to help. Ikea is right at my doorstep (4 km away)

^^ The one I bought was quite well packaged in the form of a cylinder about 40cm across, and easy enough to manipulate. It weighed under 20kg. I see no obvious problems with sending it by post/courier or on a bus or train.

After removing the plastic cover it takes it about a day to fully resume its normal shape.
