my girlfriend and I have been looking to buy a double mattress with limited luck. we saw one at Save Zone, but I thought I'd post here before we buy it so we could compare prices. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't live in Busan but my town has dozens of small businesses that specialize in Beds and furniture. Almost all of the furniture stores have double size beds. In addition to helping out people in your neighborhood, you'll be able to barter a little on the price and everyone will be happy.

We bought ours, which is quite comfortable, from one of those neighborhood discount furniture places. Its new, free delivery, mattress and bed for around 300,000. Pretty good.
Any Korean shoud know where the local one is. Where are you?

thanks for the replies. i'm in Molundae near Dadaepo Beach. i found a store nearby, but i'm not sure how the prices are. 160,000 for a double i didn't really like. 400,000 for a Sealy. those prices are for the matress only. we can live without a frame.

don't want to ask for help for every little thing, but we might take up someone from the school on their offer to help us with this one. we'll take her out for a few drinks after to thank her for her time.
