I've been looking for a memory foam mattress or mattress topper for quite awhile over here rather unsuccessfully. I finally thought to look on GMarket and found some but the prices vary wildly. It seems that what is essentially the same product to me ranges in price from 30,000 to 300,000.

Has anyone here bought one from GMarket or has had a friend who has?

No, they are not very different. Usualy the cheap ones are made in China or the materials are from China.

30,000's is pretty much done by the 3rd year.
However 300,000's is NOT for 30 years, you dont need it to be that durable either.

If you do online shopping, try to read the comments. Expensive ones are not always the better ones.

Yeah, I figured cheaper equals China and cheaply made. GMarket is pretty much all Korean comments though, even when they have an English portal.

If you cant read Korean, then you better ask your Korean friend to help you.

Even from only this one page, I am sure you can find the one your like.
