|
Hi, where is the cheapest place to buy a mattress in east Seoul?
Went to homeplus and the cheapest mattress was about 450,000!!
That's crazy money. I just want the mattress, not the whole bed. Unless the bed is really cheap anyway.
Thanks. |

I paid 250,000 won for a queen sized bed at Yong-dong market in Gwangju. That included the mattress, frame. Since you're an old-timer you must know Koreans who can help you. Go on G-Market and find one you like and order it. You'll find a good deal... |

Gmarket
For a mattress + frame starts at around 140 including delivery
You can get this mattress thing that has legs built in to the mattress for like 80shipped, but it looks uncomfortable |

| Thin Korean style mattress costs about 30,000 won. I've been sleeping on one for years. Good for your back and takes advantage of the ondal in winter. |

Gmarket also does those beds with drawers built into the frame - I like those.  |
