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. Wink
