I was back in Vancouver last week and my buddy was telling me about some kind of memory foam mattress topper that he'd seen at Costco that he wanted to buy. I went and checked it out and it looked like it would be perfect for my bed here in Korea. Unfortunately it was quite large and heavy, so if I'd bought it there I would have had to pay an extra $100+ to get it on the plane.
I don't remember what brand it was, but do any of you know of anything similar available here in Korea? I'd go to Costco myself to look, but I'm about 4 hours away from the nearest one.

Thanks

I've seen them in department stores (Hyundai & Lotte), but Costco will almost definitely be cheaper.

I paid more than 300,000 won for my latex memory mattress pad but oh, my sleep has never been better.

They have the mattress phone toppers at Costco. They used to be like 110,000 won and up, but I believe are now as much as 300,000. Might be somewhere between those prices.

They can also be found on Gmarket. Search with a Korean's help, as there is more selection if you search in Korean.

I bought it online on interpark.com. You might find cheaper but well, you get what you pay for. Latex is HEAVENLY to sleep on.
