I've just moved into my new place and it only has a single bed. That's not gonna fly.

Where can I get a mattress in Seoul without paying an arm and a leg?

Well, you can get Sealy mattresses at Costco (look near the checkout -- an extended price list is by the safes). There is also one upstairs for testing, kind of off at the end of an aisle near the furniture.

We bought our mattress at a store in the Sindang area, down a back alley. I walked all around through that area and found a place that had several from a German company downstairs. To be honest, I got the feeling that it's actually a Chinese-maker passing themselves off as a German company, though. I paid 350,000 and got a queen-sized one.

2001 OUTLET has the best deal on beds and mattresses (with box springs) that I've seen in Seoul. There's one located out exit 1 of DangSan Station on the Green #2 line.

I have a double mattress (but no frame) for free if you want(sheets too if you want). I can help arrange for transportation, but you will have to pay for that. I live near sinsa (line 3) or Nonhyun (line7) stations.

Send a PM if you're interested. or email me at [email protected]
