Hey,
I wonder if anyone out there knows where I could buy a pillow top mattress. I'm spending $200 a month on chiropractors because of a sore back, and figure I may as well just invest in a really good mattress. A place that delivers would be best. I live in Itaewon.
Thanks for your help,

| Now sure about pillow-top, but you could try Costco. I saw a bunch of good mattresses there. |

Make your own. I recently bought a 7cm memory foam mattress and threw it on top of my regular mattress and put fitted sheets over it (from back home). Works great, very comfortable and soft.
I got a queen size on Gmarket for around 150,000 or so. If you've got a smaller bed, they can be quite a bit cheaper. |

Agreed. I did a similar thing by buying a natural latex pad and putting it over my mattress. Works wonders. |

Good suggestion with the mattress cover. I have done that since September, but now my back is hurting again. Feels great everytime I stay at a hotel for a night or two and sleep on a good mattress, so I feel it's the mattress to blame for the back pain.
Might try Homeplus. Looked at Gmarket, but that sight is beyond confusing. |

Not a mattress cover. An actually memory foam mattress
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=222645198
This is the one I bought. It's basically the same as a pillow-top.
5cm foam mattress, +2 cm cover (1 cm top and bottom) underneath the sheets. It's a totally different bed. |

| We bought one at the Livart furniture store a couple of years ago. It's one of their own mattresses. It has a 3 inch wool pillow on top. It's not as soft as the top of the line Sealy we checked (which had a thicker layer of wool on top), but it's still excellent and it was several hundred thousand won cheaper. |

Hey, thanks for your help! Will look into that one on Gmarket tomorrow at work. Where is there a Liveart store? Or any mattress store? I spent the weekend asking people and no one seemed to know.
Thanks again! |
