WANTED A QUEEN MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS

Helena from Morningside

Looking for a new memory foam queen size mattress. Any suggestions where to purchase? There is Ecosa and I am thinking about them but just wondered if anyone knew of anywhere else who might sell them a bit cheaper? Obviously in Auckland would be great.

It’s a lovely old one that’s been in my family for years but the reason it’s free is that it’s a semi tone out and can’t be tuned perfectly due to its age. Still plays well but my son’s piano teacher says ‘it’s in tune with itself, just not the rest of the world’. A great way to start out if you have the space, some muscle and can borrow a trailer.
