Queen and Twin Colchon
 

Anyone know the price for a queen and twin mattresses? I will be needing to buy one of each very soon. Cheers.

Where are you north or south and what town for a better answer

it depends on what you are looking for. ikea catalog will give you a basic idea of pricing: http://www.ikea.com.do/catalogos/pdf/colchones2012.pdf

Opps, forgot to say, in Santiago, LLanos de Gurabo to be more precise.

@Dv8, thanks, basically the reason I posted this is because I initially saw those catalogs and found the prices for the colchones pretty high IMO. I hope Im not wrong.

ikea prices are very much ok for normal mattresses, new. because memory foam mattresses can easily get to a 100.000 pesos. DR caters to everyone, you can find something at any budget, really: from used (re-filled and re-covered) to some high class imported stuff.
we bought ours in santiago, actually, in plaza texas. there is a nice shop there. you can lie down and try their models. they have cheaper and expensive, all sizes. free delivery and a discount upon cash purchase.

Mattresses for those sizes will start around RD3000 and top out around RD8000-9000 for the better "locally made" queens. My advice is to lay on them first before using. I just bought one close for RD5000. It's ok, but the design is behind the times. You can actually see them build one for you if you want.

The imported ones will be a whole lot more.

chip! what on earth? our king size was about 25-30k pesos (can't remember) and i thought i was a good price. 5k pesos for a mattress? is it a slab of sponge sewed inside few old t-shirts?

I forgot to add they are locally made. They are done with new materials but the design is the older type of course.

so, in other words: used and refurbished?
i did mention you can get something at any price, really. but i'll take new, thanks.

I have bought a king-size, pillow top, back in 2007 for around 14.000 pesos, new. It's still serving its duty.

Where did I say used materials deary?????

Do you actually think they are going to assemble your mattress right in front of you with used materials?? http://www.dr1.com/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif

use mattress. doh!

Where?

I bought a Simmons twin for about 13000 pesos en sleep center (Nunez de Caceres in SD), just a month ago. Slightly regret it, it's a lot harder than the one I tried in the store and besides the mattress is much higher (thicker) than other mattresses. Should have bought a sealy.

I don't know what they offer but there is a mattress store on Ave Texas, in back of the Politecnica Feminina. I think they have a Sealy sign out front.

In March we bought bunk beds for our grandsons, full on bottom, twin on top. We bought the mattresses at the same place [in Palenque, south coast] - got a gorgeous, comfy, pillow-top full size mattress for about 8,000 pesos, I think the twin was about 3000, not pillow top [for top bunk, rail not that high, with pillow top the kid could fall right off].

At the same time we bought those, La Sirena was running a 20-25% off sale on all name brands [Sealy, etc], so check there too, they had some nice mattresses.

Those are pretty good prices, too bad Im in NY and can't check La Sirena.

The imported mattresses at La Sirena are a lot more than the locals, I'll try to get some prices when I'm out again.

pricesmart also has mattresses. and plaza lama. check the big stores first.

Thanks Dv8....Ive looked but neither have online stores.
