On the 4th attempt...

Thu 261109

Yup, on the 4th attempt, our "bedding mission" was finally accomplished...albeit still with a couple of minor inconveniences...

And yup, we finally got to change our old Dreamland "Emerald Rose" spring mattress for a new one! Guess what? It finally ended up with another Dreamland model as the replacement!

Frankly, we tried to get a replacement from all the mattress promotions that came & went. There was Slumberland, Sleepmaker & even Dreamland itself. 1st attempt was a Slumberland. Failed. Got BS from the salesboss. 2nd was kinda distracted. The salesperson was supportive of our need to modify our bed's headboard so as to accomodate the greater heights of newer mattresses. A number of calls. That's that. Nothing came out of them. The 3rd was a promo by a company for Dreamland mattresses. Failed too cos the salesperson failed to also keep to her word. Not even a tinkle in spite of her telling us so affirmatively that they had stock and would deliver the next day! Further, a look-see at mattresses by Sleepmaker on promo did not yield any interest.

Frankly we had hoped for the deal on our 3rd attempt to go through. The mattress height was suitable, with no modifications needed for the headboard of our bed. And most of all, the price was also affordable without having to stretch our budget!

Well, on our way out to run a couple of errands this morning, we saw banners proclaiming the promotion of "branded" mattresses. So, on our way home, we decided to stop at the shop doing the promotion...

The usual question was put to the salesperson as to whether there was existing stock when we saw the same Dreamland model on offer. She re-assured us there was & even was willing to refund our payment if there wasn't! That clinched the deal!

And true enough, the new mattress, a King-sized Dreamland Chiro 5000, was delivered at about 6:30pm today! Have a good look at the pics!

Looks great, right? Definitely much much better than our old one! Yup, RM1399 better! Ha ha!

Main important features are Anti-Dustmite protection, Miracoil posture springing and a plush top! And, of course, the Dreamland quality that we'd been enjoying all these years! For a price we also liked.

Frankly we got this mattress for less than the offer by the 3rd attempt salesperson. And this one came with 2 Dreamland pillows & a bolster FOC! Sometimes it does pay to be patient. Agreed?

However, in our case, it was not patience that paid off but our good luck finally came along...resulting in the successful purchase! A blessing...

Well, we now have a new bed...actually more of a new mattress. Let's hope we will also have good sleep tonight. And for many many nights to come...

Goodnight...and pleasant dreams!

ps. A few minor inconveniences? Yup, actually just one. The FOC pillows & bolster would be supplied later...most probably (if our luck holds out...) tomorrow. At least we got our new mattress this time...which was what we wanted most of all! Of course, what came free would always be welcomed. Agreed? Ha ha!
