Home Shopping - 2 (Bed room)

Out Bedroom shopping started with mattress and pillows

A good mattress can make you happy for almost 1/2 of your day and makes you ready for the rest of the day.

Duraflex, Sleepwell, Kurl-on, Century, Peps, Spring air and a few others are the available brands

Coir, Foam, Rebounded foam, Spring and combinations of the above are available in every brand

I personally like the idea of combination of various foams, not so interested in coir and not at all in Spring.

There are variety of foams, look for its softness/hardness, smell, temperature qualities, bounce, etc.
A combination of 1 or 2" of soft foam on 4" of hard foam seem to be fine for me.

And then comes the pricing factor. Every brand dealer gives a norm of 10 ~ 20% off on MRP.

I've been poking every shop on my way to office and back.

Finally, Sleep well Duet and 2 pair of pillows. Each of different material and comforts.

TODO: Cot, Table lamp, lamp table, Makeup table, carpet, ceiling sky stickers
