Lady Americana Mattress

Besides putting $200 deposit for Korean curtain at EXPO Furniture Fair, we also purchase the mattress with the storage bed for our master bedroom. We're not so sure whether our room could fit king size, so we just paid for Queen size and we'd an option to upgrade it to King size by topping up $300. 

Our previous mattress brand was Simmons, which was recommended by my ex-colleague 6 years ago. She told me that best mattress in Singapore brands started with 'S' which were Sealy, Simmons and Serta. It was an awesome and very comfortable mattress with good support for my back. Another thing I like was it was great to minimise motion, therefore I could sleep without much disturbance.

 Actually, we never heard about this mattress brand, Lady Americana.

It was recommended by the sofa sales guy after we told him that we still unable to decide which type of sofa we want. Knowing that we're looking for Simmons mattress, he told us that Lady Americana was having a good deal. He then directed us to the mattress' sales guy at another counter...

We're quickly attended by the sales guy and asked us to feel the firmness of 3 different mattresses by lying down on the back, on the sides or our normal sleeping position. Then he told us that although we never heard their brand because they didn't advertise, but five stars hotels in Dubai using their superior quality mattresses and charging thousand over dollars per night...

For Furniture Fair promotion, the mattress came with free bed frame. We told him that we didn't need the frame as we need to make a platform because we have lots of things to store inside. He then showed us that they have storage bed frame that suits our needs. 

 

Four panels of blackboard are also removable to make it easier to clean 

without the need to move the heavy bed frame.

 Bedframe is specially customised according to the colors and design 

we want. The hydraulic system installed on top of the storage making

it easy to lift up the heavy mattress.

King Size Bed frame + Lady Americana Royal Premium +

Free 2 Pillows $3,599.00

Took me few weeks for my body to adjust to the firmness of this bed. It's definitely not as good as Simmons, which I think because the padded top layered on the mattress. 

It's too hard to buy bed sheet as the thickness is 33cm (13 inch). We bought a set during Robinson Sale in Expo which cost about $150. It's one size fits all King Size thickness up to 50cm, but don't really like it. It's too loose that need frequent tuck-in to make it neat as it kept dropping out.

Apart from those, I like it as I can have more space to roll around and I like the hydraulic pull-up storage. It save us about $2,500 to make the platform bed.

Bedsheet + quilt cover + 4 pillow cases: $110.00

Managed to customised this Korean Fluffy Velvety Princess bedsheet with 60cm skirting flowing down from mattress to floor. I like it much because it fits perfectly so no need to tidy up the bed every morning.Love snuggling or cocooning myself inside the blanket and gazing out the window... Everyday is a beautiful day~!

Korean Curtains and Blinds

Initially, we would like to selected curtains and blinds based on the colors for the rooms and matching it with the designs. Not to mentioned that they'll accompany us for shopping, Sky Creation kept us waiting for the 3D drawings for 5 weeks and came out not what we wanted. We assumed that they won't waste the time knowing that we'd paid deposits and they won't earn commission from the suppliers.

So, we went to Wink Curtains to select the designs we like. They'd already took the measurements one month ago. They were quite surprised as we still haven't received the 3D, because the sales guy went to our house on the same day that our ID came to take measurements too.

Anyway, they managed to expedite our order done within 2 weeks and had the curtain and blinds installed on the day we move in. Phew... we almost had to stay in the aquarium with no privacy as people could see clearly our house through the glass windows.

We went to EXPO for Furniture Fair and something interesting caught our eyes hen the sales guy introduced us Unislat Korean Curtain.

 Impressive and smartly combining of day and night curtains into a piece of fabric

where you can easily adjustable amount of light streaming into the room.

It helps to circulate the air in the room and filter out harsh
light and heat while leaving the windows open.

Love the way I can walk pass through every single panel

of each fabric without the need to open the curtain.

With variety of choices, you can mix and match with  

different patterns of fabric or colors.

 We selected Arch pattern with combination colors of

 Charcoal - Coffee - Charcoal.

Soft and light material and make the room looks airy.

It's also coated with anti-pollutant to prevent dust and dirt.

The sales guy suggested us to store the curtain together at one side, 

instead of separated them at both sides. 

Therefore you can see the combination colors of Charcoal - Coffee - Charcoal and not only Charcoal and Coffee. As we planned to do the cabinet on the left wall, we draw the curtain to the right wall. Mostly the curtain position is like the above photo which covering 1/4 of the windows.

For Master bedroom, we prefer to use Roman Blinds like our previous house.

This Roman Roller Blinds is way more advance. It's like a big piece of canvas without seeing the partitions using the roller. The roller mechanism is made in Germany which  easier and smooth to pull out without need to use much strength.

Unlike normal fabric, they use something like faux leather which is more stylish

and able to screen out 99% of light. Total privacy as nobody can see through it.

Korean Blinds for my daughter's room.

My daughter like purple color, so we got her this new design
Pleated design (CB951 Purple) for her room.

There are few new collections of Korean blinds, which come with more colors.

This blind has 3 shades of blue instead just one color and mesh.

 Korean Blinds - 3D Nature (CB457 Blue).

Pleated blind and Unislat curtain same price, and this nature blind is cheaper. Frankly speaking, I prefer this one than pleated blind. The colors look nicer from the outside, whereas pleated blind not so obvious.

But we had a small problem with the roller, the installer guy told us that the blind is too heavy for such a big window. He said it's better to have 2 rollers and make a small roller for the window that can be opened. It's too late as the sales guy who should have experience said it's alright to just have one roller in this room.

Total cost for installing curtains and blinds: $3,300
