If you are wondering where to buy a mattress in Dubai you may want to try these three places: The ancient souk The traditional mattress shops which sell hand-weaved mattress IKEA We recently brought two mattresses and haven't found a false note in them in terms of quality. In fact, we found the mattress to be well-weaved and soft to the touch.

The Royal Rest mattress is one of the best options. The price is also reasonable. I am using this for a year.

We got ours at Intercoil. They have a showroom on Umm Suqiem Street opposite the Mall of Emirates. Very good quality for the rather reasonable prices they charge. It pays to visit a range of mattress sellers and test the beds. We found Ikea mattresses to be hard and they were pricier than Intercoil's. But other people love their Ikea mattress. I know someone who got her mattress from Carrefour and is very happy with it. Last but not least: make sure you measure the bed before you buy the mattress. Ikea sizes may not be the same as your bed size. <em>edited by Tallybalt on 02/10/2011</em>

Mattresses really do seem to be one of those "you get what you pay for" items. My children both have IKEA mattresses that were fairly inexpensive and are lasting well. Best mattresses for quality, I think are King Coil.
