Heathcotes (local to me) has a Series 6 for $1699 currently, however I need to actually confirm our old one is broken.. we haven't used it since the other night. Do you remember where you bought your Miele from?

I don't think it comes or goes back through the normal couriers 😂I know the likes of Ecosa usually just donate the returned mattresses to the salvation army and just get them to pick it up in their trucks. We're thinking of getting a latex one from peacelily.co.nz. And also trying to figure out how to dispose of our old mattress if we do keep it!

I just ordered the Miele online. I installed it myself and disposed of the old one ourself (after it spent ages in the shed). Councils usually have tips on disposing of whiteware.

Wow, they must have massive markup or maybe just a low return rate.

You might also be able to donate it! If not, $1reserve on trademe.

I see. Only thing it's a big hassle to take it to the recycling place here, not sure it fits in our car and no tow bar either. I did find out that it's only $30 for Heathcotes to do old appliance removal if I buy through them though.

Haha I have heard before you can get the Ecosa mattresses cheaper by looking for the returned ones at salvation army stores. Not sure if that's still the case. Anyway I'd prefer full latex vs memory foam type which we've had for a long time already. I don't know I feel kind of bad to give an unsupportive mattress away to someone knowing they'll be waking up with sore backs sooner or later 😂

Honestly I think you'll likely pay $20-30 regardless so if you aren't paying extra to buy through them then that's probably a pretty good deal.

Different people like different mattresses. It might be their jam. Or might be for a guest room that doesn't get slept in often. Or they might be young, young people can sleep anywhere and not even notice.
