I read this chain of posts before heading out to search for our mattress and I wanted to let you know what we found. We visited Le Cardeuse, Piero and also Rosen. Le Cardeuse for me seemed badly made, I could feel the springs when I felt the edge of the mattress, Piero was recommended to me by an OSDE physician to have the best foam mattress for the spine, although what I really wanted was something that could compare to the technology and quality of my mattresses in england and I did not want the foam mattresses commonly offered here.
Rosen had a showroom which made it easy see the range and the layout of the store explained well the steps up in price and quality and it seemed to be reflective. You can buy a good 160cm by 200cm Rosen mattress for less than 2000 peso, and ours Emocion for around 3000. The website is also excellent to see before you go. They had 30% discount with a Club la Nacion card during October, and 30% off all products with Galicia bank card ongoing on one day a week. They have a large range held in the warehouse, which could be delivered in a couple of days and what they don´t have they can deliver to your door in 20 days.
For me, the things I find frustrating here are the increased costs for using a credit card, even paying in one payment rather than the 6 installments and so on that they expect. Piero and Cardeuse both had this pricing structure, which having a Visa debit and Visa credit card but not an Argentinean bank card or means to withdraw 3000 pesos cash without a fee was quite upsetting for me. The employee in Rosen was helpful, and trustworthy so I can agree with Lea that this for me, was a great experience. I have since seen that there are a lot of mattress stores- Confort Belgrano and others. We didn´t view Simmons but I can only speak of the quality, showroom, staff and experience of those we visited- For me, convenience, availability, being able to see the complete range, not paying more than I need to and always paying something relative to the quality of the item are the most important. Mattress done Fridge Freezer next!
