Mattress Swap

How does a mattress swap work?

All you need to do is to take the worn-out mattress to any of our depots or showroom nationwide. Our service personnel will simply weigh the mattress with a weighing scale and then multiply the weight by our “swap cost” (subject to change) to give the “swap value” of your mattress. For instance if our swap cost is N500/kg and your mattress weighs 50kg, then your swap value will be (50kg X 500) which gives a total swap value of N25,000. You can then use it to either purchase a new product(s) of the same value or you add to it to upgrade to a higher valued product.
