A lot of things are a premium when you live on a massive Island nation that is basically seperated from the rest of the world.  And yeah thats Australian dollars.  Im not too shocked at the pricing, its right in line with the inflated cost of vehicles they have to endure as well.

Right now the conversion rate for Australia Dollars is about 15%.   So a $3700. bed in Australia would still be $3200. US dollars.    Pricey!

again its not just the conversion that effects the price.

The VW I wanted to purchase  was about 33k CDN funds, versus about 25K in the US with similar options.  The Canadian dollar is at about 95 cents on the dollar right now.  Yet a massive difference in funds.

i know its pricey BUT we sell the only organic pure natural latex not synthetic talalay which is full of fillers and ammonia and formaldehyde!! we also sell talalay but why would you want to buy 40% latex when latex gold is 93% rubber and 7% calcium carbonate.. and our beds are finished correctly, theyre not just cores. have a look at the sensorzone gear.
