Recently moved near Madrid’s warehouse district and wanted to get a hard mattress for my new home. As someone accustomed to sleeping on firm beds, soft mattresses are really uncomfortable for me and cause back pain. After exploring the warehouse area, I found quite a few mattress stores here with prices significantly lower than the city center. Today I’m sharing my shopping experience.
Mattress Store Distribution in the Warehouse District
Madrid’s warehouse district is mainly concentrated in the San Blas and Vicálvaro areas, where you’ll find several large furniture warehouse stores, similar to where I found computer equipment in Madrid’s warehouse district. I visited three main stores: Colchón Express, Dormitorum, and a local independent shop. Colchón Express had the widest selection of hard mattresses, ranging from €150 to €800, and the staff were helpful, encouraging you to lie down and test them. Dormitorum had slightly higher prices but offered longer warranty periods.
Hard Mattress Price Comparison
I compared several mattresses with firmness levels between H3 and H4 and found significant price variations. Here’s a simple comparison table I put together:
| Brand | Size | Firmness | Price (€) |
|---|
| Flex | 150×190 | H4 | 420 |
| Pikolin | 135×190 | H3 | 380 |
| Local Brand | 150×190 | H4 | 280 |
As the table shows, local smaller brands offer much better value for money. I ended up choosing a hard mattress from that local shop, paying €280 for a 150×190 H4 firmness mattress. The owner mentioned it was manufactured in their own factory and the quality seemed solid.
Shopping Recommendations
When buying a hard mattress, you must try lying on it yourself—everyone’s perception of firmness differs. I recommend lying down for at least 10 minutes to feel the support for your lower back and shoulders. Warehouse district stores tend to be busier on weekends, so I suggest visiting on weekdays for a more relaxed shopping experience. Additionally, many stores offer free delivery, but confirm the delivery area beforehand.
Regarding delivery, my mattress arrived three days after ordering, and two workers helped carry it up to the third floor. Some stores in [Madrid’s warehouse district] charge extra for stair carrying, so remember to ask before placing your order. I used to think only IKEA was affordable, but the warehouse district actually offers better prices.
Buying a hard mattress in Madrid’s warehouse district is an excellent choice—affordable prices, wide selection, and good service. If you’re also looking for a hard mattress, or even exploring options like clothing wholesale in Madrid, you can visit on the weekend and might find great deals. Feel free to leave comments with questions, and I’ll do my best to respond.
