    In search for the allusive long queen size mattress

    I am needing to purchase a queen size mattress. Dimensions for mine in the USA is 80" x 60" (203cm x 152.4cm). I am 6ft 4in (193cm) so if I jot down to IKEA I see their mattresses only go to 190cm. When I ask them about special ordering, I find I can't do that. I found another place called Tequila Kola that sells mattresses in this size but I don't have an arm and a leg to spare at this time. They have nice stuff and I might shop there for some things but the mattress is just too expense. Does anybody know of any places that I can talk to via email or website (not in HK yet, plan to arrive end of Aug.) that I could possibly get a mattress in my length? I'm not super picky other than I want it new and not so hard it is like sleeping on the floor. Thanks for the help!

    Big beds

    Give pricerite.com.hk a go. They are located right opposite Ikea in Causeway Bay and we have found them (Ivan in particular on weekends) to be very helpful. (I've seen other stores in Wan Chai and Mong Kok too). My boyfriend is 6.2 so we had the same issue and bought a long queen and I think there were a couple of sizes bigger that you could get. We paid around $5k for the bed frame and mattress but you can get the mattress separate and they had quite a selection.
