I need to buy a new matress but it needs to be a UK size as I do not want to replace the bed. I am looking for someone who has recently moved that is shipping storage to Switzerland, I would like to order a new John Lewis matress and have it shipped over, I would be happy to contribute to the shipping costs

Link didn't work on my phone.
What is the size of the mattress you want to buy?
I will be amazed if you cannot get it here.

I'm looking for a super king

Why? British mattress sizes do not conform with Continental standards. Finding mattresses in Switzerland that fit British beds would be about as likely as buying milk here in quarts.

Get one made up, it's a standard size so really not complicated for a manufacturer.

Elite at Aubonne make mattresses to order

I've decided to bring one over, I don't want one to be made and I don't want to change my linen.mso if anyone does want to share transportation costs I'd be interested

John Lewis Export will do it for you, plus manage the VAT refund for the UK vat. https://www.johnlewis.com/internatio...livery-enquiry


But, do you realise that UK superking is exactly the same size as the 180x 200 beds available in Switzerland?

You can easily buy 180 x 200 mattresses in Switzerland which us the equivalent of a super King is it not?
What is so special about the John Lewis one that makes you want to bring it over here?

Your choice entirely, of course.

Here is the size chart from the White Company UK:

When I bought linen in IKEA it was the wrong size and I was told UK sizes were different. Then someone suggested getting one made.

I don't like IKEA mattresses I've had one before, if I can easily get that size here where would you recommend it get it from, and what are the good swiss brands.

Ikea do quite a range of mattress types now, it it's been a while since you tried one you may be pleasantly surprised.

Elite in Aubonne was already mentionned, but they are expensive (next to IKEA)

You can get all different types of mattresses ( sprung, memory foam, latex etc etc) in all sizes from places like Top Tip or Conforama.

This Robusta one from Top Tip for example

Or this one which is much more expensive

Top Tip have loads of different sorts, just type in the dimensions you want to see what they have.

Conforama has a similar selection and often has an offer on mattresses.

I have seen two trucks from GB Liners in Vaud over the last couple of weeks. If someone is looking at a to/from UK, I would add them to the list as they along with the other one Luker Brothers seem to be active. Luker brothers seem to have a weekly service.

Ikea is a bad example - nothing fits with Ikea so where beds are concerned I don't buy there either. But Ikea is an exception.
(..... and Swedish )

We have been happy with Luker Brothers. They know Swiss law very well.
