| | Shipping from the UK to Vaud?
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

What is the size of the mattress you want to buy?
I will be amazed if you cannot get it here.

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?

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.

| | | | | 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 https://www.toptip.ch/fr/dormir/mate...firm/p/5774091
Or this one which is much more expensive https://www.toptip.ch/fr/dormir/mate...soft/p/5671872
Top Tip have loads of different sorts, just type in the dimensions you want to see what they have. https://www.toptip.ch/fr/dormir/matelas/c/m_0074
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.

But Ikea is an exception.

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