What are your requirements?

I'm using a no name brand 'Stylemaster', purchased from Courts years ago and it's still holding up pretty well. I think a lot of what you pay for in a mattress is the marketing cost, especially for the big brands.

I second Mustafa, you'll be able to find a wide assortment of non-food household items there. They've almost everything there, at reasonable prices too. The two mentioned above, but be prepared for lower than K-Mart/Target/Walmart quality and not as good of prices. You're not too far from Mustafa, t...

Shipping furniture overseas is quite costly, have you thought of selling the bed - http://classifieds.singaporeexpats.com/showcat.php/cat/39 - then using the money to buy another when you're back home? I am moving back to the UK and would like to find a company that will ship a king size bed there. ...

I have not discussed anything about reduction in salary as that might be indicating straight away that my work would definitely be not 100% because of the part time program.
