Best Place to Purchase a Mattress in Ensenada?
Looking to stop in Ensenada next month to purchase a good mattress in Ensenada?
What kind of selection do they have at Costco?

Don't have my receipt handy, but about 8000 pesos for the set......includes tax........I think they also knocked off about 350 pesos when I flashed my
Mexican senior discount card.
Shopped all over Ensenada and found COSTCO to have what I wanted. Segundas have mattress sets that come from US motels/hotels, wrapped in
plastic.....and other stores just have mattresses but no box springs........if all you need is a mattress, you might check the Ensenada Wal-Mart

I had Saul Davis (Saul's Tienda in Mulege) bring me down 2 sets of California Kings about 8 years ago. Great deal and I didn't have to drive more
than 20 miles. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Am I to understand that my "USA" Costco card will not work in Baja?

If I do not have a Costco card, what is the fee to get in the Ensenada store
Or should I just check out Wal Mart across the street if I am only needing a mattress?

Bob just mentioned above, 50 bucks. I just renewed mine at the cash register and I thought that was 30 or so.
Really? You don't have a Costco card? Did you just come out of a twenty year coma?

For what it's worth, no Sam's Club in Ensenada, but two in TJ and one apiece in La Paz and Cabo.

Be aware that all different sizes of mattresses in Baja are different widths, but the lengths are all the same. That means a couple of things. One,
the queen size is queen width, but shorter than American queen length by at least 4 inches. Secondly, American queen sheets will not fit properly
with regard to the length, American queen sheets will be 4 inches or more too long. Witdth OK. I didn't realize that until it was too late. Who
would ever think that Mexican sizes would not be the same as American sizes...weird!
If I had it to do all over again, I would really look hard for the American version of queen size in Baja. They exist, but are really rare. Queen is
already rare enough, King is alot more plentiful for some reason, albeit in the weird short length Mexican version.

yea...we bought all our beds in montclair califorina
then imported them
the only problem is if you haul it yourself
it can get wet and dirty really fast
or
fly out of the truck
lots of accidents every year involving beds
remember "bedman"...
he gave me good advice regarding buying beds
