Please write to Shirley and cc to Jacqui.
I have a Klass Vaki Mattress, size medium, to sell as it is the wrong proportions for me. I used it for about 6 weeks and it was great for my sore arms and shoulders. Unfortunately, the lumbar support area was totally wrong for me. My lower back got sore because I have a very short back from shoulders to waist but quite a long lumbar spine and tailbone. I'm willing to negotiate price & can possibly freight free to main centres. Contact Kat M. ph 04 976 3366 Wngtn. NB note new phone number
Note Selling at a good price, this is a marvellous opportunity for someone.
