Queen bed and base

Steven from Richmond

I purchased this bed earlier in 2018 because my bed was falling apart and I just decided I needed to upgrade.
I chose this bed because it is firm but also soft as with the memory foam it will shape to your body.

I purchased this bed earlier in 2018 because my bed was falling apart and I just decided I needed to upgrade.
I chose this bed because it is firm but also soft as with the memory foam it will shape to your body.
The bed has a winter and a summer season side. Winter season holds more heat and summer season has a cooling gel in bedded.

I just moved to Christchurch and the bed is too big for my room. I have to sadly say goodbye to it.
But this just means you can enjoy it for less than I purchased it for. Retail price for the bed is $695 + $200 for the base. I am selling it for $525 (ONO) including base. Which is a pretty sweet deal.

Comes with a 4 & 1/2 year warranty

Comes with all legs, packaged up as per photos. No stains no rips or tears.
Comes from a smoke free environment.

I know someone else on trademe who. Can deliver between Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru, and as far North as Kaikoura.
Or
Pick up Richmond, Christchurch.
Please offers or questions below.

I'm Jasmine, the Volunteer Coordinator for Dementia Canterbury, and I am seeking more transport volunteers to enable our clients to attend activity groups that make a real difference to their lives. Transport is a huge barrier for our clients, as many have lost their licences and are unable to take public transport. If you have a couple of hours a week or fortnight to spare, I'd love to hear from you! We offer comprehensive training, and our current volunteers say that it's an amazing opportunity to meet really interesting people and make a difference in their lives. Give me a call on 03 379 2590 ext. 215 or email jasmine@dementiacanterbury.org.nz.

Just as honeybees pollinating orchards provide a service that benefits humans through fruit production, birds provide a valuable service too. What native birds do you see in your garden?

Hey neighbours,

The proposed South Express cycleway, which links Templeton to Hagley Park, will turn sections of residential streets into culs-de-sac and also see about 65 trees replaced.

New traffic signals will be added at 11 intersections along the route.

The work is part of the council's $252m major cycleways programme that will see suburbs connected to the central city through 13 separate routes.

What do you think of the plans? How will the roading changes affect you? Do you think this is the best use of the NZ Transport Agency's funding?

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?
