Need a bed? Come and have a chat
Hi neighbours. We would like to introduce ourselves. We are Bob and Brenda Flanagan from The Bed People, your local 100% New Zealand-owned bed store. Our beds and mattresses are made in factories in Auckland and Christchurch, providing jobs for over 400 kiwis.
We have a passion for helping people find the best possible bed to suit their needs and their budget. All of our beds and mattresses are the best available. We have worked with NZ Comfort group, Sleepyhead and Serta to have an enhanced bed and mattress offering which is unique to our stores, employing the latest technology and materials. We offer 'healthy' beds and mattresses free of chemicals which could cause health concerns for our customers.
Pop in and see us at our Te Rapa store - 16 The Boulevard.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
