Gee I got sucked in by the advertising! On the ad for Sanitarium they say it was a NZ started company, but they don't say the same guy started the same company in Aus several years prior. And they definitely don't say that they are wholly owned by Seventh Day Adventist church and don't pay tax in either country! No wonder they always seem to be doing well.

Trill, with the bed have you looked online for local mattress producers? Even with delivery it can end up cheaper. I got W's bed (inner sprung mattress and base) delivered for $700 which was the cheap end of what was in the shops and the quality is way better. I shopped around when I was getting a bed for A, but to get one of a similar quality I would have had to pay double so I ordered the same one again.
