Last season I did see a matress/bed shop in Apora; on the left as you head from Calangute going towards Anjuna.
Hi Phil,
There are several places that sell sprung mattresses around the Calangute area. (I don't know about South Goa though.)
I bought one last November from an open air type shop not far from the Calangute roundabout on the Candolim road. It cost about £40 and was heaven to sleep on after the previous rock hard mattress!!

Hi Dragon, thought you still had to make the beds.
The sprung mattresses do come in a range of sizes but remember in Goa the norm seems to be only 6 or 6.3 foot long and we had to order our 6.6 ones but that was a few years ago. They now also come different thickness and quantity's.
We like fitted sheets and bought them from the UK as the sizes and quantity is so much better than the local stuff

thanks squids i know the shop you mention.
There a loads of shops that sell sprung mattesses now, one by Mapusa Residency, another in the shops round by the fish market and the first place to have them Habitat on the main road just past Parra, they do free delivery
Cotton fitted sheets in Ikea today - £1.50 each - cheaper than t-towels!!!
We bought wonderful fully sprung matresses imported from Germany when we bought our apartment - sold it to an Indian couple who could not sleep in the beds for the first couple of weeks as they were too soft !!
When we told them how much they cost (about the price of one charter holiday - honestly ) they decided they could sleep on them after all and now they tell us how good their sleep is.
