We know we already like the Silver mattress, it has 1.8/2.0/1.8 gauge springs in its three zones.

 * Gold has 1.8/2.0/1.8/2.0/1.8 gauge in five zones, sounds good
 * Adds edge support which I think is a good feature
 * Adds a pillow top
 * Quilting layer changes from foam, to foam+fibre

== Alternatives also at Sleeping Giant ==

 * $1100 A&S Platinum: like a Gold Plus but with funky high and low springs alternating instead of zoned, and 30% ''more'' springs too, Tencel fibre instead of bamboo
 * $900 Dreamsuite 5: 5 zone, maybe firmer springs (2.0/2.1 gauge?), memory foam in pillow top?
 * $1100 Dreamsuit 7: 7 zone, no further details


= Disposal =

Our apartment block doesn't offer the disposal service any more, but there are alternatives.

 * $55 for takeaway and recycling, available every Tuesday: https://softlanding.com.au/bookings-sydney/
 * Blacktown council also has pickup services, looks like you can book ad-hoc
