What's with all the hate, People? I wish I had known about Raha's more deluxe line of mattresses when we lived in Oman. I love to see Omani companies that MAKE stuff get some credit. I'd like to see more reports and information on local Omani companies that actually make stuff not related to the oil and gas sector.

Thanks Sythe. Nice reporting.

2012-01-11T22:21:15.289+04:00

I heard that Raha used to make simmons, but perhaps the licensing fee was not worth it, and besides, my Raha 5* mattress is amazing, had it 3 years. For those people like Sythe originally who buy the cheap 50-70 rial Raha mattresses, well you get what you pay for.

An equivalent mattress from beautyrest or simmons would probably be around RO 700+, so it's a great deal, I'll buy another Raha for sure.

I found it ineresting. I knew they were Omani because they had a "made in Oman" tag on them but I didn't know where their factory was. I am glad because all made-in-uae mattresses I have tried (of course not the imported ones) have been terribly hard.

OCI yes, I really went to the factory and had a tour, and I really enjoyed it.

Fatewm, its in a shop above Darcys kitchen in shatti. Between spa and jewelry stores on right side as you go upstairs. I think its a travel agent or something, but they are the IKEA order people.

Avoid 3 star Raha mattresses at all costs!!

4 star is in a different league altogether. Very comfortable, and at a good price.

Proud to be Omani! I love Raha mattresses they really are super comfy. We've had guests from Bahrain recently and they were all wondering where we got our mattresses from.

Quick question, what's the Ikea order catalog you mentioned in Shatti?

Thanks for this great post, it *does* sound like a paid ad but it's truly worth the hype!

2012-01-11T00:19:28.641+04:00

About 6 years ago, when I was living in the UAE, I splurged on a weekend at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Dubai. I loved the bed, so asked the manager what kind it was. He gave me the contact info for the Poly Products rep in UAE. I met him and he proudly gave me tour of his warehouse and explained how the various mattresses were made. I ordered a mattress set just like the one in the hotel + headboard. The mattress is a Simmons, made in Oman, and I still have it here, back in its native land. Every night I am so thankful. A super quality product!

Dear Me... mutter mutter mutter, it's all what you can utter, and this is time it's all boggy clutter!

Are you ever going to say something sensible here beyond tacky marketing for a little freebie.

2012-01-10T15:27:52.362+04:00

Hi! I wonder why you say "people are hating it as usual". Its a nice post and I love omani English Blogs and how the bloggers in muscat network though I haven't really participated in any of them.

Most of the upholstery and mattresses we have had in the nearly 2 decades of growing up here have been from Raha and its truly a good quality product like most Omani products, if I may say so.

Expatmummy - "LOL" is a strange comment.

To the Anonymous commenter.... OHI Group as far as I know have absolutely nothing at all to do with Poly Products International, and if you even read the article you would have known I got this mattress, through paying for it, 8 months ago.

I hope my article is actually of some use to someone, but I see people are hating as usual.
