Among many other things, JB is known for being a haven for acquiring quality trending furniture at budget prices. One such place in JB that exemplifies this is Ruma Home, which you can find a 20-minute drive from the causeway at the Paradigm Mall.
The store layout even takes inspiration from IKEA, guiding customers through various sections dedicated to different types of furniture. Additionally, staged apartments allow visitors to visualise how the furniture would appear in a real home setting.
PSA: Ruma Home now delivers to Singapore too!
Trendy furniture dupes from as low as RM399
With a large selection of furniture, it’s no surprise that Ruma Home’s catalogue houses a wide selection of trendy designs. The bonus here is the affordable prices these pieces go for.
One example of such is its Eliza snow 3-seater sofa (RM2,300), which follows the prototypical design of the ever-popular boucle sofa. In comparison, the boucle sofa from Castlery costs a prettier penny, with its comparatively heftier price tag of $1,600 SGD, costlier by 40%.

Alternatively, you could take a look at the Troy dining table (RM1,350), Ruma Home’s take on a wooden bench Dining table with metal legs. A similar piece from Kave Home in Singapore would set you back quadruple the cost, at nearly $1,600SGD.

Bonus: Considering the sheer value of buying popular furniture dupes from Ruma Home, we think that the Sophie Ebony Bistro Chair (RM 430) or Hampton Console Table (RM 1490) may also interest you.
Huge range of chairs from RM79
Another interesting chunk of Ruma Home’s catalogue comes from its wide array of chairs reminiscent of those from IKEA. From outdoor lounge chairs to adorable kids chairs like the ones pictured above, the selection will leave you spoiled for choice.
One particularly attractive choice is the Gaia Ebony Chair (RM259), a comfortable chair that still remains stylish, with its foam padded cushion lined with velvet fabric upholstery.
Another piece that complements a classy aesthetic would be the Otto Modern Rustic Coffee Table (RM999). Sporting a recycled pine frame and oak veneer tabletop, the Otto Modern is a sustainable take on a classic Mid-Century-Modern piece.
Affordable ergonomic mattresses from RM990
A bed, and by extension, its mattress, literally puts the “bed” in a “bedroom”. Ruma Home clearly understands this, with its selection of mattresses suitable for every need.
Take the Vono SpinePro 800 (RM1299 at single size), with its unique spring system and high-tensile steel border frame resulting in excellent lumbar support for those with back pains. Alternatively, those who suffer from night sweats can opt for the Frio Cool Gel Memory Foam mattresses (RM999 at single size), offering heat absorption features.
As is the case with most products at Ruma Home, buying a mattress here is considerably more affordable, being at least $100 cheaper across the board. The store even offers a firmness indicator so a comparison between each mattress is less elusive.
