'Get paid to sleep! Earn $3,000 just by "lazing around" in bed' — SG mattress retailer offers the ultimate "Dream Job" in Singapore
Photo: IG screengrab/woosasg SINGAPORE: If you've ever been told to 'stop lazing around in bed!' and 'go get a job!' here's your chance to prove that sometimes, staying under the covers is indeed the job. In an Instagram post, mattress retailer Woosa declared: 'Get paid to sleep! Earn up to $3,000 just by lounging in bed, because we believe that rest should be just as rewarding. You may have spotted us before, with live dreamers snoozing away at Suntec, Jurong Point, or Waterway Point — are you our next Dreamer?' So the company is now scouting for its next batch of 'Dreamers' — the lucky ones who'll be paid up to $3K just to sleep on their beds. Yes, you read that right: you snooze, you earn! Applicants can sign up via the link in Woosa's Instagram bio. Shortlisted candidates will then be invited for a brief in-person interview. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Woosa Sleep (@woosasg) The new job is part of Woosa 's upcoming roadshow from Sept 8 to 14, though — in a plot twist worthy of a mystery novel — they haven't yet revealed the next exact location. It's still on the 'coming soon' status at the moment. Not just any napper will do… Before you start practising your best sleeping position, know this: Competition could be fierce. Not everyone with the ability to nod off in record time will make the cut. The idea is equal parts marketing spectacle and lifestyle statement: Showcasing their mattresses while reminding everyone that rest is not a luxury — it's a necessity. Is there a sudden nap industry boom? This isn't the first time a brand has dangled a paycheck for shut-eye. According to an AsiaOne news report, earlier in July, lifestyle furniture retailer Yogibo also advertised for professional nappers. Their gig required candidates to spend two to three hours a day sleeping on beanbags — for S$7 an hour — as part of a campaign to promote 'the value of rest as a part of daily life.' While Yogibo 's offer sounds like a cushy side hustle, Woosa 's up-to-S$3,000 deal easily takes the crown for Singapore's most lucrative lie-down.

Whether you're a seasoned weekend napper, a Netflix-binge-crasher, or simply someone who treats the snooze button like a life philosophy, this could be your moment. So, if your dream job has always been literally dreaming on the job, this is it. Sign up, show up, and — if you're lucky — drift off into a payday worth bragging about.

Legendary Hong Kong has 2 outlets situated in the West — one at Jurong Point and another 'classics' concept over at Rochester Park — not very fair for the rest of us, is it? 10 years have passed since the opening of their flagship branch, and finally, a new one is landing in Tampines Mall at the end of July. Easties now have another reason to flaunt their food offerings (envious!). Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, as this will be the largest outlet yet. It boasts 188 seats, with a nostalgic cha chaan teng theme, complete with retro tiles and booth seats.

Rest assured you're in good hands as he places great emphasis on using only the finest ingredients flown in directly from Hong Kong. This way, guests can enjoy a recreated HK dine-in experience that stays true to its identity. Given that this is a new branch, are there any dishes that will be unique to this outlet alone? Yes! There are 14 exclusive items to get giddy over! Here's a little teaser on what you can expect. Xiao long bao fans can marvel over the XL-sized Big Soup Dumplings, packed with twice the amount of meat and broth for double the indulgence. Kids will love the red Lychee Prawn Balls— they're crispy, packed with succulent prawns, and perfect for dipping into creamy mayo. You can also enjoy the Pandan Rice Rolls with Crispy Prawn Rolls or taste the nuttiness of the Golden Sesame Ball.

Swee Heng Introduces More Toast & Roll Locations Islandwide
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 June 2025 - Swee Heng Group is expanding its new bakery concept, Toast & Roll, with several new outlets opening across Singapore in 2025. The brand's latest retail expansion aims to introduce a modern, grab-and-go bakery experience to more neighbourhoods, following a strong customer response to its first few locations. Bringing a Fresh Concept to Familiar Neighbourhoods Initially launched to provide a new experience distinct from Swee Heng's existing brands like Swee Heng 1989 Classic, Toast & Roll has grown steadily since its debut. The company has opened outlets at Jurong Point, Oasis Terraces, Tampines MRT, Novena Square, and Bedok Mall. This year, upcoming locations are set to open at The LINQ @ Beauty World, Lentor Modern, West Mall, and Heartland Mall Kovan. The decision to expand Toast & Roll stems from evolving consumer preferences, particularly a demand for bakery products that are not only high in quality but also lifestyle-oriented and convenient. With a broadened menu focusing on toasts and cake rolls but complemented by croissants, Danish pastries, tarts, and festive exclusives, the brand looks to tap into a growing appetite for artisanal, portable baked goods with a modern twist. ' Toast & Roll is perfectly positioned to meet these expectations, especially with our Research and Development team constantly innovating and adapting to global influences,' shared a spokesperson from Swee Heng Group. 'This growth journey allows us to stay ahead of consumer trends and present new ideas in a form that's exciting, modern, and highly relatable.' Creating Value for All Stakeholders However, the value does not end with the customer. This retail expansion is also slated to create opportunities for employees through internal mobility, cross-training, and leadership development across outlets. For stakeholders, the growth supports long-term brand equity by enhancing visibility and improving the innovation pipeline. Each new outlet contributes to the company's operational scale, helping Swee Heng respond quickly to market changes while ensuring consistency across service and quality. New Loyalty App to Enhance Customer Experience Alongside this broader retail expansion, Swee Heng is also preparing to launch a new loyalty app that will integrate rewards and payment functions across all brands within the Group. Designed to streamline the customer experience, the app will allow users to earn and redeem points, make in-app payments, and purchase or gift vouchers. By offering these functions on a single platform, the brand aims to enhance convenience while encouraging greater engagement across outlets, including Toast & Roll. It also reflects Swee Heng's ongoing efforts to strengthen its digital presence and provide customers with a more seamless and connected way to interact with its offerings. Positioning for Long-Term Growth Despite facing challenges such as location scouting, recruitment, and operational alignment, Swee Heng has leveraged its experience and infrastructure to support a smooth rollout of the new Toast & Roll outlets. A spokesperson for the company noted, ' Toast & Roll is a strong example of our ability to move beyond traditional formats and launch bold, differentiated concepts that still align with our heritage and quality standards. Its success and expansion reinforce our position as a brand builder with an innovative edge.' By developing a brand that both complements and refreshes its core identity, Swee Heng aims to continue shaping bakery trends in Singapore while extending its market presence and industry relevance.

'I'm hungry. Cannot meh?!' — Stranger who snatched toast and walked away from diner at Toast Box asks
Photo: Toast Box FB SINGAPORE: A diner patronising the Toast Box outlet at Jurong Point was left speechless after a stranger snatched food off her tray. The diner told citizen journalism portal Stomp that the incident took place on Sunday afternoon (June 1), around 12:30 p.m. She said, 'This auntie sat at the table next to my family for quite some time. She didn't order anything to eat or drink. Then suddenly, she stood up, stretched her hands across to our table, snatched a piece of our peanut toast, ate it, and walked away!' The diner added, 'We were too shocked to react.' Interestingly, the family bumped into the same woman at the same outlet looking for another target, around the same time the next day. The diner decided to confront the woman and demanded an explanation from the stranger for her behaviour. Instead of apologising or expressing remorse, the woman allegedly shouted, 'I am hungry and I want to eat! Cannot meh?!' The diner urged Singaporeans to beware of such individuals. She added, 'Her hands are so fast! … much faster than crows snatching food!'
