I'm about to order a bed from Warren Evans

I'd like to order a mattress at the same time, can anyone tell me if this looks any good? http://www.warrenevans.com/mattresses/coil_sprung_mattresses/luxury_mattress/

Its a double, but it will just be me sleeping in it most of the time, which is why i chose open coil sprung... but will 'medium firm' be good enough to stop me developing back problems?

That is very very expensive for a medium open coil sprung mattress.

Hi i was thinking of £300 tops but for full single bed not just the mattress, don't know what to get for the best he doesn't want the foam on the top so i was thinking of either open coil or pocket sprung which do you recommend? am i way off the mark with my budget? . thanks again:beer:

For that budget you will get a better quality from an open coil mattress, rather than trying to find a budget pocket sprung version. £300 should be fine for a single, and you should even have some change depending whether you want drawers in the base or not?! Based on the suggestions for brands I posted earlier, try and find a local bed store to try them out, then you can search for the better deals online

I bought the Calypso after doing a lot of research and also taking into account your thread in 2007 wherein you extolled the virtues of the Calypso. Unfortunately I did not read, until now, that they've changed the spec of it and that you don't recommend it anymore. With the electric blanket and thin duvet on top to cover over the wires I must say that I am extremely happy with the mattress as it is and wouldn't change it in any way. It must in the end be down to the individual's needs as we are all made so differently.

I could stay in bed all day now and with the electric blanket to take off the chill - so snug when we get in - perrrrrrrrrfect.

You may still find the mattress very comfortable. However you won't be benefiting from the memory foam. So you have basically just got a memory foam mattress now.

You can get a top of the range single open coil sprung divan set for under £200.

Or you can get a good quality pocket sprung one for around £300.

You will get better quality, and more for your money if you don't go for the big names.

How much are they charging, and do you have a link?
