Which mattress? (merged threads)

Ok, I think this might be the mattress for me!
I would love some thoughts from people on the following:

Harrison Classic (regular firmness) double mattress for £369. Nice thing is, it would be from a local independent stockist. Like to support the small firms where possible.
Any comments appreciated.

Does the mattress you mentioned several [STRIKE]hundred[/STRIKE] thousand posts earlier exist yet? It was seasonal, with foam one side, & non-foam the other.

Finally, would you be able to recommend a type of mattress for me & the OH please? We have a beautiful metal bed frame - sadly of not such great quality. It has wood slats to which we have added more. I was about to buy a foam mattress topper, but after reading this epic, I see we'd be better off with a new mattress.

OH is a very hot sleeper, & of heavy build. I'm smaller than him , pregnant, uncomfortable & cold. Is there any hope, or shall we get separate beds now?

Just quoting myself....there's pregnancy brain for you .
We now desperately need a new mattress asap. Not only am I now very very very pregnant, something in our mattress is eating me. Am getting exterminators by the weekend, and want a new mattress asap after that. Our bed frame is slatted, but we can add more slats easily (already have, but I think I recall a pocket sprung needs more....). With the new developments I am after a mattress that repels bugs preferably

I have posted this again as I left out some details.

Harrison Classic (regular firmness) double pocket sprung mattress for £369. Nice thing is, it would be from a local independent stockist. Like to support the small firms where possible.
It has 1000 springs, is turnable, and has hand stitching on the side walls - all good things according to this thread.
Any comments appreciated.

whats the best divan to get underneath all these matresses - Tim can you help - can you get these seperately or do they have to be bought togther

I saw a divan base in John lewis for £244 which was sprung then thought would buy a replacement mattress when I can afford one - pref after xmas.

My main issue is that have a silent night bed - yes i know sh*te but came with flat - the base has snapped on the lower side on both left and right sides.

was looking at pocket sprung mattress to buy next month for £440 http://www.johnlewis.com/230217303/Product.aspx unless there is acheaper better mattress out there? - dont like memory foam feels weird cant get used to it would be happy with something medium firmness pocket sprung

It's not a bad price for a Harrison (they are normally over priced), especially from a shop. Is it ex display?

I can't recommend anything, but please shop around on line. £440 is way over priced, especially as it appears to be the reflex foam encapsulated smaller pocket spring type (that normally come cheaper than proper pocket springs).

and as I'm on the London/kent borders wouldn't they be high priced anyway!?

Not in your area. Like you say, they will cost a fortune.
