The sa didn't know how much memory foam was in them she gave me the names of the mattresses and told me to research them on the internet. I can't find any info on either of them though tried goggle & ask. Does anyone know if Staples have a website?

This is the Staples web site http://www.myersbeds.co.uk/sthome.html Yes I know it says Myers, they are the same company.

You will find that there is very little information on their site about individual products.

I'm after a bed and mattress and have a £500 budget. I've been reading this thread a lot and it seems a memory/open coil may be better to go for in my price range than a pocket sprung? Because it'd be the high end of open coil over the low/mid end of pocket? Also is it better to go for a bed frame with a sprung slat base over flat slats? Cheers.

Yes you probably would be better off going for a high end open coil sprung rather than an entry level pocket sprung. Especially as you are looking at beds with slatted bases.

As far as sprung slats go, they are often more expensive that rigid slats, but give a slightly softer feel.

The price looks good, but I'd check out the seller a bit more. They don't appear to have any feedback from bed sales, and most of the feedback they do have is private. Try asking their previous customers.

Looks like it is supposed to be like that.

Good to know, thanks Tim :money:

Tim sells this brand, so wont be able to comment directly due to forum rules. It should be fine, but like Tim says, check the seller out just in case.

The ad states all beds are new.
They also state 100% satisfaction guaranteed and offer to pricematch.

Currently have a king size slumberland silver seal 2400 bed about 8 to 10 years old, the side of the mattress has given way, not sure whether to buy new mattress or new bed, the base is sprung edged and as new, a new mattress is about £400.
This is the most comfortable bed we have ever had so do not wanna make a mistake with a new one, that turns out to be uncomfortable, also not sure if slumberland are still the same quality as they used to be, understand they were bought out about 10 months ago....any ideas gratefully recieved.cheers

Try taking the mattress off the base then looking across the top of the base (top of the base at eye level). Also slide your hand over the top of the base. If there are any dips or any places where you can easily feel the springs then you might as well replace it.

I'm not sure if Slumberland's quality is the same as it was 10 years ago. Some other big brands have dropped their quality. Slumberland is now owned by the Hilding Anders group who also own Myers and Staples. I have noticed more complaints recently about Myers, but they seem to be keeping Staples as their quality bed company. So it all depends on where they see Slumberland in their group. If they are going to be the lower end of the three, then you might be better off shopping around again.
