    Argh, do you think they'll honour it? I am so fed up of Tesco doing this - basically conning people. It's their fault if they have a glitch/misprice on their website and they shouldn't cancel orders made in good faith!!! :mad:

    They may accept these orders this time??

    Edit: just seen the "new" price - not a genuine bargain for me at this price.

    To be honest I wouldn't even pay the error price for it. The Posturetech spring system is the same as the very unreliable and noisey Miracoil sytem by Silentnight (they are the same company).

    You can get a far better quality open coil sprung/memory foam mattress, which will last many times longer, for far less than the price they are now charging.

    Thanks for chipping in. I have used your advice on these forums previously to buy an EXCELLENT mattress for around the £300 mark.

    This for me was a bargain purely because it was under £150 and required little to no effort to research it. It is going in a spare bedroom which is used maybe once or twice a year and currently has a 20 year old thin piece of sponge for a mattress...

    £140 for a mattress that even at best is a £250+ mattress is a bargain :)

    Sorry to be thick !, but it says in description:

    Assembled Dimension Units cm

    Assembled Dimension Depth 190
    Assembled Dimension Height 59
    Assembled Dimension Width 135

    Product Depth 191 cm
    Product Height 60 cm
    Product Width 136 cm

    So how thick is the mattress (e.g. my current one is 22cm) ? And which one is the size of the mattress ? Cheers J

    It looks like whoever it is who posts items to Tescos web site has been making loads of mistakes. The listing was for the mattress, but the details and dimensions where probably for the divan set. So it's no big shock that they also messed the price up.

    Think the question says it all. I was very tempted by the Tesco (mis)offer, but did a bit of reading & there are suggestions there are much better out there.
    I am more interested in quality than price (after years of poor sleep) so advice will be gratefully received.
    Are the new latex ones on the market yet? Do they really solve the 'overheating' issues with memory foam? Is a mix of spring and foam best, or just foam??? Sooooo confused.
    Thanks.
