  • I seen one yesterday in B&M Stores, it was a double for I think £49. Don't know what the quality would be like. Give them a call first incase Im wrong!

    You get what you pay for in B&M. Their mattresses are the cheapest on the market but very very poor quality. You can feel the springs there is very little padding over the springs. You will end up buying another mattress in a few weeks, when you could have bought a decent one in the first place.

    You should try a local independent bed shop for best value - not Dreams or Sleepmasters. You will need to spend more than £100 for a double, but you might get something decent for under £200.

    Whereabouts are you located?

    Good luck.

    Stay well away from big brands, and big chain stores if you want decent quality for a good price.

    If you do, then ask if they have any that are made by independent manufacturers instead.

    Go to S&L furniture on the Castlereagh Road. Excellent selection and very well priced for good matresses, not the rubbish sold on the high st.
