People post links to other sites all the time. As long as you're not connected to the site or posting in an official basis its not advertising. C'mon, show us all these quality, bargain priced, continental sized mattresses of yours.

Please read the rules. I can't post because I'm in the trade.

!!!!!!, this particular forum is specifically about helping others by giving info about upcoming bargains etc, usually done by naming the retailer or providing a link. If you don't feel you can provide a link then at least name the retailers you refer to, otherwise your initial post is pretty pointless.

Pointless or not, I'm not allowed to recommend any. I'm afraid it means doing a bit of leg work on google.

Not really. OH brought a decent mattress from Argos which was half price at £199 I believe

There's loads on Argos website http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse/ID72/14418238/c_1/1|category_root|Home+and+furniture|14417894/c_2/2|14417894|Mattresses|14418237/c_3/3|cat_14418237|Double+mattresses|14418238.htm
And 15% off with MATT15 on payment page

And to be honest it doesn't matter if the mattress is a cheap one because you could do what I did for my parents and buy a memory foam topper (they are so comfy!) I can fully recommend beddybuybuys4u on eBay. Just searched but they haven't got any at the moment though.

Please read the earlier posts. We are specifically talking about continental sized mattresses, not standard UK sizes. And imho sticking a cheap memory foam topper over a cheap mattress is no substitute in spending a bit more on a decent mattress in the first place.

Popped in to Ikea yesterday and they said that they no longer roll their mattresses up for delivery. Apparently due to UK fire regulations they put some kind of coating on them and this could be rubbed off if they roll packed them. Sorry for giving you the wrong information above. :embarasse

There are sellers on ebay that do european size mattreses but obviously I have no idea what they are like.

What is important though is the reliability of the mattress. There is no point putting a topper on a mattress if the springs have collapsed (which is quite common with some of the brands that Argos sell.

Hello everyone. I really appreciate your advice. I will need to wait and get a tape meanure at the weekend and see what size my IKEA SULTAN mattress actually is. Then I will know where I can go. It just looks like a regular mattress to me and my Woolworth double fitted sheets seem to fit it fine. Am so glad I posted this now as you have really helped me.

avoide dreams.co.uk very expensive when you get down to it!

They don't give a satisfaction guarantee though do they?
