Buying a new superking mattress help?

minnie123

Hi,
My Ikea superking size mattress is 7 years old now and the springs are starting to bulge through so I need to buy a mattress but it's very confusing. Ideally I don't want to spend more than £250 as i'm on a tight budget at the moment.

I don't want another Ikea mattress because my last one zipped together and so dipped in the middle.

The best I have found so far is a sleepeezee concept 1200 from sleepingsolutions.co.uk it's £319 but you can get 20% cashback from quidco so it will work out about £255. The only prob is I can't find any reviews for the mattress.

I want a medium pocket sprung mattress suitable for a slatted bed base.

I have seen posts saying to go with independent dealers but tbh I have been googling for mattressess all day and I can't seem to find any.

Has anyone got any recommendations or advice??

Most of the dealers would be independent on google. It's independent manufacturers you should be looking for.

Hi yes sorry thats what I meant independent manufacturers most of the sites I have found are the usual brand names. I found a couple of sites that had independent makes but when I searched for a pocket sprung in superking size they were coming up at £400 plus. I'm a bit lost.

I've been searching recently too, I found one this morning on mattressman website, it's due to be delivered tomorrow, so I can't comment on service/etc.

I'm not allowed to post links yet, but if you go to the website and scroll down a bit there is a button to go to their 'Seconds' page, theres a few on there, and the clearance button above.

Like I said I can't comment on the website nor do I know alot about mattresses, but I know it's hard to find a decent mattress cheap!

Mattressman are cheaper than the big retailers, but they are far from being the cheapest. Also they don't have a return policy that lets you unpack and try out the mattress (some do).

Sleepingsolutions lets you try them for 7 days so thats quite good - But I have found an online dealer selling independent brands and found one called a Rennes Pocket 1000 Superking but it's £315 looks good though - so I need to decide between the sleepeezee one for £255 or spending a bit more??

Mattress buying is difficult!

No they don't, they just comply with distance selling regs. This comes from their returns policy:

"Mattresses, bed bases & bedding can only be returned if they are unopened. Mattresses which have been opened and slept on cannot be returned. If you wish to test a mattress please keep it wrapped until you are sure you want to keep it. Bed frames can not be returned if they have been assembled."

I wouldn't buy a Sleepeezee, as their quality isn't brilliant. As for the Rennes, it is an entry level pocket sprung mattress. So you might be better off with a top en open coil sprung one.

are open coil ones ok to use with a slatted bed base?

Why is buying a mattress so complicated?

Yes open coil sprung mattresses are fine with slatted bases. It's pocket sprung mattresses that aren't.

I don't want a divan I love my bed - My ikea superking is 180 x 200 that is the standard size isn't it?

Unfortunately I can't double my budget :-(
