Choice of 3 mattresses

I am annoying myself now! Narrowed it down to two mattresses, but then another cropped up.
Would love some opinions on these three. I just not sure what to go for?

    Looks like bed lum beds website is being censored in the links. Noticed this in other posts on the site too, wonder if tim asked the admin to do it for some reason.

    The sealy is overpriced and is only a crap open coil sprung bed (old tech). For 250 u can get a nice 1500 pocket sprung mattress easy enough if u look about. Lots of choices which makes it frustrating to know which to buy and is the best for the money tho which is one reason i still aint got my bed yet lol.

    Also about the la romantica, now im no expert but i have found that they are a newish company from 2005 so since the longest anyone has had a mattress from them is 5 years there is no way of really knowing if it will last longer so its something to think about.

    Skeeter, it would be worth enquiring about the history of the company, and their staff and directors. As nobody just starts up a company from scratch with no previous history.

    That's why you should speak to the seller, and get advice. If they have a good returns policy, then it will be in their interest to make sure that you make the right choice the first time, rather than bombarding you with hype and gimmicks as they do in many shops.

    La Romantica Mattresses are extremely (disproportionately?) popular on these forums.

    A certain prolific poster here also sells this brand of mattress which is not popular in general. Their returns policy is also pretty much a unique selling point
