    I dont see why he cant just say i would recommend if you want a double mattress, you want it firm, you have a bad back, to go for brands x, y or z.

    Its up to them if they use that advice, and tbh even if he did say that, and even if he sold that brand, i would still go and research the brand, look for reviews & see if it was possible to get it cheaper.

    Its advice, its not saying you must buy this from me.

    Don't blame me, blame the forum rules that I have to abide by.

    If I could do that, then each time I recommended anything the moderators would have to do loads of searching to find out if I sold that model.
  • I'm not blaming you, i just think its daft you can't just say whats best for the person asking. Regardless if you sell the item or not.

    Well there isn't much I can do about that I'm afraid. This is where you need to actually speak to a few retailers, and hope that they will tell the truth, rather than just try and sell you the mattress that earns them the most commission.
  • Out of interest, can you say out of your stock, do you have any sub £350 mattresses that are pocket sprung without any latex/foam that are firm?

    Im not looking for advice, its just a question?

    Not out of stock, as all ours are made to order. But most on line retailers should have pocket sprung mattresses within that price.
  • Can you recommend any?

    If you don't sell them, that shouldnt be a problem? Or do you offer ones special order that would suit me?

    I do sell them, so I can't recommend any.
  • Oh right, sorry i misunderstood.

    So can you list the ones you sell (not in stock) that would meet my requirements?

    I don't view this as recommending, just stating what is on offer in my price range.

    I would like to compare these with others i have found.

    Well that would be advertising, which I'm not allowed to do on MSE.
  • So if i emailed you with the same question, could you answer it then?
