Too good to be true? Anyone used?

Hi,

Am looking to buy a mattress and have found one I saw in Vokins for £700 for £386.99 on MattressMagic.co.uk (Silentnight Carina Dream Pocket 2100 Memory Breathe Miracoil 7 Mattress) and wondered if anyone has used them or if they're too good to be true?

Thanks

    Vokins are a shop and are therefore expensive. It is quite normal for big stores to have a 400 to 500% mark up on mattresses.

    Mattressmagic is an internet based business, and therefore has much lower overheads, therefore their prices will be far lower.

    Personally I wouldn't pay £100 for a mattress of that brand. Do a search on MSE for them and you will see why.

    I wouldn't buy a Silent Night mattress anyway, hugely over rated and quality is poor.
