buying a matress - too good to be true?

I don't know where to post this but I'll try here

Me and my wife went to look at beds today and we liked a mattress in Dreams. It is made by Slumberland and is called the Penzance. I have been told that it will be on "special offer" tomorrow for the royal wedding at £699

I have been to the Slumberland website and they don't have a model called the Penzance but they have a very similar model called Matrix. I can't see the company making a specific mattress solely for Dreams rather they re-brand or rename one of their regular mattresses. bedsdirect247.co.uk describe the matrix as "The Matix Memory Mattress, also known as the Dreams Penzance Mattress as an equivalent model".

I have found the Matrix for sale at £308 which is a huge saving if it is the same mattress. Does anyone know if these mattresses are the same? and is sleeptogo.co.uk a reputable company?

As Dreams are so big they ask their supplies to change the cover and rename the product. So therefore you can't find it elsewhere and compare prices.

On top of that they then offer a Price Match Service! Which is worthless.

I've just come off the sites looking at the products and it's hard to compare them, yes they both have memory foam and 1200 pockets buts that all you can go on.

How thick is the memory foam?

What grade is it V60 V85 V100?

You can't tell, I suspect the dreams one is over priced so that it can come down further in a "Sale"

£308 for a pocket memory foam mattress made by Slumberland is a very good price though.

The only real way to find out is speak to Slumberland and hope they tell you the answers, they should do because they are getting a sale who ever sells it. Unless Dreams have some kind of deal where they tell their suppliers not to give out such info.

Good Luck
