    Hi all,

    Looking to purchase the Warren Evans Mozart bed in King size with Grand IPS mattress. Does anyone have ANY comments on these beds, and the mattress etc?

    Feedback seems good. Thanks :)

    Warren Evens are good quality, but very over priced.

    Hi,

    I am looking for a king-size mattress, however I live in a flat and the problem is that the lift is simply not big enough, may I ask if anyone know whether vacuum packed mattress will fit inside a lift easily please??

    If so, any suggestion on what mattress to get please?

    I know that memory foam mattress will fit easily but I am actually more interested in pocket springs mattress but not sure if that would fit into the lift.

    Many thanks,
    Gameplayers

    Vacuum packed mattresses tend to be lower quality, and the ones with pocket springs aren't full size pocket springs (because they would be damaged).

    Some sellers will deliver to your flat. Have you checked with any?

    Aren't all memory foam mattresses vacuum packed?

    No, only the cheap low quality ones.

    Not too sure about Tempur but Ergolfex and most others appear to be vacuum packed.

    Now you mention it those Ergoflex reviews do look a little suspicious.

    I have to say though I did OK with my memory foam mattress. The place I bought it from on Ebay sent the first one out which didn't quite fully expand, they then sent me a second one out FOC and I sold the first one in the local paper. I could've sold it 10 times over.

    Overall the mattress ended up costing me £50!

    Hey Guys,

    Looking for a new mattress, current one has had it and getting sore backs etc.
    I'm a tall block and a little over 18 stones so looking for a decent one, but not too much money.

    Found this one and not too sure about it:
    http://www.mattressnextday.co.uk/mattress/70/Dorlux-Cool-Plus--1400/

    Also on the same site found
    http://www.mattressnextday.co.uk/mattress/591/Rest-Assured-Sierra--Memory/

    Finally was looking at:
    http://www.mattressonline.co.uk/products/faye_mattress.html

    What do you guys think?

    I don't want to sound too negative, but I was talking to someone recently who phoned Dorlux, and was told that they no longer make quality beds, and that they concentrate on the lower end of the market. I suspect this may be something to do to do with them being taken over by the Birningham Kozee Sleep. So I assume that they are using Dorlux for lower end beds.

    As for Rest Assured they are part of the Silentnight group, and you really need to do a search in the MSE threads for them before you consider buying.

    If you want better quality and value for money then go for smaller independent manufacturers.
