Budget Double Mattress?

chris1012

My wife and I have been suffering from our current mattresses.

Initially we had a queen size memory foam ergoflex mattress.
Never really supported my back and ended up paining my back/shoulders and we majorly over heated even when the room itself was cold.

Currently we have a double old spring mattress. It's old, non branded, doesn't have much support and some of the springs have broke.

The ideal requirements for us is an interim double mattress (2-3months and then will be used in the guest room).

It needs to be able to support us both (I am assuming medium to medium-firm for supporting the current back pain), does not over heat and is around £200.

Few I have seen online are -

Any further suggestions please?

Argos have some fantastic bargains at the moment, better than half price mattresses.

I ordered a medium firm ortho for £169 instead of £339!! And it's lovely.

The last one with 2000 springs is the one I'd plump for.

Silentnight aren't so great any more.

What size do you need? Queen size isn't a normal UK size, Small Single, Single, 3/4 or 4ft, King Size (5ft) or Super King (6ft) are UK sizes.

Queen is an Americanisium for our King Size.

£200 is not a budget price to me!! My last mattress came from a local shop and cost half that and is very comfortable.

I agree with pinkypants, the last one looks good. Pocket sprung is the best, and should last longer and give the best support. I used to sell beds and mattresses (much more high end prices than these) and I'd always advise pocket sprung. The more springs the better too, so 2000 for that price is a very good deal. Grab it!!

My mattress is memory foam but I absolutely love it! It's pretty firm - I bought it on a recommendation from a friend who loved hers and still loves it several years on, and who said 'it's like sleeping on sand' and she's right! My boyfriend loves coming to stay and is jealous because it cost half the price of his memory foam mattress, which overheats and has gone saggy. Mine is still firm 2 years on and I don't overheat in it - I absolutely LOVE my bed and just can't beat the feeling when I lie down on it at night! Enough said! I'd go for the 10" thickness - that's what me and my friend both have. By the way, the ebay link is the same company I bought mine from 2 yrs ago with no problems

It's by Hypnia, it's actually quite a budget one, but it's also on Amazon and has 4.5 stars:
