    Thats not a "memory Foam" mattress!, who says you cant turn a "No Turn" mattress lengthways?
    I got a King Size Memory Foam top Divan 2 Drawer for just ove £300 at Argos, show me one online cheaper!, yes it was on offer at the time, yes its made by "Airsprung" ,not a top make but adequte for the price!.:T

    Sorry I cut and pasted a reply that I often have to use. It was very late last night, and I forgot to change the bit about memory foam.

    I actually said that you can only turn it lengthways, not that you can't.

    Argos are only cheap when they have it on sale because they are discontinuing it, so it looks like you got a bargain.

    Really?.....that's unusual. It's probably a stock clearance sale to refresh the stock, or the manufacturer have changed the design.

    I'm only going by what our customers tell us, but the average life seeems to be around 2 years.
  • i've had mine for about 4 years and they're still great.

    we buy nearly the most expensive ones of the range, but not the most expensive ones.

    You are either very lucky, or you really look after them then.

    i bought a double bed with mattress for about £149 in 1997 and we only replaced the mattress with a silent night memory foam one earlier this year. considering the bed had been used as a trampoline by our 6 year old over the years i think it performed really well and turned out to be great value for money. i do remember that it took a while to be delivered though. can you try the mattress elsewhere before you buy from argos?
  • bought this one, very comfy and a deep mattress, delivered 1 week
    Silentnight Clarion Double Cushion Top Mattress. 6661278



    Half Price £189.99 Was £379.99

    I've been trying to convince people for ages that Argos isn't as cheap for beds and mattresses as many people think. Now I have the proof:j .

    Argos sell the Bloomsbury King Size Antique Brass Finish Bedstead for £349.99. We sell the same model under a different name for £178. What you get for your money would also apply to divans and mattresses.

    Argos may be cheaper than many high street stores, but compaired to many internet based companies they are still very expensive.

    I know that many people are very wary about buying items like beds from ebay. However if you follow a few guidelines then you can save up to 75% on the shop prices:

    1) most important of all make sure that the seller gives a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

    2) check previous feedback for the seller, and even contact previous customers to ask them about the seller.

    3) use a company who display their phone number, so that you can talk to someone about your requirements (they want you to make the righ choice because it will cost them if you return it).

    4) check the sellers return policy. Many sellers charge for postage on returns.....can work out very expensive if you have unpacked a vacuum packed mattress, and you don't like it.

    5) try to use a seller who delivers using their own transport. Couriers often damage or misplace goods (believe me I know from experience).

    Obviously you can't try before you buy, but for the saving it is worth the risk if you follow the guidelines above.
    Can u sell me a king size 2 drawer divan with memory foam top for just over £300 then-whats you price? dont want to know you dont like them. Also can u guarentee that they wont be out of business in 3 months time? Yes i know that Argos can go out of business, but i doubt it.
