Groupon mattress deal - any good?

My son is desperate for a new mattress and I've seen this deal from GROUPON in my inbox:

http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/national-deal/gg-bed-and-mattress-world-34/37692056

£89 for a Bonnell Sprung Mattress with Memory Foam (20cm in total), supposedly 64% discount with free delivery.

Argos have a mattress for £99 that has great reviews but it's not memory foam.

Be grateful for opinions :o

    I'm generally one for reputable high-street over anonymous startups. The company doing this promotion haven't returned accounts yet, only set up a year ago.

    If Argos let you down, you can knock on the door and they'll sort you out. If these guys let you down, they're a virtual mailing address in Harrogate or London. Just sayin'

    Do you really want to deal with a company who's terms and conditions are over 20,000 words long!

    In general you get what you pay for with mattresses, this is cheap but it doesn't say how much or what grade of memory foam is on the springs. So it'll be cheap memory foam and not much of it either.

    I have ordered a bed for my young daughter from B&MW. I received an email on the 21st May stating it would be delivered on the 27th
    I sold my daughters old bed and arranged for it to be collected today to make room for her new one. I waited in all day and nothing.There is no contact number on their website but you can email the delivery company
    I have not received a reply or my bed!
