Advice on purchasing bed

unreal1ty_2

I'm not sure this is the right section to post in, if not please could an admin move it or advise me to where i need to post.

I am looking to buy a new double divan bed, preferably with 2 drawers, around the £300 mark. I don't really know much about beds / mattresses and don't want to get one thats going to fall apart. I realise £300 isn't alot for this, but any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

thanks people!

any opinions welcome.

Google bed sales, go to stores and see what they have on offer. You are sharing a link to an £800 bed, asking how you can get one for £300.

Argos have a sale on, you might have luck there.

Beds (based and mattress) range from £200 to thousands, so you can't expect £300 to get you particularly good quality, but MattressMan do have several under that price:

For example, you can get a Silentnight mattress which will be reasonable for a budget buy:

But bear in mind that their divan beds above don't generally include the headboard, so you'd have to pay extra for that.

However, if this is your main bed that you'll use every night, I'd say don't buy a mattress without trying it in a shop first, unless you're very clear on what type and firmness you want. Even then, I'd still advise against it unless there was no other option.

I recommend MattressMan as a shop though. We've had two guest bed mattresses from them (bought online), and recently replaced our own mattress, buying in-store. Their delivery service is very good and their charge to dispose of an old bed is low compared to other shops.
