Need A New Bed

BRIGHTHOPE

I'm wanting to spend about £300.00 on a new divan. Can anyone advise me where I'll get best value for money? I find it awfully difficult to make comparisons because they all sell different ranges.

Makro can be good for mattresses, our Silentnight Miracoil Kingsize was £120 from there, so not bad at all.

I'm a great advocate of eBay otherwise, I got a absolutely stunning Indonesian Teak low framed bed for £53 that the guy had had specially imported into the country to have it not fit in his room! Cost him close to £1000!
Also got a second hand Futon Company sofabed delivered to my house by a seller for £120!

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.

By the way......stay away from Silentnight.
