Cheap Single Mattress?

Hello,

I am looking for a basic, cheap single mattress for a spare bed. Have looked on various sites and they all seem pretty expensive. Does anyone have any idea where I might find a bargain?

Thanks

    What about this one in IKEA. Its £70.

    You could always buy an Aerobed Single from Argos at £53.99. Reduced by £6 just now.

    I need to get a new mattress for my son and at the moment, a good quality one, backcare etc is around £175 including local delivery. Hoping to get same but cheaper in the sales.

    Did you mean to say 'not very cheap'?

    Because if you find a mattress that is cheap, but claims to be memory foam, then the chances are that it isn't.

    If in doubt then send me the link, and I will give you my honest opinion.

    Now I will probably get slated for this because I sell beds, but this is my own personal view:

    I have actually slept (or tried to) on a cheap focus mattress, and in the end I slept on the floor instead.

    There is budget, and there is cheap and nasty.

    They may do different models. I was in Focus a few weeks ago, and I felt one that I wouldn't let my dog sleep on. But they may sell better ones.
