which single mattress to go for?

spaceboy

I've seen good reviews of Nectar Memory Foam Mattress and Casper The Essensial but both are over £300. Can anyone suggest a lower priced single mattress that would be good?

Try Ikea  circa £100-£150  as good as Nectar Caspar Emma etc .

No, they are rectangular, like all mattresses.  But I know what you mean. They used to have different dimensions to UK beds, and hence you were stuck buying all your bed lined from Ikea, but now they are much closer to UK sizes. They are basically metric versions of UK bed sizes, so UK bed linen fits.

John Lewis would be another place to try, but read the reviews carefully.

Have you decided you want a foam mattress?

Not sure. I need two, for my daughters age 11 and 8. They have spring at the moment. I've never tried foam, myself.
