    More importantly consider only buying from shops that offer a good mattress returns policy.

    I think JL and IKEA might be the best places to go to figure out what firmness we like, and then I will order online!

    Dreams are good. Checked out bed and mattress reviews online and visited the Cambridge store.
    Bought a Divan bed and cheap mattress and even got a cup of tea when I visited. 
    Can recommend.

    When you test out the beds make sure you check the depth (not always easy to see in a show room). My colleague tried one out but didn't realise it was an extra deep mattress until she unrolled it at home recently. She had to buy new fitted sheets.  
    Could be worse. Mine wouldn’t go up the stairs. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
