I want a single bed & mattress.

Hope I am posting correctly!
I need a new single frame & a new mattress.
Best deal I have found is Argos, £135 for single bed frame, single mattress and delivery.
Anything better out there?

    There are loads of better deals on the net. I'm not allowed to give you any specific names, but you can give ebay a try.
    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 right 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.
  • I have just looked at Ikea for you and apart from the fact i can't find anything cheaper you would have to go and get it.

    Have you tried any local furniture shops? Sometimes they can have ex-display or specials. Worth a visit, especially if you're travelling that way anyway.
