I wanna buy a new mattress!

We are in desperate need of a new double mattress. My husband's side is sloping so he's been almost rolling off the bed. I think he might have rolled off once or twice. Plus, it's old and a bit mucky now with being in a garage for a while. So where can I get a decent priced mattress? To be honest, I don't know how much we should pay for one, the one we have is from his parent's old second bedroom. They sold up and didn't need it so we got it. Where do I start looking? What price ranges should we be thinking about?

  • Hi try doing price runner and stuff. But dont go 2 cheep as my nan used to say "you'll only weep if you dont have a good nights sleep" its true and dont forget once you found your mattress try your cash back sites see if you can get a bit more off. If you can afford it look for a pocket sprung mattress they are very good
    Good luck hope you have a great nights sleep soon!

    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.
