Cheap double bed

shoneh

Hi, I hope I'm posting this in the right place!

I'm looking to buy a double bed (for my 3 year old!!). Anyone know where else, other than argos, that I can look for one? Needs to be brand new as I don't really fancy a second-hand bed (unless it was quite new). I've looked in argos but they don't have that much and the delivery time on some is terrible! So what other places is there? Anyone know of any places online I can look? I was hoping to spend a maximum of £100 and I'm sure divan beds used to be around that, but haven't found any yet! Ikea is out of the question as the mattresses (the ones I've seen) are expensive and delivery is about £35!

Thanks!

Try ebay.
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.
