    Default Bought a bed-gulp.

    We really need one.

    Had ours for years and years and last night youngest vomited and it went on the mattress which made me think that's the last straw.


    Have ordered this one - what does everyone think?

    It's such hard work choosing a bed isn't it? Husband wanted one for about £200 and expects it to last for 20 years


    I used a £50 off code - TD-KA55

    So got it delivered for £504

    Seems a lot of money but I need it to last and be comfortable.

    There were no reviews on it but after looking for ages my mind started going fuzzy lol. I was told to go for over 1000 sprung something or other and this is 1200 and I thought the memory foam moight be a novelty - and it's only on one side.

    I like the sound of the Summer/Winter sides - I hate being all hot in bed in the summer

    I bought a leather look bedstead fro £200 in the Dreams sale but had to spen nearly as much again for a mattress.

    Enjoy xx

    I got 1108 points. That might pay for a day out when we go to Glasgow in October

    They said up to 28 days for delivery.

    Our old mattress was really horrid and hubby and I werent sleeping well at all. We bit the bullet and bought a new mattress cos we didnt have to pay our council tax for two months and it arrived on Friday, we have slept so much better since.

    I am sure you wont regret your purchase

    Thank you. It seems such a lot of money but I have used a 0% interest for 12 months card (hate credit cards) and will pay £100 off a month.


    Our mattress is so old and so is the divan base (with no storage). I could have just bought a mattress and I just know husband would say "there's nothing wrong with the base" and we would keep it for another 100 years!!!

    I was a bit boggle eyed in the end too, i have slept in a memory foam and loved it but they were too out of our price range, we were making use of the interest free in the very catalogue

    I like the sound of a winter and summer mattress, i wanted a super king but dh was having none of it , we went for a silent night one, i ended up looking for the price range we had and the best reviews, so fingers crossed its nice, mind it has to be better than the one we have

    I chickened out and cancelled the order.


    Instead I bought a Rest Assured pocket sprung mattress - in Argos it's £300 but if you use the £50 voucher with Tesco it works! and the price goes down.

    The exact same mattress is £188 delivered


    I spoke to a bed specialist he said if there is nothing wrong with the divan base then why waste money.
