£500 for a mattress? Are they having a laugh?

[spidermama]

I need a new mattress as mine is so hard it's lke sleeping on the kitchen table. I've just had a quick look at John Lewis's and they're about £500 plus!

Is there anywhere cheaper? Or is that the going rate for a half decent mattress?

My aunt had a Tempur mattress and chucked it after 2 months. Said it was pants.

Haven't got the pillows - think I will get them.

You can get a travel overlay apparently - I might just be sad enough to do this

I want a wool mattress topper .
I think I'm going to justify it as our 7th wedding anniversary present next year (apparently 7 is wool )

mattressman.com is good.bought a great one for dd,a double,no turn,£295

these mattresses are heaven

£500 is quite cheap for a decent mattress - ours just crept into 4 figures 9 years ago and is still going strong.

Good God milge!
I should hope it would be at that price.

The trouble is I want one NOW, but I don't have the money. We may have the money in a month or two depending on dh's work. We can never tell what he'll earn (if anything) from one month to the next.

I could do HP though couldn't I. On the never never, as it were.

We were about £600 for our silent night one 2

lots of places do interest free if you spend over £x. I'd do that if i were you - we do whenever we see its on offer - just make sure you cancel the DD and pay the balance off before they start charging you extortionate rates!

agreed - a good mattress is designed to last at least 10 years, soo £500 is only £50 per year - less than a pound a week!!!
I should be a sales rep!
we got ours from selfridges about 7 years ago for a lot of money but it is worth it and it is going to last a good many years more!

do hp, interst free credit, but make sure you have the balence at the end. thats my plan for my cooker.

Costco have the memory foam toppers - absolute bliss ! around £100 I think

donnie what a great way of putting it. That'll form the basis of my argument for dh.
I'm forever in your debt.

mmmmm... tempur mattress.....homer simpson dribble.
