For those that have bought a bed and mattress, where did you buy yours from and how much did it set you back?

More interested in what mattresses people have chosen as beds are much of muchness really, ie what type, price/investment, pointers etc.

Seems like there's few places to try them out too. Ikea was meh when we looked briefly and places like Dreams are a nightmare to look around and try things out as they're usually in converted warehouses with a flock of commission-hungry sales reps following you round.
 
Spend about 2 hours reading through this site, you will then be in a FAR better position to buy a mattress. It will also stop you getting fleeced for £4k by companies like dreams.

I eventually went for a mattress from this company, excellent doesn't come close. The quality is amazing.

Which one did you go for out of interest?
 
Just for some thread closure as always...

Originally bought a Value 1000 Pocket mattress from John Lewis. However we went this evening as we also need one for the spare room and its just... awful! Despite the hundreds of 5 star reviews on their website. I don't know what they were all thinking.

Anyway we tried a few out and actually John Lewis have a very nice and simple range, so we were going to opt for their Ortho 1400 and 800 (main and spare rooms) for £550 and £350 respectively which then actually introduced the Factory Beds Direct ones into the budget.

So anyway, I've just ordered a Origins Pocket 1500 for the main room and Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 for the spare. Will hopefully get them delivered in time for the move on the 10th, and hope they're as good as everyone here says they are :p.
