I'm popping into Dreams today to try this Ottoman in a 4'6" double.
www.dreams.co.uk
It has a wood base for storage which is good and storage is 29cm deep which is very good. I have limited space in my flat so have been wanting an Ottoman for a while.
I don't want to spend ridiculous money on a mattress but this pocket sprung one looks ok? Might get about 5 years or so out of it.

We've got 4 John Ryan mattresses but I need a cheaper mattress for a short term rental. Any recommendations for something more around £250-350? That Dreams one above doesn't look bad, but also curious about one of the Emma/Simba's etc as a) easier to get into a flat and b) no springs to damage.

We have just purchased an Emma Original, it arrived yesterday. I did try one at an Airb&B property and thought it felt good.
The one we received yesterday, for some reason, it does not feel the same. Normally on a memory foam mattress, you can feel the memory foam sink slightly and leave a slight hand print for a couple of seconds, this one you can't.
We got this to replace our silentnight memory foam mattress and I can say that this Emma Memory Foam mattress is not any better! I am very disappointed in the Emma mattress.
As soon as my partner laid on it she said "there is no difference from the silentnight one!" I thought "She is just saying it as I had bought the new Emma one!" No, she is right, there isn't any difference!
We have the 200 night trial, but I will give it a week and if it doesn't improve, it will be going back in a week.
I am a side sleeper and my partner also sleeps on her side a lot, and sometimes sleeps on her back.

May be a real post but something about this as a 1st post doesn't seem quite right.

How do you upload photo's?.Haha, fair enough!
It arrived the other day, we purchased it after seeing it on ideal world. Left it over-night, then we have started to use it.

Silentnight Geltex Ultraflex 3000 Mattress
Has anyone got any experience with the above mattress? Have seen them crop up a few times online for reasonable prices and lots of good reviews. Costco have some good deals on them atm (£160 off - £640 for Super King!) so contemplating getting one when we move house.

How do you guys research a mattress, are there specific websites you trust/refer to?
The MIL has a Which subscription and after reading some of the reviews i'm still left wondering just how comfortable the mattresses are going to be.
Previously I bought one of the John Ryan mattresses blindly and it was just "OK", it was comfortable and well made but think for a future purchase i'm going to go to a shop and test some of them out.
The most highly rated one on Which is the EVE Original and Premium Hybrid Mattresses with scores of 81%. In fact their top 6 are either an EVE or Emma mattress, followed by Silentnight Studio by Silentnight Gel.

All sounds amazing from their blurb but £1500 may be a little more than I wanted to spend for a Super King.This was recently launched:

Could be something in Black Friday, usually is for lots of businesses. Could be worth waiting a short while anyways..! 
My John Ryan will be here on Friday, I’ll let you know how it goes. It’s the standard origins pocket in medium.
That said, it’s replacing a very old and rather firm basic unbranded mattress so it’s bound to be a significant improvement regardless.
I did try some briefly in a bed shop and I found traditional mattress to be better than the foam or hybrid type.
I just think they lacked comfort and felt like they would wear very quickly compared to a proper pocket sprung model.
Other things like if you sit/lie near the side of the bed, they just rolled away beneath you because they lack the structural support at the edges.
