thanks for quick reply-- the cheaper Artisan range seems nearest price manageable thing--if can get it in - i suppose it has a square metal frame round the perimiter top & bottom ?

i think ziplink may not be an option as mostly i like to sleep in the middle -where the join would be- maybe i should tack up a mattress sized frame from thin bits of wood or cardboard & see exactly what happens manouvering on landing like i did for the vintage metal bath,,, theres v little room- & low ceiling/ electrics cupboard in way --would be silly to order then be unable to get it in the room- previous kingsize went in the other upstairs room-- where even less room to manouver as wall in way-- when we took it out the square frame did get badfly bent-- but i wonder if got bit bent on way up & i didnt know, as it soon developed a big lump & a hollow..was v cheap one- how far in advance do i need to order the room wont be ready for weeks but be nice to finish it before xmas.. thanks Delia.
