Hi Zam.

Thank you for your enquiry on our website.  No matter who the manufacturer is or where it comes from, a budget of £400 for a double mattress is unfortunately not that great. This is however, in stark contrast to the choices that are open to you. There are more mattresses out there for this budget as it is the greatest price point for the majority of people. We start our range at The Origins Comfort 1000 (£485 - Double: Aug 2018) This is the lowest standard that we would be prepared to put our name to.  It is not suitable for everyone, but the next model up, The Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 (£520 - Double: Aug 2018) will be amongst the best you quite likely to get.  Although these may be out of your budget, you may be able to get one at a discounted price from our Outlet department.

When you have a budget at this level, the fact that it contains at least 1000 pocket springs should be enough for you to start comparing the fillings used - as it will be this part where the bulk of your money will be going.  The pocket springs used will invariably be so similar it would not be in your interest to go to this level of forensic investigation.  Our 'sandwich' mix of Reflex foam and polyester is a good combination for comfort and longevity. The finish is as good as it gets for this budget (far exceeding many in a higher price bracket) double sided and so on.

It is always best to do comparisons based on price.  Use £350 as your starting point and try to find about ten mattresses that come in at this price.  All you have to do then is to see which one has the most fillings (GSM - grams per square meter)on a 1000 pocket sprung unit.  Then start to dismiss each one if the fillings are less than an alternative model.  I know it sounds easier to say than do, but I'm afraid that's what you have to do to be sure of what you are buying.

I hope this was helpful and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.  Our office hours are 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.

Kind Regards
