I am considering buying a double divan bed approx £400-£450 in price. I have seen a Sleepeezee Back Care 800 Essential pocket springs which seems quite comfortable, with 2 drawers, at Carpet Right for £489.62. This would be used for a guest bedroom. What are your thoughts on this, would I be getting value for money or am I just paying for a brand name?. Would you know the detailed description at all for this mattress ?
Would be grateful for your comments. .
Hi Shirley,
I would say that our Origins Reflex Pocket 1000 (£735 - Double - 2 drawers OCT 2018) is a better overall buy.
| How much to spend on a double mattress? | What can I expect for my money? |
|---|---|
| Under £500 | Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. |
| £500 | Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses. |
| £750 | The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models. |
| £1000 | Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models. |
| £1250 | Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content. |
| £1500 | Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres |
| £1500-£2000 | Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress |
| £2000+ | You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method. |
| £5000+ | A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres. |
The extremely vague description of the Back care 800 does not give any indication as to what is inside the mattress.
Obviously, it indicates an 800 pocket spring count (Kingsize) but the lack of any information whatsoever on the quantity of fillings would lead me to believe it is a basic polyester (I am guessing an 800 - 1000GSM) on polypad insulator, one sided mattress.
Obviously I would like you to contact Sleepeezee Customer Services on 01634 290257 and ask them what the precise breakdown of this particular mattress is: What fillings are used on top of the spring unit?
It is quite likely going to be polyester and so what is the weight by GSM?
[For this retail price 1200 GSM would be an acceptable weight].
Also, is it one sided or two sided?
[It looks like a one sided mattress but you should expect this to be in the specification] The detailing and finish is relatively basic but I don't think you could expect anything more.
Hope this helps Shirley.
And for everyone else, when selecting mattresses you really must have at least three of similar build in order to make an informed comparison and then start digging for the relevant detail.
And if the details you need are not there PHONE THEM AND ASK.
Kind Regards Gary
