Help on mattress for a really low budget

I'm looking for a pocket spring double mattress, but I'm on a tight budget and after a bad experience recently with a company (delivery never showed up so I ended up canceling) I'd rather buy from a well-known store with an established reputation. I want to get the best I can afford, but with a budget of £500 for a bed AND mattress it's really tricky!
The comfiest bed I've ever tested is the Dreams Avebury, medium-firm at 2000 springs. But I'm not sure if it's the spring count that makes it so comfy or all the thick layers. Would you recommend looking for a similar, cheaper mattress with 2000 springs, or should I compromise on spring count and look for one with certain layers of upholstery?
It's usually only me in the bed, although I share it at weekends with my other half. I'm 10 stone, so maybe spring count isn't that important?
Hi Lucy,
Thank you for your enquiry. You're correct on both counts that its a mix of both the spring tension, not just count, and the comfort layers that ultimately determine the quality of a mattress.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
At the price range, you are at its unlikely that natural materials will even feature or not at the quality you would need them at. What we would advise is that you look for deeper layers of either polyester or synthetic comfort layers that will provide you with a quality bed, rather than thin to zero layers of 'natural' materials.
We have the Origins range which are ideal for the price band and quality you are seeking, please give us a ring on 0161 437 4419 or email to advise further as we would need to know your comfort preferences and sleeping habits to determine which would be most suitable for yourselves.
Kind Regards
