Mattresses for access-restricted rooms

Thanks for your very useful web site that has taught me a lot about mattresses!
I am interested in a quality double mattress, but unfortunately this is for a room with tricky access issues (narrow 180-degree staircase). I cannot see any way to get a non-rolled mattress in there -- getting up the stairs is a non-starter, and even taking the upstairs window out (which I'm reluctant to do) the diagonal is only 52 inches. Since I'm looking for a normal double in size, zip-and-link seems not an option either.
So I have been investigating rolled / vacuum-packed pocket sprung mattresses. Is any of these worth buying? From reading the various other comments, I think your position is no. But with my access problem, do I have any other options? Although apparently discontinued (or so it seems?) I could likely find some stock of the highest-end Harrisons one that is rolled (Platinum 3000).
The obvious alternative is a latex mattress, which I'm guessing should be available rolled (though I've yet to look properly)... any other suggestions on what I should be thinking about to resolve my decision, or any options I've missed? I'd greatly appreciate it... thanks.

Hi Stephen,
Many thanks for your enquiry.
Zip and link mattresses are normally only available in king size and above and we are not aware of any companies who make a double in a zip and link. Given the severity of the turn (180 degrees) your options are limited. We would not recommend any pocket sprung mattress to be rolled as this will affect the performance of those springs and may make the product settle awkwardly when unrolled.
Latex is likely to provide the flexibility you require and we would suggest that you view the products in our Fusion range, although we are not able to make a specific recommendation as to which model without knowledge of your body weight(s).
Please view the range and then call our office on 0161 437 4419 to obtain specific advice as to the suitability of one of these products for your situation. Kind regards.
