Questions about Relyon mattress in different outlets

Hi, I've enjoyed reading your articles on mattresses - thank you for the hints and tips. I've got a budget of between £25 - 400 max and I've found 2 mattresses i'm currently looking at. One is the Relyon memory royale 1250 for £400 with a depth of 29cm and 50mm of memory foam from Mattress man. I tried to find this same brand on other sites but the closest i could come up with is another one called : Relyon pocket memory 1250 with a depth of 23cm and 50mm of memory foam valued at £289 from Mattresses world. The only obvious difference i can see between the 2 is the depth. All other specs seem to be the same including the 5 year guarantee. It doesn't seem to make much sense paying an extra £100+ for 6cm depth difference does it?
Would appreciate your thoughts on this. Interestingly I went on Relyon's site to check out the mattress specs and discovered that the 1250 count is only for the king size. I'm going for a double which actually comes up to a count of 1060. If I didn't know any better, I'd say its the same mattress the 2 different retailers are selling but named differently. Also it seems Mattress man is the only one stocking this particular Relyon brand which makes me wonder why?

Hi Chika,
Thank you for your enquiry on our website. The issue with both these mattresses is that they are one-sided meaning you can only ever use one side and would not be able to prolong the lifespan of the mattress by turning it regularly to even out the wear and tear.
You would be better buying a decent pocket sprung mattress and then a topper (if needed) that can be turned and rotated. It also means you can replace this rather than the entire mattress when it dips and sags after a few years, which it will. Whilst they have a 5-year guarantee this is proportional so anything after 2 years suddenly starts to degrade and it's not a full money back guarantee.
To be honest, at your price point you would struggle to get a decent pocket sprung and memory foam bed. Our cheapest mattress is the Origins Comfort 1000 which a double will cost £485 (Sept 2018). I would advise you buy a quality pocket sprung mattress then add a topper if you need to soften the comfort layers than try and tick all your boxes with your budget as the quality of the components is going to be really low I'm afraid and you can bet on replacing it in 3+ years. I'd need to know your body weight and height to really be able to recommend any mattress.
If you require any further information or would like to discuss the suitability of any of our mattresses please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419. Our office hours are 8 am - 8 m Monday to Friday and 10 am - 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
Kind Regards
