Best mattress for £500 or less?

Alison asked

Hi Lee,
Thank you for such an informative piece on mattresses – I’ve been so confused between miracoil and pocket sprung. However, you have now clarified that for me.
My existing bed is a Layezee pocket sprung and pocket sprung base. The mattress gave up the ghost 12 months ago at the grand old age of 11years.
I currently have a cheap pocket sprung mattress with separate mattress topper, but memory foam is a nightmare with my night sweats. I have ME/CFS and Osteo arthritis so I find I need support, but I have very tender pressure points and feel bruised all over.
Having looked at the sales and finding plenty of polyester 1/2 price mattresses which confused me, I now realise that I would be better off with a mattress constructed from natural materials.
In the long term it would be an investment, as a cheap quality mattress might deteriorate within the 5 year guarantee period.
Can you please advise me on the likelihood of acquiring a reasonably priced quality double pocket sprung mattress under £500 from yourselves?
I’m probably way off the mark price wise but would appreciate some realistic advice please.
Many thanks.
Kind regards
Alison

Hi Alison,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

Naturally upholstered pocket sprung mattresses are quite expensive primarily because of the cost of the natural fibres used. The cheapest double mattress in our Artisan range (naturally upholstered) is £895.00

 

Our Origins range has a number of models, which represent excellent value for money and are synthetically upholstered pocket sprung mattresses. I note that you have not specified your body weight, but would suggest that you view the details of the Origins Pocket  1500 on our site. This mattress will provide an overall medium feel for someone of average body weight.

Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kgMedium (1.4mm)

Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)Soft (1.2mm)

 

The springs in a pocket sprung mattress are there to support you and that support is dictated by your body weight which is the reason why we need to ascertain that information from you.

 

 

Once you have viewed the details of the Origins Pocket 1500 mattress, please telephone the office for further advice and information on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind regards Julie
