Hi there,

Thank you for your enquiry. We currently don’t have many king size mattresses on our Outlet section of the website at the moment but the stock is always fluctuating.  At the moment the cheapest 5 ft mattress available is the Artisan Naturals which is a medium in the upholstery layers. This mattress is a grade B but this is a soft in the spring tension. Without knowing your body weights, comfort preferences or sleeping habits I could not say if this mattress was suitable for your needs. Our Outlet products have been sent back to us under the ‘60 day love it or return it‘ guarantee. Once we receive them back they are cleaned, inspected and placed on the outlet at a discounted price dependant on the condition.

Another option would be to check if we have anything suitable on our eBay store.  Here is a link for any current King Size mattresses available.

£750The 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.
£1000Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models.
£1250Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content.
£1500Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres
£1500-£2000Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress
£2000+You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method.

If budget is your main priority we have an article on what you can expect for your money that may be of some help for you.  Before purchasing a new mattress you should make sure the spring tension is correct for your body weight to give you the correct level of support.  The comfort layers should then be based on your comfort preferences, sleeping habits and budget.
