Hi! I need to buy a new mattress for my bed, (the one I've got is knackered, and so am I! )

I'm looking for top quality brands, and good value for money, but I don't know where it would be best to look first.

Can any of you lovely, well-informed Wikiwirralians recommend a good place to start my search please?

I've had this one for the last year: http://shop.silentnight.co.uk/mattress-now-rolled-mattress-memory-3-zone.html

It's warm in the winter, comfortable in the summer. At 14st, I find it about right; though someone lighter may find it a little firm.

I bought a memory foam mattress a few years ago from Makro and it has been really comfortable, and appears to have loads of wear left in it, so I recommend Memory Foam for your new mattress.

The Bed Factory in Bridge street Birkenhead we've just bought a mattress from there they've got all the top brands at reasonable prices

Thanks very much for your replies, I'll keep both suggestions in mind. But to be more specific, I was thinking more along the lines of sellers/vendors.

My Dad said that a mattress warehouse would give the best value for money, but doesn't know where any are, (helpful!) So I was wondering if anyone on here knows, or can recommend a good store/supplier.

Thanks for reading!

How about: Marks and Spencers, John Lewis or
Wirral Bed store,http://www.archerssleepcentre.co.uk/blog/wirral-bed-superstore-bed-mattress-review

Have you tried groupon? There is a silent night memory foam mattress on there was £379 now £179. Or £219 for a king size

Groupon isn't always the cheapest place to buy the stuff that's on offer.

For example; the mattress on the Groupon offer is the same 3 zone memory foam mattress on the Silentnight website in the link in my post above, where it's £151.20 with next day delivery. Tesco sell the pillows for only £11.50 for the pair.

Always have a quick search on Google Shopping before buying through Groupon.

That being said, I am tempted by the PS3 12Gb for £134 that's on Groupon today

not sure if they are still open but there was a unit behind Asda in Brombrough where i got mine years ago and he was very reasonable, its always worth a look around them units for a bargain

Re Rocks "not sure if they are still open but there was a unit behind Asda in Brombrough where i got mine years ago and he was very reasonable, its always worth a look around them units for a bargain"
He is still there and he always seems willing to do a deal. I have bought a few things from him and I was looking at some bedroom stuff on Saturday.It seems to have expanded and he has three piece suites and dining units. It is called Bromborough Sofas and Beds.

mother in law bought a brand new mattress and base only a few months ago but its not required now , she paid £300 and only wants £200 to clear the space in her house if interested ,i tried to pm you but you are over your limit , so get back to me and ill arrange a viewing , great quality .

Thank-you all for your good advice! I've bought my new mattress now.

I went shopping yesterday, visiting The Bed Factory in Bridge street first. While I liked the feel of 3 mattresses there, 2 were brands I'd never heard of, (both £119,) and the third, a "Sealy Orthopaedic", wasn't available in single size.

I took notes however, then went up to Bromborough. The place that I remembered has moved to much smaller premises, but I still found a mattress I liked, a "Bedmaster Luxury Orthopaedic", £130 with delivery.

And it was delivered around 3:30pm today! How's that for quick service?!

Ahh, I will sleep like a baby tomorrow...

great news glad you found one

Thanks rocks, I'm very pleased with it! It's absolutely drool-worthy... it's thicker than a whale sandwich!

haha i have a very comfy bed too and love it!!!
