mattress confusion

A question about : mattress confusion

There some lovely looking affordable matresses on Groupon at the moment but I don't know if they are any good....

Handmade Signature 3000 Crystal Pocket Sprung Mattress from Ј219.95 With Free Delivery from (Happy Beds)

Mattresses are soooo expensive and we desperately need a new one before my husbands back gives out...any ideas

• Don't be fooled by groupon's price. Or the massively over inflated price on Happybeds website.
  Here it is on Amazon for just a Tenner more!

  It's a lot of springs but doubt much else in the mattress for that price.
• Hello,
  What size mattress are you after?
  What base is the mattress going onto?
  What is your rough budget?
  Do you know that non turn mattress still should be rotated round once a month.
• Hello Pinkypants, Thanks for getting back to me.
  We need a 4ft6ins double mattress.
  The base is a side opening ottoman & our present mattress doesnt side very much when I open it up.
  We do rotate the mattress, but not as often as monthly, so we must start doing that.
  I would like to spend no more than Ј300.00.
  I have been looking at Argos online & they have some good reductions.
• Ј300 will get you a pocket sprung mattress, which is far better then an open coil spring. But I don't know of any one sided ones that don't contain memory foam.
  Don't be sucked in by the alleged savings made.
  Give me a few days and I'll have a look around and try and recommend something.
• That would be great Thanks Pinkypants.
  There is no great rush as I havent quite got Ј300 saved yet.
• Any update? I was reading this tread with interest as i was about to buy one of those mattresses off groupon.
  Thanks
