Need a new double mattress (no Phil). Any recommendations on something around £250?
Random Questions: Mattress recommendations
I hate that memory foam crap, its horrid, but down to personal tastes i guess.
An anti-bacterial finish is a must imo, helps keep the nasties at bay through the years you can also get matress's infused with hello-vera which is also naturally anti-bacterial and moisturising but on your budget you probly won't find this options available you.
If the mattress is for you and yours then individual pocket springs are the best bet. It means that when your partner gets up for a shit in the night you won't feel it as you'll be lying on your own individual springs that don't get affected so much by there movement.
A mattress is definately worth spending a bit more on if you can. You spend a lot of time on it.
Can't go wrong with Silentnight and as Nick put, JL is a good place to start. See http://www.johnlewis.com/Magazine/Feature.aspx?Id=9

i agree with the memory foam comments, is a bit of a gimmick - a hotel i stayed in had one and it really put me off
I've got a pocket sprung matress by vi spring - its awesome, i can't stand shit beds if your going to spend 7 hours a night there why skimp on the quality

pocket sprung, although you will only get a fairly basic one for £250, 800 to 900 springs, it will still be far better than a standard mattress. Double the price and you will get quite a decent one.
AVOID department stores (unless in sale), they tend to be higher £'s against the independents or the bed retailers. Pick a manufacturer and shop around with the basic details, ie spring count, filling, thickness etc., as most retailers have manufacturers change the name of each bed/mattress, this makes it harder for customers to compare.
Simmons & Millbrook do decent pocket sprung.
Also watch out for the was 999 now 499. By law a product only has to high priced for 28 days for a retailer to claim it was £999 and now half price. this is standard practice in bed retailers, as well as furniture etc. If it's a half price bed/mattress ask them for written details of when it was full price and for how long. you can normally expect to knock another 10% off these so called deals, maybe more considering the climate.
