Ok. So our current mattress is getting to the end of it's life - my wife would very much like a Tempur but i've vetoed that due to the fact that I've tried them and they're just too hot.
So - we're looking at pocket sprung - the question being what's an 'acceptable' spring count? There's a local furniture shop selling Reylon (?) mattresses - 1400 spring count, cashmere, felt etc etc. Supposedly discounted down to just over £1000. 4-6 week delivery whilst it's made to order.
That seemed like a good idea though I'm sceptical of the non-sale / non-discounted price they quoted and looking online briefly there seems to be a wealth of different options with spring counts between 1400 and 3000! I'm sure not all springs are equal etc and materials also have an important part to play...
So - for a budget of about £1000 can anyone point me in the direction of a decent online stockist of a well-made pocket-sprung mattress that'll last for more than 3 years?
We have a Relyon Marquess, fantastic........ from here http://www.nationalbedcentre.co.uk/baseproduct.asp?id=2551

Used to have a Hypnos, again worth the money
I've got one with a thousand springs cost 500 quid 7 years ago, its still excellent, brompton backcare its here for 249 [url= http://www.countrywidebeds.co.uk/baseproduct.asp?id=2409 ]click[/url]
Amazing how these bed sites look exactly the same! 8)
Another vote for harrison. It is still a family owned and run business in Leeds. Mattresses are excellent (have one), and cheaper than a lot of the big name mattress companies.
Only downside is they are all made to order so little bit of a wait to get it.
Very very comfortable though and worth the money (you do spend nearly a third of your life in bed!)
cheers - looks like the £1000 for the Reylon mattress we were quoted is a little on the high side.
Just make sure that you don't cut too many corners on the materials used in the bed.
I live in a warm region and going for natural fibres throughout makes a big difference to us.
We don't use polycottons in the bedding either. Much more restful sleep if we're not overheating.
Try these guys http://www.vispring.co.uk/ 25 year gurantee and they are amazing, got one discounted
indeed - looks like compared to Reylon you get significantly more for your money with Harrisons, will have a proper look tonight I think.
