He delivered to Galway for me - just had to wait a few days 'til he had some other deliveries in the area which was fair enough. Great communication throughout and the delivery showed up bang on time.

I am not out to convince anyone on here to buy anything from anyone including Big Mick. I just flagged what I purchased and that I am happy with his service and very happy with my first night on the mattress too I may add..

The point that I was making to you is that I would rather buy from someone with a proven track record. There are no negitive posts on here about shoddy stuff he sold or that he did not want to know if there was a warranty issue with anything that he sold any of us here and knowing people who have issues with suppliers tend not to spare venting their anger when they come on here. I have not noticed anything negitive but correct me if I am wrong.

Went to Big Mickey's shop on Saturday ordered a six foot rest assured memory foam bed, was told that it would be delivered on Tuesday, today is Tuesday and the bed is here. How is that for service. By the way the price was amazing and Mickey was great to do business with. He also threw in sheets free of charge. I thought I would post this here because this is where I heard about Big Mickey's. Thanks to all previous posters!

Just thought I'd share my own experiences, I saw some threads in the BA area regarding mattresses and needed one myself, travelling cross country during the weekend, I thought I'd pop in and take a look.

I was speaking to Mick himself and found that he was very helpful, putting mattresses down so that we could try them out and get a feel for them (with the plastic cover on of course) it was brilliant and really allowed us to make an informed decision.

Ended up getting a memory foam mattress that you could take away which was very handy.

Overall, a great experience and some serious bargains, so I'd definitely recommend it.

I was planning on going down with the missus over the weekend
She has her little heart set on a very luxurious king koil memory foam but
it's a bit pricey locally
Does he sell king koil or odearest matresses ?

Thanks daytob ill ring him tomorrow
Just to say Im replacing a 4 year old Silentnight Miracoil Cornflower superking matress that the springs went on both sides. At present we have to prop it up at the edges with books to stop the roll-off

It didn't get abuse. I nor my wife are heavy, just bad quality that cost a packet
So if anyone's thinking of buying one, think again !

Another happy customer and more free advertising.

I drove up last Saturday from Dublin to look at beds.
I bought a kingsize wooden framed one with a Holbein Mattress but decided on the way home that the wooden frame wouldn't suit the room due to the high headboard.

I gave Mick a call on the way home, told him what happened and changed it for a Divan with drawers.
It wasn't a problem and the bed arrived today with the extra headboard I ordered over the phone yesterday.
The Holbein Mattress is a 1550 pocket spring which I got for 349. and 300 for the divan with 4 drawers.

I've never had so thick a mattress...looking forward to using it tonight

I was looking at standard spring mattresses in bargaintown for €600.

Went to big mickeys last Thursday with the wife & kids.
Got a super-king Rest Assured pocket memory foam , 2 single memory foam sprung matresses & a few extra bits for just over €700
Mick is a gentleman & couldn't have asked for a better service , Ill have no problem recommending him to friends & family.

The only problem is it's so comfortable i cant get my wife out of the bed in the mornings
