    Simple: Argos

    I know it sounds weird and cheapo, but the beds are very modern, inexpensive and the matresses are very comfortable.

    I've had one for 3 years, and have had no problems.

    See: www.argos.co.uk

    This is great I was thinking of getting one in Argos too!! Thanks snap.!! Hey Healio Argos do that 6 month interest free credit thing so if you're a bit strapped for cash you could get it that way. It'd give you the option of spending a bit more if you wanted and you'd have 6 months to get the monies together and pay no interest! :p

    I bought a bed recently in argos,

    After lookingin all the stores, harvey, bargintown, des kelly,ect Argos was by far the cheapest, the bed i got was 425 in one shop. 380 in another 375 in another, and 325 in argos! same bed! and free delivery! where most of the others would charge!

    so my advice is to look in stores, and find a bed you really like, then get it in argos!(as you cant test sleep the ones in arogs catalog!)


    tom!

    Best place I Know of to buy a bed is Navan, their are loads of great furniture shops we got a huge 6ftX6ft6 double bed with latex mattress for €1600 the cheapest we could get it for in Dublin was €3000.

    We only moved here a year ago and we had bought some furniture from argos but after looking around the local furniture shops and up in Dublin we couldn't believe how much cheaper the stuff was in Navan sometimes even the same makes and brands.

    Having said that argos have some great stuff and we bought a single bed from them but they charge €35 for delivery outside of Dublin.


    Also if you ever wanted a custom sofa there is a place down here that has hundreds of styles and materials but they will also make a sofa to your exact specification.

    Homelands Centre in Bray have a large selection of Beds and Mattresses.
    I bought a really nice 6'4" bed for €220, and a lovely mattress for about the same. The staff are really helpful, and the delivery people are reliable.

    I've always wondered, if you turn over when trying to sleep, do you not keep swaying on the 'waves', and in turn does that not keep you awake?

    Just buy it from a furniture shop and don't google anything or anything like that. Just go into a shop and know what you're getting. :/

    Have people really lost the basic capacity to walk into, or look up, a furniture store without asking a discussion forum first?

    I was hoping for some recommendations on where is good value. And maybe some discussion as this is a discussion forum.

    People have more options these days Jim. Even the likes of IKEA. It's no harm to ask for recommendations before making a trek out to wherever

    And some people don’t live in towns or cities with a lot of options.

    I don’t know why Jim’s bothered about what questions people ask. If not interested in a particular thread move onto another one.

    This is a discussion forum Jim.

    A discussion forum is a cyber space where participants discuss things.

    Some people might like to offer advice and recommendations on bed buying.

    It’s good to remember that participating in or even reading discussions that you’re not interested in is not compulsory.
