Good deal on beds/mattresses

    Recently moved house and on the look out for bargains, I kept an eye on this page. I was disappointed having traveled from Dublin to Longford searching for a good bed and mattress, when lots of boardsies appeared to get great deals at bigmickeys. Prices were decent there but not worth the trip, IMO.

    However, following some local road signs, I was surprised by the bargains to be had bed wise at Comfort beds outlet/clearance shop in Tallaght. Its pretty much behind the Maldron hotel - South City Business Park, Whitestown Way to be precise.

    From the Tallaght bypass leaving town, take a left before the Maldron Hotel, and a right at the first roundabout, the industrial estate is the first right.

    A lot of very nice beds/mattresses, pretty high end and a decent enough range, saving yourself a few hundred euro (maybe more). Was more than happy with the 5ft Sealy mattress we picked up for 425. Comfort also have a shop in Ballybrack I think. Never been there, and Im not sure if they have the same prices in the shop.

    Just something to throw into the mix if you are looking for a good mattress/bed bargain.

    a lot of the furniture shops seem to be struggling or closing, so i suspect there is a lot of good bargains to be had. i got my kingsize pocketsprung and memory foam mattress from prestige bedcentre behind woodies on the naas road. it was 399 euro.

    2 reasons why i bought it. no deposit needed, which was reassuring. and 3 years warranty which is great. now i know the warranty is useless if the shop closes tomorrow.
    but hey.

    I am in desperate need of a new bed and I know the shop in Ballybrack well! Thanks for the tip OP, I was going to head to IKEA on saturday but might pop in there tomorrow evening first, pretty sure they open late on Thursdays


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 246 ✭✭LandoCalrissian


    Thanks OP

    Just wondering did they have many bed bases as I have a very good quality mattress but need a new base

    Another place, closer to ikea, that is doing a good deal on some beds (we have been over and back throughout the country) is Robert Scott Interiors in Glasnevin. They have some good deals on beds and furniture for that matter - not quite the range or consistent savings as the Comfort clearance warehouse in Tallaght - but it would be another possibility.

    Thanks OP

    Just wondering did they have many bed bases as I have a very good quality mattress but need a new base

    We were looking for the opposite (had a base, needing a mattress) so couldn't be 100% certain but it was mainly mattresses and divan sets that were on show - and there didnt appear to be many/any bed bases. Maybe, give the shop in Ballybrack a ring.

    We got our bed base from Flanagans in Mount Merrion if that is any use to you. Reduced apparently from 1200 to 400. I do mean apparently, but we were happy with it. I see they have a sale on at the moment from the papers. As the last post, Robert Scott Interiors had a better than normal sale on and you might see something there. Lots of nice things that we would have liked in that shop at what I thought were reasonable prices, including stylish bed bases.

    We found beds.ie good too.
    Got the most lovely bed there at 1/2 the shop price and customer service was also very good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    Lookin myself for a good double-matress

    Argos have some down from 900 euro to about 250/300

    Memory foam layer, no turn

    But Id rather a physical shop-around too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,196 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    I always use Mattress Man in the UK for any mattress I purchase - great prices and free shipping to Ireland !

    would you try them out in a shop before choosing and ordering online?

    Yep - try it out locally and then order it online

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Morgans


    I did search online, including mattressman and beds, and thought there was decent value in both those compared to many/most bricks and mortar shops in Ireland. However, whatever savings that you could get from them can be matched in the bricks and mortar shops mentioned above - maybe not on all beds.

    I would definitely decide what bed you want first (by trying it out) and then search for the price. If the online shops sell it cheaper, fantastic, but in my experience there was little difference (if any) on the beds that appealed to me, in the shops mentioned above.

    If anyone has found cheap quality bedroom sets (duvets, sheets, etc) it would be great to know.....

    (i understand mods, bargain requests is that a way---->)

    What my wife and I did was send big mickey a picture of a bed from another website and advised him what we were looking for, it took a week or two but he came back with a very high quality mattress from the pocket sprung bed company.

    So we got a pocket sprung king size mattress with a king size base including drawers, he also gave us a Stuart Jones headboard all delivered to Limerick for under 1000 Euros.

    We priced the EXACT same bed in an Irish store for over 2,500 Euros not including the same headboard.

    To say my wife was happy was an understatement, I love a good bargain and have`nt stop telling every one in work about it since.

    Who or what is Big Mickey? Not something I want to type into Google...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭daytob


    Who or what is Big Mickey? Not something I want to type into Google...

    bigmickey.ie

    he sells beds and furniture along the n4 in a store but the prices he charges for most of his beds are completely different to what you would pay in hardley normal or any other bed store. we got a super king size bed with a huge matteress and matteress topper well worth over 4k for €850 and that included delivery.

    there is a big mickey thread on here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 728 ✭✭✭pablo21


    Who or what is Big Mickey? Not something I want to type into Google...

    Furniture store in longford. There's quite a large thread about him on here already see here so I wont rehash my experience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭eddieham


    like many others on boards we heard about Bigmickey from the now closed thread on beds.
    Without hesitation we would recommend and encourage anyone looking for furniture/bedding to take a visit to Micks.
    We have absolutely no connection or ties to Mick other than we got a fantastic "bargain" on what we bought and I thought it worth putting up in Bargain Alerts
    We were looking for a replacement super king matress and I had priced in many different outlets both bricks & mortar stores and online .The only day we were both free to travel from Kilkenny was new years eve and Mick met us at the shop and opened up for us.
    The man is a pure gent, no hard sell or pushing and he lets us wander round at our leisure (3 kids running riot aswell!), we must have being in the store for nearly two hours.
    Ultimately we ended up purchasing a super king mattress, sheets and covers for same, a leather 3 piece suite, footstool, 2 x floormats and 40yds of timber flooring for the livingroom.
    None of our purchases were impulse as were looking for all and had priced and viewed elsewhere, just didnt realise bigmickey stocks as much as he does.
    Overall I reckon we saved roughly 30%.
    We took delivery of all our bits on Saturday as arranged and received regular calls from both Mick and the driver as to his ETA.
    We are more than happy with quality and comfort of all but the mattress is just unbelievably comfortable.Its huge aswell at 31cm deep.We replaced a mid range silentnight and the difference is like night and day, it really is fantastic. Mick has being in contact twice since delivery to make sure everything was in order and that I had enough timber for the floor.
    Above and beyond customer service and aprox 30% savings make this a Bargain Alert for me

    oh dear, ive already payed for it. i wonder does big mickey have any left, with the ad being 22 days old im hoping not so i wont feel so bad:) i wonder do argos take the money straight away or not until they have confirmed the delivery date? i shall ring mickey tomorrow if they havent taken the money yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 229 ✭✭silverwex


    We recently moved into a new house and bought a few from Big Mickey - great service and quality tbh.

    Ordering from the UK can be a good idea too - Cheap Mattresses source the cheapest in England - delivery can be a bit extra though.

    Best of luck! :)


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Not really any bargains to be had in comfort ballybrack :(

    Think I found my perfect bed in beds etc though, it's like heaven and is down from €1,799 to €899. I wasn't necessarily planning on spending that much but my god it's gorgeous! I can't remember the name of the bed but going back in the morning!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    I gotta give another Thumbs up to Big Mickey... Been a year and a half since we got our bed from him and we're still telling people about it. We spent a month traveling around the states, stayed in some class hotels and slept on many fancy beds. Still, got home and into bed and swear it's the best thing we've ever slept on.

    I'm not sure how the OP didn't spot any good deals while he was there. €425 for a 5ft Sealy mattress, you'd have got a base, headboard and duvet for that down in Longford. I remember we where looking at Sealy and Silientnight beds when we got ours, they where between €5-600 for 6ft base, mattress and headboard.

    We're actually heading back down in the next week or so cause the missus wants to get some new bits for the house..

    Hi whoopsadaisydoodles, Never been to the shop in Ballybrack myself, just the outlet clearance warehouse they have in Tallaght. Definite value to be had there. It was a longshot that the same value was to be had in the shop.

    Unklerosco, the only decent deal in bigmickey's when i was down there was a sealy's mattress in a bag. I didnt need a base or headboard. What I got was sealy's mattress - (posturopaedic, pocket sprung, memory foam and cushion top) and was better than the mattress in a bag or what was on offer in bigmickeys IMO. It was a long way to travel to be disappointed. There was very very few bargains that knocked my eye out. Even some of the bedding (throws, duvets) were decent but nothing to drive to Longford for. There was more than one bed/mattress that struck me as being good value in the Comfort outlet and had I to buy a second bed, my first port of call would be the comfort outlet again, or Robert Scott Interior sale. This is the mattress that I got. http://www.beds.ie/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1096

    Just adding that I have absolutely nothing to do with any furniture shop anywhere, just that we have been waiting to move into our new house for over 6 months and I have sat on a lot of beds and been viewing lots of bargain alerts. Simply passing on my opinion. It was a surprise to me that there was nothing mentioned on here about the Clearance shop in Tallaght. Disappointed that they dont offer their shop customers the same value.

    Hi all,

    Im more a lurker than a poster but have to take this opportunity to recommend big mickey seen as the previous thread was closed!!!

    Having trawled through all the recommendations on the other thread we went down to visit his shop just over 2 weeks ago after I convinced the hubby we could get a good deal - I badly wanted & needed a new bed due to my bad back and just didnt have the type of money that would be expected in hardley normal or any other similiar place.

    I didnt have any particular brand name or type of bed in mind - all I wanted was something that was comfortable and kingsize (our previous bed was double and from I**a - we live in a rented house so it was what the landlord had put in for us).

    We spent around an hour with mick looking at loads of different mattresses and bed bases and finally decided on a leather bed frame with a silentnight memory foam mattress (it came rolled up and vacum packed, I had seen loads of other posters on the other thread raving about them), because the mattress was rolled up we were able to take it home with us there and then, the bed frame was delivered 3 days later - free of charge from longford to dublin and took 2 of us less than an hour to put together!!!! The whole lot cost approx 400 - we later looked up an identical base in arg0s and it was 470 for just the base and the mattress was another 400 on top of that (plus that was only for a double sized mattress!)

    To say we are delighted is an understatement, have been raving about the place and the bed since we got it and most importantly have slept like a baby everynight since, my problem now is getting out of it in the mornings as its so comfortable not like previously when my prob was getting out of bed because my back was aching!!! My mam and dad are actually goin down to see him to get a mattress the same as ours.

    The only regret I have is that I didnt hear about the place sooner as when we moved in here we bought a new suite of furniture and table and chairs and now realise we could have got them cheaper from mick! Even the husband that hates spending money :D has said more than once that it was definitely the best money he ever spent and reckons (as do I) that we couldnt have got a better deal anywhere else!

    Ive no hesitation in recommending this place and will most definitely be goin back soon as the kids all need new mattresses - just have to convince scrooge (hubby) :D

    We just got back from Mick's this evening, and I cannot sing his praises enough. We had heard about him through donedeal.ie and here on boards.ie, but to be honest we didn't expect to get the deal that we did.
    We got (quite easily) about 3k worth of really high quality bed, mattress and headboard (superking)for 650 euro including delivery (to Dundalk), and we had spent a very long time going into LOTS of large furniture stores, and looking things up online, but after being down in Mick's I can honestly say that I would never shop for my furniture anywhere else.
    The great prices combined with just lovely service made it so easy for us to decide on what we wanted- he opened the warehouse the day before his sale so we could get in to look (as it was the only day we were able to make it down), and he showed us lots of different options, with absolutely no pressure to buy what 'he thought best', he listened to what we wanted and really did help us find it.
    He has a brilliant selection of such a wide range of furniture for really knock down prices, and I'm delighted we drove down (nearly a 5 hour round trip!), because it really was worth our while. He even said if we got our headboard home and it wasn't right there was no problem changing it for one more suitable!
    We will definitely be going back down- he has lovely sofas (we unfortunately don't need another one- despite what the girlfriend thinks) and he said the stock changes all the time, so I think the next time we go down we might see even more things we want- I know we already spotted our kitchen chairs, a tub chair and bedroom furniture we liked. It's shocking to think the inflated prices we were going to pay in large retail stores... there must be at least 500% mark ups, and I have to say it was really refreshing to meet a salesman who I really don't feel was trying to screw us over. I honestly believe he gave us a brilliant price for what we got, and I look forward to shopping with him again.

    I know emo72, I've been searching all the big stores for ages for a bed, I'm actually so lucky, I was about to part with 1,200e in a certain H Norm shop in Dundalk (that was without delivery and a headboard). I just checked out the price of the headboard we got today and it comes to £550 sterling. I am actually shocked. Mick is a very good, nice, genuine and actually very funny salesman.

    Will defo be back again to kit out the rest of the house.
    Its well worth a trip down to his warehouse, its crammed full of stock, and Mick is a very knowledgeable salesman, he's been in the buisness for over 20 years he was telling us. And get this, I just got a text off him to tell me that his van is all loaded up with our delivery and he'll be down to us before lunch time with all our gear. - also forgot to mention, we were buying sheets for the bed, but he said beacuse the mattress we bought was so thick he was going to get them altered by a alocal woman, just to ensure they fit correctly then ship them down to us once they are altered. SHOCKING STUFF. This man will just kill you with kindness...

    wow.that is truly amazing. altering sheets and all. i dont know how this guy makes a profit. he should try advertise more, so everyone will get a great deal.

    Just purchased a Silentnight Miracoil 3 kingsize mattress off Michael for the princely sum of €135 delivered. Not the biggest purchase of anyone on here but a hell of a lot cheaper than anywhere else i priced one ( 200 odd euro cheaper to be exact ) Big thumbs up to him and will defo be purchasing again in the future. Delivery tomorrow evening so will have a nice new mattress to fall unconscious on tomorrow night :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭shamu2new


    I got a really good quality Sealy Kingsize Mattress from www.bigmickey.ie yesterday for what I think is a great price - Euro 299 including delivery to Dublin.

    Ive been pricing mattresses for a couple of months and found out about mick from bargain alerts here. I see the original thread was closed by mods so I cant thank unklerosso the original poster for the alert so am posting my thanks here!

    Mick definately gave me a great bargain in my book and great service, the deal was done over the phone no problems. I just described what I wanted Mick sourced this mattress for me, delivery was great on time etc and he even just rang me today to see if everything was ok - In my book definately a bargain - sealy @ 299 kingsize - check out Mick before making a purchase I will fully recommend him to anyone and will definately buy from him again.

    He advertises on donedeal etc a good bit and word of mouth... I've sent him a load of business from boardsies and a load of my mates have gone down to him.

    I'm heading down to him this weekend to get a new bed n a few bits for the spare room...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭shamu2new


    Well PJ with all due respect if thats directed at me - Im not a newbie here - been a member of here and adverts for years - when boards was hacked I lost my old login like everyone else but didnt merge it with my new one.

    The thread is called good deal on beds/matresses - I was alerting people to a good deal I got and good service and also wanted to thank the op as I never heard of the vendor until I read his thread - thats the whole point of this great part of boards - helping each other out to bargains. Anyway I guess this whole bargain alerts part of boards is a sort of advertising as people name where bargains can be got.

    I am also skeptical about the way newbies (no one in particular) kept cropping up in a previous thread and again on this one. And his advertising on done-deal was very very generic. Advertising his monthly huge sales.

    One of the most disappointing trips Ive made was to get to Edgeworthstown on the back of the recommendations here. I could have been the unlucky one, but not only were the beds disappointing but the furniture also.

    But, given that he is now advertising on adverts, everyone can see for themselves and make their judgments from there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,776 ✭✭✭podge3


    Is Bigmickey open to haggling? I've seen some of his stuff on Donedeals and may be interested if I can get a few more € off.

    I'm not going to give my feedback again as I gave lots of details in the previous thread that was closed, about all the bargains I got off Mick. I've referred all my friends to him and the worst I've heard back was that "he didnt have what I was looking for, but he said he'd see what he could do".
    I think over 25000 people viewed that thread and there now seems to be almost 4000 views on this one. Now I haven't read all posts, but I have read alot of them and I wouldn't be too far out in saying that they were over 90 % extremely positive feedback. Alot were from long time members of boards, even a few admins, and some were from newbies. Does that mean the feedback is of less validity because the user was new, or is there some suggestion that the whole thing is a very well run marketing campaign? Either ways what I have gleaned from shutting down of the previous thread and sustained effort to shut this one down, is that there is more at play here than us general boards user's are being made aware of? Maybe the competition sees almost 30,000 targeted hits with positive feedback being displayed so publicly and so free that it irks them a little. Maybe somebodies thinking they should be paid/rewarded for this level of advertising/exposure. I dont know and I dont really care. I love boards for the gathering of minds and information that it is. From the free tech support I get, to wasting a half an hour reading the personal issues section, to being able to give out directly to a member of vodafone and get a response, and above all being able to inform other people of my experiences in any field and give my feedback positive or negative in any area. I've discovered loads of cheap offers on bargain alerts from the early days of cdwow hong kong to cheap furniture in longford (Not edgeworthstown) and I'd hate to think there was anything that might try in anyway to subdue that free flow of public information.
    As Ken Brochman would say, "Thats my two cents!"
    And I dare anyone call me a newbie!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,776 ✭✭✭podge3


    I'm happy to say that I have now joined the long list of Big Mick's satisfied customers.

    I traveled today to his premises from my home in Co. Tipp. It was a bit of a trek but well worth it. He had been very helpful over the phone and had sent pics of what I was hoping to buy.

    I drove away with a top of the range bed for a fraction of the price I would have paid for it elsewhere. I didn't like the headboard so he swapped it for a much more expensive one for no extra charge.

    I can't really understand why some posters on here are questioning Micks good feedback. I contacted him for the first time last Friday after seeing this thread and I am happy to report that he is as good as almost everyone on here says he is.

    BTW, I have been on Boards for over 8 years so I think I have passed the newbie stage :D.

    I was back down at the weekend, picked myself up one of these
    http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/6607294/Trail/searchtext%3EGUEST+BED.htm

    And got new duvets, pillows, sheets and a good few other bits that the missus wanted. I totted the total price I should have paid at around €480. I paid less that what the bed alone costs on the Argos website, and it was delivered today.. I was only down with him yesterday! Great service again...

    A van left just before I arrived so that was probably heading in your direction.

    My mrs also picked up a full set of bedding stuff - at a bargain price.

    And Mick gave me a bottle of vino on the way out the door. I'm enjoying a glass now :D

    i am also an extremely happy customer of Mick's.

    After reading the previous on here ovr the weekend, me the hubby & the kids decided to go on a "road trip" from Dublin on sunday to visit 'big mickey'

    when we got there we had a look round the showroom and then after about 10/15 mins i spoke to Mick who was very helpful, in the end i bought a gorgeous 4'6" bed from him at an excellent price. Also got sheets, pillows, rug & picture for my sons bedroom all of whihc were at rock bottom prices!!

    When i was paying i asked when will it be delivered and they said early in the week which i was delighted with but then on sunday night when i got home i got a txt to say it would be delivered the next day, then on monday i got a phone call to say that it would be with me soon, then a txt to say that the driver was on his way to swords and then he was coming to me and then i also got a call from the delivery driver to say that he was leaving swords!

    Couldnt fault the service at all, Mick is so friendly and the customer service he provides is faultless - a lot of other companies could learn a thing or two from him!!

    Highly recommend him to anyone!

    Will def be getting other furniture from him in the future!!

    Guys, I'm on the lookout for an oak tv unit (or something similar) and a couple of glass dispaly cases (oak) - anyone been there recently advise on what he has in stock at the moment? Anyone spotted any?
    Am heading to Dublin tomorrow and could detour en-route to this place but don't want to make it a wasted trip.
    Thanks!

    Just give him a bell and he'll tell you before you call. It'll save you the trip. I showed him around my house when he delivered the first bed and told him the rough idea of what I'd be looking and he's been picking me up bits and pieces ever since!

    Actually he has quite a few in his shop ATM. I saw them last Monday when I was down with him. I wasn't in the market for any but the cheap prices caught my eye.

    Hi.

    Went to Comfort Beds today in Tallaght looking for a super king size in the high end. Heres' the prices I came out with:

    Sealy Plantnium Range:
    Clark Haven €565
    Ceder Grove €619

    Sealy Gold Range:
    Cumbrian Medow €469

    Sealy Millionaire Ortho €285

    Rest Assured:
    Silver Moon 1400 Spring Latex €519
    Blue Lilly 1000 Sprint Memory Foam €469
    Ortho 1000 Spring No Foam €369

    Some excellient prices to be honest and does give big mickey a run for his money, Factoring in the cost of fuel to get to Longford from Dublin and delivery as required i'm not sure if bigmikey is better, that said I have put it to him to see if he can come back with a 2400 spring latex top mattress for the same as Comfort Beds are doing the 1400 for. I did ask the sales agent who was very friendly if they were transport damaged beds etc, he claims they are not and they are baically acting as a factory outlet for the SilentNight Group as all companies i.e Rest Assured, Sealy and SilentNight are part of said Group.

    But I have to say, I would rate the Rest Assured higher than the Sealy Cushion top, it was a bit too much for me, i'm only 80kg and it felt strange.

    are those Sealy prices for mattress and base? base with drawers?
