Homestores & More : Memory Foam Mattress €200 for King Size

CreepingDeath

I'd been on the lookout for a good memory foam mattress for a while.
Homestore & More had a good priced one today and it was seriously comfortable testing out the display model. (Fonthill Road)

Single : €125
Double : €175
King : €200

Shop Link

I've seen those useless 3" mattress toppers for nearly that price.

It comes vacuum packed in a box with built-in wheels so it can fit in the back seat of a car.

I know some people say that pure memory foam mattresses can be a little too warm in the summer, just in case that's a factor for anyone.

Thanks this looks good and Homedics is a quality brand.

I love this shop for bargains. They have lovely 5 burner stainless steel BBQ for 180 euro..

RayCon

I bought one of these the last time they were 1/2 price and I fully recommend them. Great matresses - sleep like a log.

Thanks OP. Just picked up a Double Mattress in the Limerick store. They had loads and it fit in the back seat of the car no problem. Just have to air it for 3 days now :rolleyes:

paddy147

Bought a double mattress out in Airside,Swords today.

Vacume packed and the box is on wheels too,so it means its a piece of pi55 to carry it/transport it

Fantastic quality and super comfy too.:D

Why do you have to air it for 3 days??

slave1

Because it will reek when taken out of the pack for the first time

kendragon

Yeah, as slave1 says, it has a very strong chemical smell. Sort of like how paint smells. Don't know if I can resist using it for three days though. Might just frebreeze the daylights out of it.

The king size has to be aired for 5 days.

It's also needed to let the crushed vacuum packed mattress expand out to full size/depth.

paddy147

well happy days anyway.:)

Sorry to be negative but I wouldn't pay 1 euro for one of these again. We got ours home and left it in the spare room for 6 days with the windows open for the majority of the time and STILL the smell was rotten. Slept on it for about 2 weeks and started to develop a rash on my arms and back (something to do with the chemicals used) and immediately stopped using it on the doctors advise. Within 5 days the rash was gone and the mattress was dumped. Google 'memory foam mattress reviews' to see many more stories like mine. Bought a Silent Night spring mattress on sale in Arnotts and it's a dream to sleep on.

Did you put a "mattress protector" on the mattress??;)

Was that a homedics memory foam mattress?

RobertFoster

Why did you dump it instead of returning it?

JAMM222

Picked one of these up earlier, it's in the spare room airing as we speak, looks good can't wait to try it out:cool:

paddy147

Reason why I bought this Homemedics Double Mattress out in Airside,Swords was and is the fact that it was going up into an attic conversion with a small spiral/twisty staircase.

Being in a box and vacume packed made it so easy to get it into the attic conversion.

It was used last night to sleep on,and I have to say that the person in question absolutely loves the feel and comfort of it.Double mattress protecter also used over the memory foam matttress.

So 175 euro very well spent IMO.

Oh and 10 euro for the double mattress protector too.

Thanks again to the OP.

tsuzmir

just to let everyone know: just purchased king size matterss in airside store and it scanned €175 instead of €200. should have said nothing and save myself €25 but....
just saying...

stunmer

Bought a double mattress myself from Homestores & More on the Belgard Road.

Thanks OP.

Just wondering do they thicken out after leaving them out? Mine is relatively thin. Should I have bought a topper also?

I've left it in the hall as I've no spare bed to put it on to air out. The reek of it. Glad I'm not using it tonight.

You have to leave them out for a few days.
I was told 5 days for the king size.

Yep, they definitely thicken out, they should end up at 17cm deep according to the box.

I was able to leave mine standing on it's edge, so it fattened out in 2 days, but I'll leave it the full 5 days.

Just bought one of the mattresses and also a duck feather and down double duvet half price €29.99 13.5 tog. So happy days just hope they both turn out to be all they're cracked up to be!!! Lots of pillows and various types of duvets all half price and we all know that when they're........ I'll get my coat!

Was there last night to try the dual sprung mattress with memory foam topper (€450 I think)
They were sold out by 2 hrs

Tried the others, the pocket sprung one wasn't bad but the memory foam felt awful

A mattress prictectior is a lined and elasticated sheet that goes ontop of the mattress itself.

It prevents general dirt,sweat and any fluids or spills from getting into the mattress.

The mattress protectors can be had in single,double and kingsize for feck all euros in Homestore & More and also Penneys.:)

Ah, to be a college student again on a Thursday night

Picked one up too, thanks OP
I unzipped the cover that came with the mattress, took it off and gave it a wash, thought it would smell fresher and also aid the airing process...

Ok, not to be thick (and tks for the pic btw) and maybe this is not the place for it but can you have a mattress, then a mattress protector on top and still make use of fitted sheets? It seems like a awful lot of depth with one on top of the the other?

I have a 10 inch thick kingsize mattress and the mattress protector fits over it just nicely.

So you should have no probem with adding a mattress topper to that memory foam mattress.:)

Have you ever spilled a cuppa tea or a cold drink while siting up in bed in the morning time?

Or the kids jumping up and down on their beds or your bed and they spill some of their fruit juice?

You ever sweat in bed at all???


Your body can expell around 1 litre of sweat/fluid a night when you are sleeping.


All the above are why a mattress protector is a good idea.;)

My husband and kids have done all of the above and I find mattress protectors on all the beds a MUST. Our new memory foam mattress is still in the box but can't wait to use it

seamey beag84

Bought mine today-thanks OP! I knew there would be a slight chemical smell from it, it'd be grand to leave in the room but Jayzus, the smell is powerful .. hope it wares off soon cause I wanna do some serious snoozin on it!

What kind of prices are the silent night brand? Is yours a double or king?

Lenny

its kinda hard to see it in the picture. but I am wondering because this is in a box.. is that basicly just a matress topper?
hardly yea just open this and put it on a bed base? I got the pillows last time they were on in HS&M and i can feel the pillows are not reutrning to their great shape anymore(and that just from the head lying on it) I would imagine the whole body weighing in more

Have you not been reading the thread then???

It is a propper mattress.

Its vacume packed and when its rolled out,it expands to 17cm in thickness which is just on 7 inches in thickness.

Its a propper memory foam mattress.


Read the thread will you.;)

That sounds like an extremely cheap memory foam mattress to me, can something of this price really be of sufficient quality?

I bought a memory foam mattress but my husband finds it WAY too hot and wakes up in a sweat each morning. Have heard other people complain of the same problem. Anyone got any suggestions?
