Looking for a great single mattress for a dodgy back. I've been staying in some high end hotels with work over the past 6 months and they have made me realise that my own mattress is - well - a bit shíte!



Have you anything that fits this description? So I'd be looking for a firm one and I'm presuming most nice hotels use pocket sprung ones these days so I think I was lying on that type most of the time

Hi wonderwall900


We have quite a few in stock. We will have many different pocket sprung ones and we will have a couple of really firm ones without springs. Where do you live ? Can you call to us ?

Thanks

Hi



Dublin based



Have you a showroom here yet?

PS



How are you beating other prices online by upto 200 euros? Are all the mattresses 100% new?



I ask because there is a company in Dublin who notoriously re-sell the old mattresses they take off customers as new

That's an insulting question..

No, he is quite right to ask. There are loads of guys selling old recovered mattresses. We were on Joe Duffy last year talking about this terrible practice and you would not know what you have bought until you sleep on it. I have a video from the NBF (National Bed Federation ) in UK. I will dig it out and post it. Last week we were leaving in a load of old mattresses to a recycling centre and at the same time a company we know that sells off Facebook and Done Deal were taking out a load of old mattresses , springs and fillings so the recycling centre were getting paid on the double. We won't be going to that one again in a hurry.

Hi

We sell mostly brand new but we will have some new transport marked, clearance lines and ex display. We can beat most of the Dublin stores by more that 200 euro on most models. You can go back on boards.ie up to 9 years and you will find positive postings about us. We are just an hour from Lucan and about 70 per cent of our sales are to Dublin. Delivery is free and quick.

Thanks

not sure how to describe this but have a bed inside a window and need a low level headboard for a double divan bed. something about 50-80 cm above the back of the bed basically just to stop a pillow falling.

is this something you supply?

Hi BM,

I am thinking of getting the John Lewis based on feedback in the thread.

I already have purchased a mattress & divan from your shop across the road a few years back and am very happy with it.

I already have a divan for the mattress which i want to replace the john lewis mattress with but it isn't in great nick.

What kind of divans have you got (with and without storage) and what kind of prices are they?

TIA

Hi

We will have many bases. Some big brands like Harrison (maker of the John Lewis mattress) Sealy, Silentnight. Our standard RAZ base is 199 euro. The Sealy and Silentnight are 249 euro. Harrison is 300 euro. Drawers are 25 euro extra per drawer. We also get custom made base. You can pick a colour and type of fabric and we can order in for you. You can also supply your own fabric once it's suitable.

Thanks

They are made by Harrison Spinks for John Lewis. In the 4ft I think we have some 4000 pocket sprung left. They are all medium tension as far as I know.

Thanks for your reply. Medium will be soft for us (just read some reviews online on it). What else do you have in small double size, firm?

I had a firm Respa back care before the John Lewis and two months after buying it I'd still consider this one just as firm even though it's marked medium.

We have so many different ones and all in stock. We get customers that spend many hours reading reviews and think they have their mind made up based on those reviews but when they eventually call to our shop and try out the different ones, they end up buying something totally different than planned.

We have mattresses as hard as the floor and as soft as cotton wool and loads in between.
Thanks

Hi all,

Enquired about the John Lewis mattress with bigmickey. They offered to drive the mattress to my address in Dublin, to try it out with my partner, with absolutely no obligation to buy. They could not have been more helpful.

We decided to go with the mattress, as it felt very comfy.

Really was a fantastic service.

Hi chases0102

Glad you were happy with the service. We will do this where possible for customers but it's always better to call to our shop if you can as there is a big range of mattresses to try out. Great to hear it worked out for you. Sleep well.

Thanks for the business

Hi Mick,

I bought a John Lewis mattress from you last year, super mattress, very happy with it.

Do you have that mattress for a 4 ft double bed? I'm looking to replace the mattress in my daughter's bedroom.

John Lewis plc would be well impressed to find us selling their product for half the price that John Lewis themselves are selling it for. The reason for the "Seconds" stamp is that it gives the manufacturer an "out" should John Lewis decide to raise it with them. As you will have seen, your mattress was brand new and unopened. We are informed that the manufacturer made a slight mistake with the print on the label and John Lewis returned all 2500 mattresses. As they are such a large company (John Lewis) they could not be seen to misrepresent anything to their customers for fear of a back lash. In the beginning the manufacturer removed the labels completely. This was a very slow procedure and damaged and devalued the product as the labels are stitched on (see video below) before the top cloth is fixed to the mattress and you could see the holes from the stitching. They then decided to stamp them "Seconds" and "Clearance". This then gives them an "out" if John Lewis gets on to them about the likes of us selling them at a very low price compared to John Lewis shops.

This is nothing new. Most of the bed companies do this. Some remove the labels completely. Some stamp them as "Seconds" and some as "Clearance". If anyone is concerned about these stamps on the labels then by all means go to John Lewis direct and pay double the price for the same product
