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

CreepingDeath · 09-09-2012 07:49PM #1

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 · 09-09-2012 08:27PM

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

Now that is good value, pity no shop near me

kendragon · 10-09-2012 12:22PM

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 · 10-09-2012 04:47PM

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 · 10-09-2012 05:04PM

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

kendragon · 10-09-2012 06:14PM

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 · 10-09-2012 06:51PM

well happy days anyway.:)

cs5 · 10-09-2012 07:03PM

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 · 10-09-2012 08:34PM

Why did you dump it instead of returning it?

JAMM222 · 10-09-2012 09:57PM

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 · 11-09-2012 02:33PM

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 · 11-09-2012 07:45PM

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 · 11-09-2012 09:55PM

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.

et101 · 12-09-2012 11:31AM

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.:)

achiman · 12-09-2012 05:34PM

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?
