What's the difference between the small double headboard (€106) & double headboard (€118)?

danjo-xx · 12-06-2014 08:30PM

Whats the mattress like on this, it says 'firm feel' is it very hard I wonder.

Have any of you received this yet? If so, what is the quality like for both the bed and the mattress?

Thanks.

Base comes in 2 sections. Draws are on similar basis as draws in dressing tables, rollers and guide rail. Base sections are basic wooden boxes covered with cloth/material. Not the type you would jump on. For €200 what could you expect. Each section has 4 roller feet to be inserted, decent quality. The 2 sections are joined together by 2 hardish plastic clips underneath. Unusual to me, but are adequate. The mattress is fine, it is more medium to firm than firm. Personally, it would be ideal for a teenager or a woman. With a large man it could eventually sag after a few years of sleeping on it., but again what could you expect for €200.

Anyone still waiting for this. I paid for this 4th June and no sign of it yet. Contacted Argos yesterday and waiting for them to get back to me.

How did you contact them?

They are normally quick to respond via. Twitter

darklighter · 26-06-2014 10:31PM

I was supposed to be getting mine Mon but they left a voicemail today to say delivery has been delayed due to "supplier issues"

DVD-Lots · 26-06-2014 11:01PM

Ordered on 5th June, delivered yesterday. They phoned me on the 12th with the delivery date of 25th. Still have to assemble but that'a job for Saturday afternoon tbh. Happy out so far.

KingJamsie · 26-06-2014 11:53PM

Still waiting! It can't come quick enough, current bed giving back & neck pain!

jordata · 27-06-2014 09:28AM

Mine was due to be delivered tomorrow but I got a call on Wednesday saying I won't have until Monday 7th. But unfortunate as I had plans to move the furniture tonight to make room. Hope it will be worth the wait.

Countdown1982 · 27-06-2014 11:09AM

Ordered on the 13th Jun, got phone call on 24th Jun regarding delivery on the 24- Jul. DVD-Lots can you let us know what the quality of the bed is like?

Don't depend on these cheap Airsprung beds to solve your back problems cos they won't. I was advised by the shop to buy a better bed but that was all the budget that I had at the time. They are okay for a spare room for occasional use but not every night use. I have since asked the shop where I bought mine if I could exchange it for a bed with a €100 higher price and they have agreed. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the mattress is only a budget type one with fillings only on one side but then what do you expect for less than €200

bonphoenix · 28-06-2014 02:28PM

Arrived today. Quality really is not great, one of the drawers does not even sit in properly! It just seems really cheaply made. Mattress is pretty hard and thin. The fact Argos are claiming it was €1224.99 is beyond ridiculous, they are pushing it at €189.99 even!! If we had of seen it before paying for it we wouldn't have bothered!:(

The shop (bigmickey.ie) where I bought mine warned me in advance to spend a bit more and buy a better quality bed but I did'nt listen. I have since asked them to exchange it for me and they did. They replaced it last night for " The Hilton " for €349 Its a 30cm thick mattress. The delivery driver was very helpful too. He brought it upsatairs for us. If you have not opened it you can ask Argos to take it back and issue a full refund. AS far as I am aware they have to honour this as its a long distance selling contract.

bidiots · 28-06-2014 03:18PM

I got pissed off waiting for the order and cancelled last Friday. My account still hasn't been refunded, ill be raising hell on Monday.
So, heads up, get ready for a battle

Jimfo1970 · 28-06-2014 03:41PM

I suppose we should not skimp on the price of a bed as you spend so much time in it.

I agree completely, no way could it ever have been over €1200, you get what you pay for tbh. The base was probably made for €20 and the matress is on the firm side. Will do for now as we needed a new bed on a budget but will definately be upgrading in the future. Buyer beware...... :rolleyes:

Marhay70 · 28-06-2014 11:01PM

Mine was due to arrive today but didn't appear. No phone call, no e-mail, nothing. I had cleared the room and waited in all day so I'm going to ring tomorrow and cancel, fcuk them.

munwin · 28-06-2014 11:39PM

Mine arrived yesterday but I refused delivery and sent it back. Very poor quality and that was only the mattress. Never even looked at the base. Certainly not a bed worth €1200 +. Not sure how the refund works but I must be in a much better position than if I had accepted it and then tried to send it back. Never buying a bed again without testing it first and I currently need to buy 3 new beds.

arrianalexander · 29-06-2014 03:37PM

not too worried as this is going to be used as a spare bed, and we have a matress topper that we will be using on it

Agree 100%, I did it once but never again, might be ok if you only want a guest bed.

+1.

If it was a bed for ourselves, I'd be spending significantly more than this on the mattress alone. But it'll be grand for the doghouse....I mean, the spare room!

Little A · 30-06-2014 05:52PM

I wish I had refused delivery. Definitely not a quality bed and would never have been worth 1200. Can I insist on them proving it was for sale at that price? Does anyone know if I have any chance to return it. The drawers are very dodgy. I I have unpacked it but it has not been slept in. We planned for a teenager but I doubt it would last a year!

I think when it comes to a bed with the packaging open Argos won't want to know. If it was unopened then I think there would not be a problem. I bought my Airsprung bed from a small company in Longford, bigmickey.ie. It was a little over an hour of a drive but I'm glad now that I did because when I asked if I could exchange it they treated me really well. I know people would not travel that far for a bed but in my case I'm am glad I did.

I've had 3 beds off him. The second and third I just ordered over the phone.

Jesus the amount of shill posts in this thread is shocking. Thanks to those who have updated with reviews on the actual product. Will do the same once ours arrives. Hoping the base is someway decent as already have a good mattress.
