Where to buy foam/memory foam mattress locally (and advice)

[Cedges]

I am looking to purchase a new mattress this weekend but am struggling to work out where, taxiable or busable (with a mattress,)I could pick one up from. Does anyone have any ideas?

As I am looking for a 4ft (small double, 3/4 bed) size my options with the big boys seem to be narrowed - Argos, Dreams, John Lewis, M&S, Sleepright cannot help.

Also, I'm a bit confused as to what I should be looking for - there seem to be regular foam, memory foam and latex options or various combinations - does anyone have an opinion on what is best? Also the thickness seems to vary - is there a minimum thickness I should look for? I'm looking for something relatively firm and for every night use. Obviously price is a factor too - I can splash out on something that isn't the cheapest but prob don't really want to spend more than about ?300 max.

Thanks for any advice in advance :-)

Thanks for the suggestion but ?695 turns out to be the only option and well out of my price range!!!

Paul Simon near Wickes at Catford Bridge but best bet to ring up as 4 foot is an odd size

We got a memory foam mattress topper from John Lewis, rather than a whole mattress. A double was about ?300 so should be within your range. It's fabulous. They have different options and I think ours was near the top of the range.
