I'm off mattress shopping soon. I did go to Ikea but I thought their mattresses were quite expensive for not necessarily the best quality or comfort. I've done a search through here about the various places and have a list in hand and will be checking out: Intercoil, Home Centre, Pan Emirates, Everrest and Carrefour. Any other places I should consider? Another question: Intercoil has a shop by MoE and there's another shop in Karama, is it reasonable to assume that the Karama branch is slightly cheaper for the same mattresses?

Carrefour has the cheapest prices and when I was in there for the food shopping the other day I tested a few of the mattresses and they were surprisingly comfortable, well, at least as comfortable as some of the more expensive mattresses in other stores. Has anyone had a long term experience with Carrefour mattresses and did they hold up well?

We recently bought a Silent Night from Debenhams @25% off... it is the most COMFY mattress... Hmmmm... maybe I should go back to bed and enjoy it some more! Just make sure that you measure your old one as bed sizes vary by name depending on where they are from, so check the size.. ie. 150 x 200 or 180x 200 etc..

Matress shopping is such a farce ! I got an Ikea bed but the matress from Home Centre which I liked and was nice and big didnt fit ! the Ikea matress was over priced and not as good as the home centre one. In the End I got one made from Karama . the bloke came and measured the bed and I chose the matress and it was made for me. Took about a week.

I just bought a Silent Night mattress from Homes R Us yesterday. They are 25% off at the moment. Debenhams sells the same brand but they aren't on sale there. It was at the Arabian Centre.

Debenhams have great matresses from reupted companies Tempur matress is what we have and worth every penny (and it cost a lot of them) IMHO
