abwsco Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Can anyone recommend any online places please. DD has seen one at TJ Hughes but I'm not sure what they're like from there. Looked at Ikea but the doubles are all too big for the alcove by a small amount:wall: Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Can't comment on the best place to buy a bed but TJ Hughes stuff is fine. They sell brand names and I've had great bargains from there. Have you seen the bed at TJ Hughes in the flesh? It might be worth a visit if you are within reach of one of their stores.

abwsco Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks Claire We do have one we can visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Just keep away from the ladies wear, they have leather gloves for a fiver or less and always have a great selection of bargain handbags, and a range of clothing similar to Per Una but a lot cheaper. Oh, and the kitchenware is great and cheap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipichick Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have always found Argos very good, for cheap but comfortable beds. Ikea beds can be a false economy as they are very reasonably priced but because they aren't 'standard' size, it is very difficult to get sheets on stay on them, unless you buy from Ikea. To my misfortune I have always found Ikea bedding to be very cheaply made and very expensive Good luck with the bed hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 When we got married (over 20 years ago) we bought a bed from http://www.warrenevans.com/ and it is still as sturdy as when we bought it, replaced the mattress a couple of times (the original mattress was great but none last 20 years +) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks everyone Am fed up with looking so have ordered the one she saw at T J Hughes. Only irritating thing is that we have to wait for it to arrive but it would have been the same if we'd gone instore apparently We're now looking at bedding She's like me as well.

MarkBevBen Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Awww shame you've already ordered the bed - hopefully you've not too long to wait for it to arrive. Have to say we can't fault Warren Evans in service or products and have never looked back. When we were looking around for a new bed, even the manager of the bed department in our local John Lewis recommended them http://www.warrenevans.com/ Even though they're based in London, they do deliver UK wide and they come and build the bed for you and everything. We treated ourselves to a superking, tempur materess and pillows ahhhhhh If you're looking for nice bedding, Next have a lovely range in at the moment, maybe worth a look http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/homeware/bedding#LID=01_02_08_02_01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
