What Bed Can I Get For My Money?

Expectation and realty. It would be economical with the truth to suggest that the two always match. In fact, these elements can sometimes be surprisingly unrelated – particularly where beds are concerned. In this post, we delve under the covers to help you understand a little better what you can realistically expect from a bed for your money.

Cost Breakdown

When you buy a bed, you are not simply paying for the product. Aside from manufacturing costs and the price of components, there are a number of other connected expenditures that also influence a price of a bed. These include research and development, product design, testing, staff remuneration, delivery, etc.

When you see two mattresses of similar specification that do not mirror one another in price, the reason for this may be that a vendor of one of the products is spending more financial resources, or less, on one of the above factors. For instance, at Kaymed we have a commitment to researching and developing beds that will provide a great nights sleep. While our modern production facilities allow us to manufacture extremely high quality products which provide great value for money.

What to Expect from Your Budget

There are some rules of thumb that should give you an idea of the type of bed spec you can expect for a certain budget. At around £100, for example, the best bed you should expect to get is an open coil model with a thin inferior materials.

A midrange budget of around £400 meanwhile, should facilitate the purchase of a better quality, pocket sprung mattress. Premium mattresses such as those provided by Kaymed, which for the main part will contain premium fillings, high density and high spec components, you will likely be looking at having to spend more. Manufacturers such as Kaymed who manufacture their own materials have significantly more control over achieving consistent levels of high quality.

Tips for Getting the Most out of Your Budget

Only pay for what you need – try to highlight the areas that you consider most important for your bed. For instance, if longevity is more important to you than overall comfort, opt for a model that has higher build quality rather than one that comes with supplementary comfort layers.

Consider spending more for longevity – low cost models, such as those that use polyester as a component, may not last long. In the long run, it may make more financial sense to pay a little more for a higher quality mattress that will require replacing less frequently.
