I've paid about £300 for a double premium, including premium delivery (meaning they'll take away my old one). It seemed too good to be true at first but it's direct from their website. Having just checked, seems I was lucky - the best deal on there now is 55% off (still good, mind). 60% if you join the mailing list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted July 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2023 I wasn't sure where to post this but seeing as I posted about expecting an Emma mattress earlier, I thought I would just carry on here. So it was delivered. It took me ages to unpack it with all of the plastic around it and then "whoosh!" it sprang out. No cutting tool that is meant to be provided which seemed odd but the mattress is fine (at least I think it's fine) so thought nothing of it. 2 hours later, the delivery drivers turn up again. "We've given you the wrong box!". "Errr, the mattress is on my bed" I said before buzzing them in. So I let them in and sure enough, it had someone else's name on the box (I really should have checked). We checked the size and label and it was the same product. "Okay, it's the same" they said before going away again. An hour later they came back asking for the box. It seems that they worked out they could just swap the contents of the box and nobody is any wiser (especially as there was no tape, just those flap things). Now it's got me wondering if this has happened before with this mattress and why I didn't have the cutting tool etc in the box . "Premium delivery" apparently. At least they've taken away my old mattress, the box and plastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it’s cancelled orders but might have been lightly used and returned during the trial period. It might explain the missing tool, and could have had someones hairy, sweaty arse on it already… Edited July 7, 2023 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good - the mattress seems fine and has that "new mattress smell". In fact, the mattress seems better than fine - I've just had a quick lay-down on it and it's great now it's had time to breathe. Much, much better than what I had before. It might take some time to get used to though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
