We wanted a proper mattress for the over cab bed in our motorhome- the
supplied ones are ok but not for longer trips.

We opted for one from Ikea - about £100 from memory and (I think) King
Size (they are available in King Size). Various grades are available-
ours is a firm.

It is very comfortable- even on a hard under surface.

Don't be shocked by the way it is packed. I comes in a compressed roll
but expands when you removed the plastic.

Suspiciously cheap,

well yes, hence I asked. Then again I wonder why most mattresses are so expensive.

and WTF is orthopaedic spring system.

open coil springs are cheapest so presumably that.

But they use the term memory too.

"Our experience with Ikea mattresses is all positive. Our mattress lasted 18 months before the springs started sagging in the middle. Now we are looking for a new one researching https://slee****imple.co.uk/. We haven't decided ob a particular option, but we know for sure we
will NEVER buy an ikea matteress again."

I'd have thought that was probably faulty. Mattresses unless used as
trampolines last at least 4 or five years even under strong use. I'll not
suggest what strong use is here.

The life of a mattress depends on the weight of the user too

I must admit, that was the *very first* thought that occurred to me when
I read the OP.

Are there any other such basic products with such a wide price range? And
every single one being sold at a 'discount'. The full price markup over
manufacturing costs must be phenomenal.

Really? I've seen mattresses from about 60-3000 quid. But never apples
with that sort of price spread.

Fizzy drinks run from 17p to over £2 a bottle. If you've been to Waitrose you know food does range from 60p to £300 per meal, almost.

the new Apples start at over £4k but they do have 8 cores ;-)

I've seen wine and whisky with a wider range of prices.

More to the point, how come headboards now cost more than
most people paid for their entire bed (assuming more than a
few years old.

Surely a bit of MDF, with some padding and a bit of dralon
pinned over the surface cannot be that expensive ?.

Go in at 6PM Mon to Friday and computer automatically reduces the
prices of things like lemon yum-yums and assorted bread products
even if the shelf tickets have not been updated.

Memory foam ones are much better insulation than springs.
Which initially feels weird.
Hot & sweaty in Summer, only a sheet needed.
