£1500 altogether - King size boxer bed from John Lewis cost about a £1000 and two men had to come and construct it in the bedroom
Mattress was £500.
It is really high up and firm and I love it. Its the most comfy bed in the world

If I was short of funds then I would buy a second hand solid wooden (real wood not Ikea tulipe) base and the best mattress that I could afford.

a) Is it a weird idea buying a bed for my brother and spouse?
b) How much did you pay for your current bed?
c) More curiosity really: what style bed do you have?

P.S no jokes saying that's the only thing that rises in my bed.

I wouldn't buy them one from IKEA - they'll be on the brink of divorce by the time they've assembled it.

We bought an Imperial size mattress (King size), which is plainly not compatible with continental (IKEA & some stores) frames. And vice-versa.

Paid about a grand. It`s an old aged knickel kind of four poster but with lots of bars - great for handcuffs and things.
Nothing wrong with buying a bed, but maybe not a good idea to go round shops with his Mrs testing beds out........
Not sure I would buy someone a bed they didn`t help to choose themselves - it`s quite a personal item.

Nothing like killing the moment than turning up in your lucky nights room and she's got a novelty hippo bed.
