It is possible to find a cheap bed for under £100 online. This would include the mattress set - not the frame or headboard. There are twin mattress sets that can be purchased for £49, full sets for £59 and queen sets for £68. The mattresses are available from various mattress liquidators.

 How can they afford to sell the beds so cheaply? They must be of poor quality, right? This is not necessarily true. There are stores that sell cheap mattresses that are from furniture liquidators, overstock, public and private auctions and bankruptcy settlements. Therefore, all cheap mattresses are not necessarily of poor quality. In fact, you can pay a lot of money for a bed and it can still be uncomfortable or not last as long as a cheaper bed.

 The mattress liquidators usually do not charge sales tax on the items they sell. In addition, the overhead is low so they can charge less for the beds. There are many where savings of up to 75% off the retail price of the bed can be achieved. Most of the beds will still be in the plastic that they came sealed in from the factory.

The stores may also sell damaged mattresses. The damage may be minor such as a rip in the covering but the mattress cannot be sold as new. In this case, the discount may be even more. If you are unsure of the mattress and think that it may not be comfortable because of the deep discounts, it is possible to try the mattress before deciding if this is the right choice. However, this is usually only possible if the online business has an actual store that is located near where you live. If the business has only a warehouse where they keep their beds before shipping them when they are ordered, this is not possible. 

What types of bed are sold by mattress liquidators? Are they just a plain mattress with no frills? The answer to this is no as well. The mattresses include a variety including pillow top and the single-sided mattress. This type is not designed to be turned over - it can be rotated. For those who have a reason for purchasing several mattresses, the price may be discounted even more.

Another place that you may find a cheap bed for under £100 is by looking for wholesalers who advertise their items online. There are sites where a variety of items are offered for sale and often the wholesalers put ads on the sites when they have purchased lots of the mattresses from wholesalers. Since they purchased the entire lot for one price, they sell the beds to consumers and make money on them.

 Large discount stores often buy beds from wholesalers as well. This allows them to offer great deals on beds. The discount stores do not have the overhead that smaller stores have such as salespeople that earn a commission when selling items. Although many people would not have thought it possible to buy a bed for under £100, it is certainly possible if you shop around and find a good deal.
