You might try IKEA. When we decided to send back the rented furniture (when the insurance company stopped paying for it) we bought an IKEA bed and one of their pocket spring mattresses, I just looked back at the order and the mattress was £230! We didn't go overboard because we will demote this bed to a guest room when we move in, but it has been very comfortable for just over a year so far. The only criticism I have is that it has foam padding which can be a bit warm in hot weather. Their 'high end' is probably £600 and might have natural padding rather than foam.
The one we lost in the house fire was a pocket sprung Hypnos with wool padding which was extremely good to sleep on.- you should be able to get something like that under £1000.
Furniture is indeed the land of rip-off as you probably know. Most of the retailers use "deals" and "sales" to draw in the customers. Things like beds and mattresses even when known brands are nearly always versions 'exclusive' to the retailer so they can name and establish any exaggerated full price they want and you can't easily make price comparisons. By establishment I mean they offer it at an inflated price for 28 days and then they can sell it for 6 months at 50% off.
If you can compare materials, number of pocket springs, coverings etc you can more or less figure out what it is they are selling and check online prices.
EDIT I see bt has shot my fox on different names and comparisons.
