Where to buy a bed?

The Big Bed Company.
I bought a bed here a couple of years back and I still can't wait to get into it even now

Mine is 8' wide x 7' long - stunning...
Edited to add: And there's a sale on.!!

No expert, but "pocket sprung" is a phrase I remember. There is a guide here: http://www.johnlewis.com/Magazine/Feature.aspx?Id=...
I bought the most expensive "SleepEasy" I could afford (through Argos, IIRC).

Stay away from some the big names that do a lot of advertising.
Or you may find that your Dreams turn into nightmares.
They take the order and promise a delivery date. They then find that they can’t meet that date because although when the salesman checked stock availability at the time of your ordering, they don’t allocate the bed to the sale at that time. Curiously, a whole hoard of people decided to order exactly the same bed at the same moment and they are now out of stock.
Your bed is now on back order for months. A suspicious person might think they had little or no stock and were taking deposits prior to ordering stock from the manufacturers.
This has happened so often that consumer watchdog programs have featured this.

Ikea mattresses are different size to the norm, so you have to buy Ikea sheets too.
Are they? 
I have a bed + mattress (sultan hogbo, very comfortable on a budget) from Ikea and have bedsets from both BHS and Ikea and both fit perfectly.....You'll be able to get away with normal sized sheets as they are bigger than the mattress anyhow so you have tuckability. You'll just have less to tuck.
I got mine from the local bed shop. Fairly cheap king size frame and the best mattress I could afford. Bought Saturday, delivered Monday. Finally found out that feet dont have to stick out the end of the bed, no matter which way I lie on it
Shop around, but I'd look at the more independant places who are likely to have better deals on and more realistic delivery. One place I went to (you'l find them on most retail parks) was quite happy with 8 week leadtimes
