Discouraged - only have $500-600 to spend, am I wasting my time?

I'm in a tough situation here as I'm a 21 year old college student with limited finances. I appreciate the value of spending a lot of money on a mattress, but I simply can't. I am a stomach sleeper and my current bed is so saggy that it bends my body backwards in a U shape when I sleep on my stomach. I have rotator cuff pains, neck pains, and back pains as a direct result of this bed. They go away when I return home for school breaks and sleep on a firmer bed. I am 5-7, 160lbs for reference. Here is my problem - I only have $500-600 to spend. Also, I must get my core mattress from Macys due to the fact that I need to use my Macy's card for the bulk of the purchase. I've read around some and am NOT averse to buying say a $400 firm mattress from macys just for the springs, and then getting a Latex topper from somewhere that can be up to $200 (if that is even enough money). What would you do in my situation? I'd like to spend more but that doesn't change the fact that I desperately need a new bed! Thanks in advance.
