I've been reading with interest over the last couple of days the accounts of people performing mattress surgery to improve the quality of their mattress. While there was at least one that I saw about an old mattress, none of them really covered the concept of cost. I recently moved out into an apartment, and inherited a full-size bed to go with me. I've already abandoned both the metal frame and the box spring on account of unforgivable amounts of noise, but the mattress itself is of no better quality. I can literally feel every spring on my body. As you can probably imagine, and I'm certainly not complaining here, no one gives away their highest quality bed - I got the one that was on it's way out the door already. Replacing the mattress is clearly the right thing to do, but I just can't afford it. I reallly don't want to spend more than, say, $100 on this project, so I've already decided, I think, to nix any latex. That leaves me with the cheaper foams, which I don't really fully understand the proper selection or implementation of. Could someone help point me in the right direction in terms of what I should be looking for here? I don't need to sleep like a King or anything, I don't have chronic back issues, I haven't had any surgery, and I'm a young guy. I can handle a mattress that isn't top of the line, I just need it to not be quite so awful. Thanks in advance! |
