Temporary/Short Term (6-9 months) Mattress Ideas?
|
I'm in an unusual situation. I need to purchase something to use as my main bed for about 6-9 months after that it will be sold/thrown away. Since it will only be for a short time I don't want to spend much money on it unless I can resell it for a decent amount. I'm trying to keep it at max about $200. Do you have any ideas on the best bed for this situation? My requirements: 1. It doesn't kill my back 2. Is firm enough to support my weight (~200 lbs) 3. It's stable and possible to sleep on
Things I don't care about: 1. How high it is off the ground 2. What size it is (within reason)
My ideas so far: 1. Inflatable mattress (annoying to sleep on since they move around a lot and may leak especially if used that much) 2. Futon 3. Some kind of firm foam pad (I don't know where to get this)

I saw a mattress from Sears for around $200. If you're willing to not get a platform or frame and just sleep on the mattress directly its a good place to start. I'd definitely take a real mattress over a air-mattress or futon which are not likely to support you well. The issue with firm mattresses that are cheap is that they sacrifice on comfort, but any real mattress is going to be better than an air mattress. http://www.sears.com/serta-audrey-firm-full-mattress-only/p-08295904000P?prdNo=6&blockNo=6&blockType=G6 |
