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)
