Don't have the link, but a lady wanted a 20 seater van for a church thing.
People were offering a couple minivans, and she shot everyone down even when people were trying to help her out.
That one was the best. Drinking had absolutely nothing to do with it. It almost sounds fake but when you put the whole thing together you can tell that's actually the way she is

I feel like the best part was how her 2 year old daughter along with a church group were going to see Marilyn Manson. Itโs amazing on so many levels.
TBF in the Facebook app when you open a page selling something half the screen is taken up with a box with hotlinks to works like next, is this still available etc.
I gotta give her credit for creativity. She found the only possible way to avoid using the term "pay for it" she possibly could in this context. I WANT SOMETHING BUT I DO NOT WANT IT FOR MONEY.
Jesus. Thatโs a really good deal already and he even says โ make an offerโ like , I donโt mind helping with in a reasonable price.
But no , itโs gotta be free right ? I have a feeling that itโs not โ if I wanted one Iโd buy itโ with this guy itโs โ I donโt have the moneyโ
GF was moving out and wanted to get rid of her cooker. Wanted to give it to charity but couldn't get it picked up quick enough so offered it to the new tennant for a severly discounted price. I mean we're talking like ยฃ50 I think or so.
The tennant wanted it for free because "she was a charity". So my GF just phoned up the landlord and had it removed and taken to the scrapheap.
GF had offered it for ยฃ50 as her best offer but it just got into my attempts at haggling. I mean I can understand stating "I don't have the money for that" but it becomes the whole nothing to lose and demanding that because they have no money that she should give it up for nothing.
It's no skin of my GFs nose to simply scrap the cooker, so where the new tennant expected that to go was beyond me.

.....do you mean over? Because I'm imagining a rice cooker, and 50 quid seems like a lot for that.
When I was in high school my mom had a friend who had a friend that lost their home in a fire. Since we had an extra room my mom offered our extra room to the lady for free until she got back on her feet. My mom was thinking it would last maybe 3 months, it lasted 2 years. The lady moved in with her 12 year old daughter and neglected to tell us they both had a bed-wetting issue. Brand spanking new, never used memory foam mattress ruined in a matter of days. The lady and her daughter just peeded themselves in the middle of the night and continued to slosh around in it all night. The next night and every night thereafter it was pee-sloshing time.
That's fucking disgusting. They couldn't go out and buy a waterproof mattress protector??
My seven year old still bed wets (we are addressing it) and any time he has a sleep over I warn the person about it, and offer to bring a protector if they don't have one. He's only gone to my mum and dad's or one other friend who also bed wets so it's not been an issue but bloody hell. I would be mortified if my kid wrecked someone's mattress, let alone myself as an adult.
Hell, bedwetting or not everyone should have a waterproof mattress pad. They make nice ones that don't feel or sound like the cheap plastic ones. Accidents, spills, blood, sweaty nights, messy sex happen.
They had zero concerns about peeing the bed esp since it wasn't theirs. My mom didn't buy a protector because we would have never guessed someone, as an adult, would intentionally be okay with peeing the bed. I now have protectors on every bed in my house because you know, just in case.
I wouldn't ever guess that would happen either to be fair. But the guests knew, they should have gotten one somehow. Even if they had literally no money, just a little courtesy to tell you mum and I'm sure she would have bought one to save her mattress
They were weird. I do not think they even thought it was an issue. I left for boot camp shortly after they moved in. When I left boot camp and visited my mom she still had them living there. She didn't have the heart to kick them out. Eventually, she moved and said they could not come with. My mom told them "you can take the mattress with you", they responded "no thanks, it's covered in piss." Some say they found a new mattress to piss in and on quiet nights you can still hear them pissing while they sleep.
Why do some people think that getting not just drunk, but vomit-everywhere blackout-shitfaced is having a good time?
Hey, I understand getting buzzed is awesome. But if you wake up many hours later in a puddle of your own cold piss, you might want to think about what you're doing with your free time.

it's actually pretty common, and there is a reason it happens. drinking alcohol messes with a certain hormone that controls bladder regulation... makes you expel liquids at a much higher than normal rate. obviously most people aren't effected by this, or are responsible enough with their drinking.. but it's certainly not that rare.
Ok so totally unrelated, but in college I went to a party with boyfriends friends of friends kind of thing. Iโm like all of 19/20 at the time, had been drinking but wasnโt in a sorority or anything like that. I knew how to drink to stay within a range, always have. But we get to this party early and the girls were total booze hounds, selfie fake tan kind of chicks. Not saying thatโs bad, but so you get the idea.
One of them starts going on about how she hopes she doesnโt piss the bed because sheโs drinking, the other is like โomg me to, it happens all the time haha.โ Now me, Iโm like.. what do you mean, lol, did that happen to a friend recently? Thinking theyโre making a joke.
Proceed to tell me it happens all the time, they put liners on their mattresses. Looking at me like, uhh honey do you even drink?? We piss the bed every weekend we are professionals!!!!! Iโm in total shock and leave the room to get a beer.
The night ends because someone fell down and hit their head and is bleeding, Iโm like trying to help and theyโre still drinking. After that Iโm like, we gotta go. Keep my distance from anyone with similar personality now.
I only got so drunk I pissed myself once, and the only thing I remember before passing out is that I should gather up the strength to get up and pee...but I didn't.
I had a friend who when he fell asleep really drunk would get up in the middle of the night and pee on the first round thing he saw, trash cans, dog beds, whatever. I assume he just saw something round and thought "toilet!" The next day he wouldn't remember.
Never met anyone who would pee themselves and I know a lot of heavy drinkers.
Did you know even if you tell people on Craigslist just how many times that a couch has been peed or puked on, someone still wants it?

We used to have a buddy sleepover who I'm pretty convinced was homeless at the time. When ever he came over he'd be there for like 3 or 4 consecutive days. He just kinda reeked and it would make our couch smell something rank. Great and fun guy, just all around smelly.
Ugh I had a smelly roommate once. It only lasted a month then I had to vinegar bomb the whole room (no carpet thank fuck) 4 times just to get the smell out.

Especially memory foam. The mattress remembers the previous owner and will fight you in your sleep.
Eh, I don't necessarily see it as that much different from sleeping on a hotel mattress, and I think your estimation that 99% of used mattresses are filled with all of those things is pretty high. You can definitely buy a gently-used foam mattress from someone who doesn't live in a crack den, give the cover a wash, put a protector and pad on it, and you've got a nice bed for a steal. Just because you should probably vet a used mattress purchase more than a used tennis racket purchase, doesn't mean you have to write the concept off entirely.

Sleeping on a hotel mattress is a necessity, though. It's not like you have much of a choice when you're traveling. I wouldn't buy a stranger's used mattress just like I wouldn't buy a hotel's used mattress.

My brother bought one. A friend of ours worked at a hotel and they were selling them off, so he figured he needed one, and bought it. He strapped it to the top of a work van, poorly, and the second he got on the freeway, it ripped right off and flew into a deep ditch. He pulled over and tried to get it out, but it was water logged now and too heavy (queen size). He left it there.
The ditch was directly across the street from the hotel, which was on the parallel road to the freeway.

You can sleep on a cot at any hotel if it's that important to you. Buying one mattress from a stranger is way safer than than sleeping in one that's been used by countless people. It's not like they're going to sleep in it every night if it's in their camper anyway.

The nature of your body simply releases oils, skin, etc while you sleep. There's no getting around it. Old mattress are absolutely full of people gunk, semen or not.
Yep, when I was 20 years old with barely a penny to my name, I was the real sucker for getting a used mattress instead of sleeping on the floor out of fear of the scary skin oils

So what youโre saying is I couldโve spent $80 I didnโt have on an absolute bottom of the barrel mattress that I assume was the cheapest you could find when you googled it, which is better than spending no money to pick up a nice mattress in my friendโs pickup from a yuppieโs apartment whoโs moving overseas and needed to get rid of his furniture, because the former doesnโt have someone elseโs scary skin flakes on it. Thanks for your input
That person you're responding to must also never sit on couches at friends houses, stay at hotels, refuses to have sex in anyone elses bed but their own (and the partner must wear a hazmat suit with genital access as to not litter their mattress with foreign skin oils, loose hairs, and cells), never takes a booth at a restaurant, etc.
Like, damn, if you're hard up for money and need a mattress I understand you don't want to buy one that was in some dirty house from a sheisty person, but if you pick up a nice mattress from a clean house from seemingly nice normal people, clean it off, and then put a mattress cover over it what is the issue? You just saved a bunch of money and also saved yourself the likelihood of developing back/neck pain by sleeping on some bottom of the barrel dirt cheap mattress that you'd get just because it was brand new.
This guy must not know what mattress protectors and sheets are. For the uninformed they are layers of fabrics and other materials that get put on so you don't have to sleep directly on the mattress. I mean even the biggest germaphobe could put that shit in a sealed plastic mattress bag and there's no way you would come into contact with super nasty oils and cells.

Maybe some shit-ass memory foam twin bed is $80, but beds are something you should not be frugal about. Spend the money. You spend 1/3 of your life on it.
Do they really need to have a contagious disease for you to not want to sleep on their dead skin cells, dried saliva, various other body fluid, and possible bed bugs?
Yeah, it wonโt kill you, but you have some pretty low standards.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:22:40 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Maybe not you, but itโs interesting that you canโt see why others would, unless they had a contagious disease. Simply put, many things are โgrossโ even if they donโt kill you.
Second hand clothing, couches, other furniture etc all have those things too. No need to be a neatfreak about beds specifically. If you canโt afford firsthand (which gets expensive for all the shit I just listed) itโs nothing related to โstandardsโ buying a cheap mattress or couch will most certainly mean you have low standards actually
I just know itโs easier to wash and sanitize clothes and wipe down/reupholster furniture than it is a mattress. For some reason, mattresses just seem more intimate.
Itโs like buying used socks and underwear. Yes, you can clean them, but why if you can buy something new for pretty cheap? I donโt think buying cheap panties instead of used panties means you have low standards...
That being said, if itโs your only option, go for it. But also understand why other people might be skeeved a bit by it.
Iโve lived for weeks at a time on hotel mattresses while traveling for work. Why is that considered okay, classy even, but the moment I make a similar mattress โmineโ then itโs inherently disgusting?
I think itโs disgusting to sleep on a hotel mattress as much as you do but you have to for work. I wouldnโt recommend it for anyone who doesnโt have to put themselves at risk for bed bugs. They are not worth it.
I stay at hotels occasionally for a night at a time. I donโt stop thinking about bed bugs the entire time.
Once you get them youโll understand. The effect is not the itchiness. Itโs the psychological toll it takes on you every time you stay somewhere unfamiliar, or get used clothes, and so on.
Jesus, what kind of hotels are you staying at that youโre that petrified of getting bed bugs? I mean, I got chiggers from a 9โฌ a night hostel mattress once when I was younger, but the memory of them hardly haunts me in bed at a Marriott or something
I agree! I don't buy anything used that will absorb bodily fluids! Maybe clothes, but those are easily washed. Old wooden furniture is fine because I can clean the hell out of it before I bring it into my home.
Yeah, but it you go down that rabbit hole, you'll never do anything again.

I grew up in a house with two other girls my age and a single father who was kind of a slob (love him to death though) and also cheap.

My first mattress was from the 1960s or so. I think it was my momโs as a teenager or something, I dunno. It was not comfortable. I finally got my own around 12-14 years old, give or take. That one roamed around various guest rooms until we had it in ours again. Kid used it a couple years until she got her nice new one this Xmas. Family itโs not as weird to me as random strangers. Iโd never buy a used mattress, but Iโd inherit one, and have.
We also always use sheets/pads.

I think, for decades, mattress prices have been being kept high by a combination of shipping costs and the overhead and markup of mattress stores. A memory foam mattress from Amazon is vacuum packed to the point that it takes up less than a fifth of the space of a traditional mattress in shipping and, Amazon being Amazon, they're pretty good at making money off volume instead of insane markups.
So these days spending a few hundred on an Amazon mattress will get you a mattress that's way better than any of the more expensive "discount" mattresses our cheapskate asses have been sleeping on all our lives.
I did too bro. Twice i bought a $800 Queen mattress (moved states) and it was nothing compared to this. From sleepys and Sears

We spent 1200 on a king a few years ago. It got sag spots within two years. Weโve been pulling teeth trying to get the warranty called in and they kept dragging it out. All we have asked is for the guy to call a day or two in advance so my husband (who works third) will be awake. They canโt even do that.
I recently bought this one, it arrived in 2 days which was great because I didn't need it immediately, and it's by far the best memory foam mattress I've had. My husband likes firm, and I don't, so this was a nice compromise. And since it was sub $300, if it sucked, I wasn't out a ton of money. I'm considering buying my parents one too. Highly recommend!
That's the same one I got, except I got a full. I've only had it for four or five months, but I haven't had any problems with it. Very comfy.
Edit: oh but I will say this, since I just remembered to mention it. The top layer of fabric covering the mattress is really thin. It seems like there is more than one layer, but yeah, that top layer is definitely pretty thin and could easily tear. I'd watch out for that.
I was gonna say I got a full sized memory foam mattress (12 inches tall) on Amazon too, it was about $200-$250. It was a different brand than yours, Zinus, if I remember right. It is the most comfortable bed I've ever owned!
Tldr: if you need a new mattress Amazon has good ones for much cheaper than you'd find in a store.
I bought a Zinus made queen off of Sam's club for like $450.. it was a hybrid of coils and memory foam. It was rock hard, we hated it. Sent it back in under a week. I'll never buy a mattress without laying on it, it's just way to subjective.
Totally fair! I've never heard of a hybrid like that. Honestly I was really nervous about buying a mattress without feeling it first so it's definitely a crap shoot.
Oh, right! Actually Amazon sent me the wrong bed initially and they sent a twin sized Zinus spring mattress and seriously, that thing was basically a box spring. Incredibly uncomfortable. Like you said, rock hard. It was Amazon customer support who fixed that and sent me the right bed so idk if Zinus customer support is worth a damn or not.

I also just bought a fantastic twin size mattress from Amazon for around $200. The construction quality is very high.
Retail mattress stores are one of the greatest scams in existence. They sell slabs of fabric, foam, springs and padding for thousands of dollars and people actually buy them.
Nothing I've had it for 7 months now it's like new. I read almost all the reviews as well but once i opened it up, within a couple hours it was already about 11.5 inches height
Right. Just trying to help people save money. I furnished my whole apt under $1500 with brand new bedroom living room and everything in my apt

Please teach me your ways! I'm moving into an apartment on my own for the first time with very little furniture (I have a coffee table and a vanity.. and thats it) and I'd love to hear your recommendations on furnishings :)
I bought everything on offerup and craigslist except my living room piece and the mattress. The bed frame was also on offerup but it was new in box, one of those wholesalers on offerup. I bought this exact table with the black legs for $80 on craigslist. It's also basically new, glass and a wooden bottom can't go bad, from a young couple in a nice neighborhood. I got this really fancy dining room table with 4 leather chairs that are $100 each alone, the table is black glass with a center leg that's stainless steel, $85 on offerup, it was listed for $160 and i offered 70 and she said 85 i couldn't believe it. Also got a nice chaise for the balcony for $70 on offerup
Just takes some time, the coffee table took the longest because i couldn't find anything i liked at first (about a month), but sometimes you come across things right away.
He said make an offer. If she said I'm sorry the most I could pay is $10 (or even $0) it would be fine. It's the way she says it's that is the annoying part. The guy gave her a great offer and she essentially insults him for it.

King single just seems like a terrible and confusing name for it. It's not King sized so it shouldn't start with that name. Maybe switching them around to single king makes more sense to me.

This is all bad. Isn't there a Double Twin mattress size? So what makes a California King different from it? I wonder if it's mainly the "King" sizes that have this many varieties.
Yeah, in my experience full and queen mattresses are always consistent. It's just kings and twins where it gets weird.
I've never heard of a 'double twin,' but full mattresses are sometimes called doubles here, which is confusing because they are not twice the size of a twin.
The real outrage are box springs though, my store used to get them for < $25 and sell them for $100-200. For the most part they're bad for your back anyways, I just put my mattresses on the ground. If you're going to use a box spring/slats then put a solid sheet of wood over it to distribute the weight evenly.

I sleep on a UK King. It's exactly the same size as my old US Queen, so I can use the same sheets.

Unless you're buying a real heavy duty cover, they are still permeable since they need to breathe. It might not have visible stains, but it is still full of dead skin and tiny things eating that dead skin. Do you, but a mattress is one thing I refuse to get used

It makes me even more mad that it was probably much cheaper than 140. They said they originally wanted 140 but just make me an offer. They could of even said something like, โI donโt have a lot of money I could only offer you $10โ and I wouldnโt be so pissed. The fact they said just give me an offer and the OP told them to essentially fuck off is rustling my jimmies.
It's certainly not hostile or demanding, but the replies in this thread would make you believe that we're dealing with some sinister, entitled lady -- because she went looking for a mattress for free and had the audacity to tell a dude straight up she wasn't looking to pay. Yeah, call her silly for thinking she can get it for free, but she also literally just had another person offer her a different mattress for free one comment earlier..
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 17:47:17 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I think her audacity lies not in telling someone she wasn't looking to pay, but because she is looking for a very specific and valuable item (king single memory foam mattress from a smoke free home) for free.
Where you audacity, I just see naivete I suppose. I don't know this lady or her circumstances, she never demanded or acted like this was owed to her, and her replies were straight forward and honest. For all we know, a simple "hey, you're unlikely to find this without paying" would be enough to affect her -- instead, this lady is seen as another villain amongst the rest. I'm just not reading the same as so many others on this thread and I'm trying to reconcile that.
Since she rejected a free mattress because it didn't fit perfectly, she is being the definition of a choosy beggar.
I don't think that's the case; people certainly shouldn't be under the obligation to accept something just because it is free. This is supposed to be about "way too picky", but rejecting a mattress on the grounds of it being the wrong size is a completely normal and reasonable thing to do.
I wish I had the ability to comment on every Facebook post to call them out on these things because they're being idiots. People posting these things on Reddit should speak up and then post it. Even more karma.

Having suffered through bed bugs once (from neighbours who bought used mattresses), I can't understand buying a used one. Saving a few bucks isn't worth throwing out all your stuff. We moved, bought new furniture and mattresses, heat treated all our clothes, then heat treated our new place as soon as we moved in. Cost us thousands because they tried to save a few bucks.

I had a guy wanting to buy one rim off a car I was selling. Not the rim and tire, just the rim...
But the knock off memory foam mattresses from Amazon. Find a thick one (8+ inches) with good reviews and you are good to go. I got a queen for a few hundred bucks. Itโs the best bed Iโve ever had. I never wake up with back aches anymore. Memory foam is awesome.
Iโve had my Amazon mattress for about 3 years now with no sign of degradation. I seriously try to tell anyone who is talking about buying mattresses because if you go to a store to buy one you are getting ripped off. My parents bought their last mattress for $2k. Insane.

I hear you. I never tire of wholly undateable people posting their ludicrously high standards and being mocked for it, but posts in the similar vein of this one and the NEXT! lady, really gets my blood pressure up.
I recently got one for free because someone left it on a curb. Almost peed my pants I was so excited. It's the most comfy bed I've ever owned - highlighted by the fact that until I got it I slept on a sleeping pad on the floor...
Seriously Iโm sitting here like yo shoot me there number. My mattress was one I bought for a couple hundred. Its memory foam but leme tell you a memory foam mattress for $200 youโre getting exactly what you paid for.
The thing is if she'd been nice she might've actually gotten it for free. Since the last responder wants it gone ASAP, she could just say "can I have it for free if I come get it right this second?"

She actually wants a king single which is just a longer single but you can get a brand new king size memory foam mattress under 200 on Amazon. So it's really not worth getting a $140 King single when you can get a brand new one on Amazon for roughly the same and it isn't covered in who knows what.
The days of thousand-dollar mattresses are over. They're only sold to older people who don't check the internet now.

Also thatโs a great deal, $140 for a $1500 mattress, if I was looking for one with those specifics and had someone offer one for that price Iโd buy it right away
But you guys want to hear something awesome? A few years ago, I knew someone who died in bed. My suggestion was that they send it off to be recycled, but they ended up offering it for free. Even knowing that someone had just died in that bed like 48 hours before, that bed was snagged up within an hour. What a world!

If a hygienic person passed away in their sleep it's not really much different than a hotel room bed.
Unless you're talking about the mattress now having spooky bones? doot doot Then you're fucked
What are the odds the hotels use a cover over the mattress that gets cleaned from the start? When you buy a used mattress, yea you can buy a cover and do the same thing but it won't be like it had a cover over it since it was bought or anything and you'll just forever have to sleep on a cover getting permeated by what ever the fuck is festering below

I always wonder what a person is thinking when on Facebook market places they list an item for $100 then proceed to say "$100 OBO, the lowest I'll go is $70"
Because they don't want to ask for $70 and you to Jew them down to $50. I don't use Facebook, but that is how Craigslist is. If someone needs a hundred for an item they ask $120. If someone pays full great. If someone offers $100 you get what you needed and they feel like they got a good deal. Win win.

Same, from Michigan. No one ever says "Jew" in any context minus literally discussing those who are Jewish.
In all likelihood the person that said it in the comment above made that whole comment to say Jew like that (the whole comment in general doesn't really offer anything besides a backhanded and sarcastic response that anyone could have figured) in order to come off "edgy" and any direct argument will cause them to snowflake so you kinda just have to hot potato it and move on ๐คท

AKA, he would have taken $100 for the mattress. Thatโs better then thrift store prices from my experience. If itโs dirty or has bed bugs then that would be a huge deal breaker. Can you test for that?
"Question:ย Can bedbugs also live in visco-memory foam beds? I have read some claims online that say that the bedbugs cannot get into the foam beds.ย
Answer:ย Remember that bed bugs getย onย mattresses and harbor and under the sheets in the seams and tufts. While they may not be able to getย intoย the actual foam, it hardly matters. They can harbor on the foam, in the seams of the mattress cover or in the bed frame.ย Remember the mattress itself is not the bed bug attractant, the host that uses it is. ย So bed bugs do not have to live inside the mattress in order to feed on you at night. ย They might crawl down from the picture frame hanging above your bed or from some other location."
So you can visually inspect, but I don't think theres a store bought test. You could also buy the mattress, put a plastic cover on it and expose it to extreme cold (like a detached garage in a far northern winter) for a few weeks and hopefully it would kill any bed bugs present
A mattress is one of the few things I absolutely would never buy second hand.

Iโve never had a new mattress in my life! (Well, maybe in my crib...I was the firstborn.) Every one has been a hand me down, which is at least better than secondhand from a stranger. And at least I put egg crates on top. I once had a $$$ memory foam topper that I actually โbrokeโ and wore a rut in because Iโm bedbound so much. But for Valentineโs Iโm finally getting a NEW MATTRESS! I think Iโm going with the Purple Matress. First I wanted a fancy SleepNumber like my in-laws, but the Purple is thousands less and looks better for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Iโm so stoked to finally have my own mattress, not a 20-year-old dinosaur. No wonder I can barely move in the mornings.

Thank you!
Oh, Iโve got my eye on some apparently incredible sheets, all new everything, including comforter and duvet. Iโm blanking on the brand name, but I see it advertised on a Facebook and recommended by friends. Iโm very into comfortable sheets, theyโre like the Holy Grail. Currently I swear by Ralph Lauren 100% cotton sheets, which will still serve as good spares. (Gotta have at least 3 sets, one on the bed, one in the wash, one in the linen closet.) Iโm going to get Purple Pillows along with every type of basic pillow I could ever need - extra firm, firm, medium, soft. Iโm giddy with excitement over how fresh and comfortable Iโll finally feel!
Years ago I had an ikea bed with slats and an ikea matress that I bought from a friend. It was for my off-campus carriage house apartment. It lasted years, then two friends were high and jumping on it, and the slats broke. Then I spent years with just the thing mattress on the floor. My now-husband bought me my first box spring and frame, to get me off the freakinโ floor. I think our current matress was my uncleโs. Canโt wait to have a grownup bed! And extremely nice sheets! Itโs the kind of investment that is for bodily comfort and mental well-being.
Idk if this is true but Iโve heard that purple pillows have some kind of dust on the pillows that is very bad for you, considering youโre breathing it in 6-10 hours a day.

Iโll look into it, but right now itโs rumor. Eggcrates and foam mattresses have odors that have made me sick to my stomach, but they eventually air out. Thanks for the heads up, though!
Short of your body not reacting to the bites you'd have to be dumb as all hell to not notice bed bug bites. Those little bastards multiply quickly and will leave your body looking like a war zone.
Anyone who willingly participates in the spread of the disease known as bed bugs deserves to be dipped into a pool of cockroaches for all eternity.

Wait, why?! It is! Bad? Shit! The SleepNumber is so much more expensive! Thereโs another memory-foam mattress my friendโs recently got that they recommend. I canโt remember the name.
If itโs from your family then at least you know theyโre not going to give you something gross, just maybe worn out a little. The real danger with used mattresses is the biohazards.
Buy the Purple! It was the best purchase we made last year. It's a bit firmer than I thought it would be but and it took nearly a full month for me to adjust to it but it's well worth it! My husband doesn't wake up with shoulder and back pain and I actually sleep through the night now. I wouldn't get the base though. We recently got a new bedroom set and I swear the bed feels better on a box spring instead of the metal frame.

I was just going to get a boxspring. That way if I return the Purple (100-night Guarantee) I have the boxspring thatโs ready for whatever I get instead.
Edit: and thanks for the rec! My husband has a bad back and both shoulders have been dislocated multiple times (he was an athlete) and as I said, I have RA, so a good mattress is really, really important. What did you have before? I feel like the Purple looks like a good option for our physical needs. We still have to look at Texas Mattress Makers, they come highly recommended.
Sleep Numbers beds are adjustable by being an air mattress (the thing you blow up to sleep on the floor at grandma's house) disguised as a real mattress. Air mattresses provide no support unless inflated totally firm, your heavier parts sink and you wake up with back and hip pain.
Definitely don't pay more for that garbage than for a real mattress.

Yeah, they are hella expensive air mattresses BUT Iโm weird - I friggin LOVE air mattresses. I think theyโre super comfy. During Harvey, I stayed at my parentsโ house a few extra days primarily to enjoy the air mattress I was on (their house was packed with refugees)(my own house lost power but wasnโt flooded, unlike other family members who are still not back in their homes; one sold hers to the government and walked away.) I also like the adjustability of the SleepNumber, because my needs change as my arthritis goes between everyday pain to crippling pain and back ๐ฐ My inlaws have the kind that also adjusts the rise at the head and feet, which is also good for RA.
That being said, the price is crazy high for what Iโd want. I think Iโll try the Purple with its guarantee then go from there. Not much to lose, really.
I choose to sleep on the floor instead of on an air mattress when I visit my grandma, so that I don't spend the week with back pain (which I don't have any hint of in my daily life when not sleeping on air mattresses).
Different strokes, I guess.

Yeah... sleeping on the floor would hurt me sooooo much. Keep in mind I donโt have a โnormalโ skeleton - every one of my joints has been ravaged by Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 3. Iโm a very unique case with unique needs. But the price point is still really high. If I wasnโt intent on sleeping next to my husband, I might just sleep on a much more reasonably priced regular old air mattress!
When we moved into our house, we decided to upgrade from my full-size to a king. We got a memory foam mattress. LIFE CHANGER. The first morning we woke up in it, I was awake by like eight and just laid there until almost noon.
Bonus: when we bought our Silver Streak, it came with a memory foam mattress.
Could you post which one you got? I'd like to get a new bed, and just looked on Amazon. There's a Zinus king memory foam for $229 right now. Just wanted to k own if that's the one?
Awesome! I'm trying to get my wife on board, but she's scared away from it because a recurring them in the reviews is 'it starts getting shitty after about a year'
I personally don't think $200/year is all that bad. No bed stays comfortable forever.
Lemme check on Amazon and see if I can find what we bought. It's just a frame with boards across, no headboard or footboard, but it was really reasonable.
Its from a smoke free home, but I shit the bed after a night of drinking the other week.

Idk. A used mattress is one thing that isn't that interesting in resale. Depending on how long in use it's been. You don't know what's been soaking in those giant sponges that are almost impossible to clean. Sweat, saliva, intercourse fluids, urine, etc. What's been growing in there mold or stuff. One story I recall was a mattress had some water damage , but it was bought used and turned out inside the mattress mold has grown making the couple sick often enough they wonder what was getting them sick enough to go to the hospital until they cut open the used mattress. Depending on where they stored the old mattress (garage or attic) what may have gotten into it. What really creeps me out is seeing people who pick up mattress from the trash to take home or any fabric furniture

Yeah, I started with it. Saw the request and thought, "Ok, whatever, asking around if anyone has a mattress. That's fair. Not too picky, if you have the frame, etc, you're going to need a certain size. Smoke-free is a reasonable request".
Then someone offers the wrong size and they're perfectly polite. Stating that it doesn't fit the size requirements. That's fine.

People routinely give away things like used mattresses, because they don't want the hassle of selling them. If you watch local forums like Nextdoor or Facebook groups, you can find things like this-eventually. Rational people feel fortunate when they find the thing they need for free. Entitled people expect it on demand, because they're entitled.
Speaking of the hassle of selling things, craigslist was absolute magic when it first set up pages beyond of San Francisco, in the early '00s. It wasn't widely known, and the least educated parts of the population weren't online much. You could buy, sell, or trade almost anything, and it always worked like magic. I once posted an ad offering a large dog crate in exchange for a used chest freezer, I got the freezer the same day and both parties felt like they got something great for nothing. Now, of course, CL is full of absolutely horrible people.

Mattresses are only extremely expensive in stores mostly targeting older folk who don't look at Amazon where you can buy fine memory foam mattresses for under $200.
$140 for a used mattress vs around 180 for a brand new memory foam mattress on Amazon is really not worth it considering what is typically on used mattresses.
I think the logic is that if they are asking on the internet, the pool is large enough that there is someone who will see the request who happens to want to get rid of their king size memory foam mattress and just wants to give it away. The choosing beggar can imagine that such a person probably exists, and they are intending to find that person.
It's a nice vision, but sadly backwards.

Mattresses last over a decade though, are there really that many people throwing them out? Especially memory foam ones?
One thing I know is that there is a massive demand for free mattresses. I gave one away on Craigslist and I got a good 20 or 30 people asking within a couple hours. I tried giving away a couch and nobody ever replied to that.
I live in a skyrise and see a mattress a week in the trash room. Are you sure they last a decade? I had mine for a few years and am ready to throw it out. Cheaper memory foam one on Amazon. Seems to be sinking.
I'm sure if you pay 1,000 you will want to sell it but you can get them for 150 now so why bother.

So my dad's whole shtick is buying junk, like motorcycles, fixing them up and selling for a profit. I think he would have a stroke if he got a $1500 mattress for $140. I know he'd have immediately sold it, take his profits and do it again until he had the money for exactly the item he wants.
Not really. Mattresses have ridiculous markup, which is why mattress stores are always empty yet profitable (they need about 1 sale per day to break even). It's a lot like getting a diamond ring at a "discount", you might think you got it for a steal until you actually try to sell it for more.

Then a story comes out that they just discovered huge accounting irregularities. Too lazy to google it but I prefer to believe it's true just for amusement.
My first thought to your comment was "of course that's what they want you to think so you don't think it's suspicious that there are never customers in there...."
You're thinking of somebody-on-Reddit's analysis of Mattress stores. The truth is, yes, The Mattress Firm I believe is being investigated for something to do with taxes; but the reality is exactly what the person above you said - Mattress Stores have ridiculous markups, to where you can open a ton of them an still be profitable.
It really is remarkable how effective the mattress industry has been at preventing consumers to make good research-based choices. It's one of the very few remaining product categories that reminds me of the 90's or before, when very little truly objective information was widely available to most people for most products.
That appears to be starting to change, which may explain some of the accounting funny-business to keep a dying business model afloat.
However, I'm still going to pretend every mattress store is a money laundering front solely for my own amusement.
Edit: It still boggles my mind how most people still consult their friends or the SALESPERSON when researching an expensive item. Forget that we have these incredible search engines that are really good at giving us far better insight by learning from the collective experience of 1000's of strangers.... instead why not query the anecdotal experience of a few people you just happen to know and/or the guy who is on commission. As a researcher, the fact that we still have to play the mattress game the 'classic' way really irks me.
Well, based on these comments it's either because their product has an obscenely high profit margin or it's a money laundering front.
Help us find out. Go into a store and start checking under the mattresses. If the the salesperson gives you a knowing nod instead of confusion, you'll know the answer.
Serious question: how is the original price 1500 and how is this deal of a lifetime? Memory foam mattress appear to be like $200 online, why would this one be 1500?
It ends in 34 zeroes.
I'm not sure if there are any other zeroes in the previous 208 digits.
Probably does. But I'd have to compute the factorial to see.
You don't actually have to compute the number just to see how many trailing zeroes it has, interestingly enough!
Right you just have to figure out how many multiples of 10 are in the formula I think. Like 140! Has 140, 130, 120, 110, 100, 90, and so on. Then do God knows what to the resulting number to get the total number of trailing zeroes.
Actually, you can just do multiples of 5, like 140, 135, 130, 125, and so on. Because for each multiple of 5 there is guaranteed to be at least one multiple of 2 to pair with it. And 2x5=10.
So for 140, there are 28 of those.
Where do the other 6 zeroes come from to get 34 trailing zeroes?
Well remember that multiples of 25 need to be counted twice (because 25=5x5). So there are 5 of those: 25, 50, 75, etc.
And 125 needs to be counted three times.
BOOM, we're now up to 34. Hooray!
I guess you're right, she wasn't exactly a dick, Reddit likes to be outraged. Her response wasn't particularly grateful but she wasn't exceptionally rude.
This whole post is full of people wanting to find something to get upset over even if it is very minor. People do give things away for free when they just want to get rid of it, so itโs not unreasonable to ask around.
I gave one of my friends old furniture for free. Before I said it was free he asked how much for it, and I said to just take it. He did me a favor just by helping me move it out of my place to take it, and that was good enough for me even though I also could have made money by selling it.
In fact in this very post where people are losing their minds over them not wanting to buy the mattress, you can see someone else offering one for free as well. That just goes to show how reasonable the question was.
Oh for fuck's sake; the dude is offering it for literally less than a tenth of the price that you'll find at literally any mattress store, and he said so explicitly.
If paying a tenth of MSRP will kill you, then good luck subsistence farming, because even fucking Goodwill charges that much.
Was in the Goodwill by where I live in MN, they had Target clearance priced higher at Goodwill then the target sale price. ๐ We tend to find better deals at salvation army or local thrift stores.
Strange. Things have been rough the past few years and I've had to rely on thrifting (especially Goodwill) and the deals there are amazing. I've been to the SoCal and Austin stores and have gotten furniture, clothing, suits, books, cookware, etc at pretty remarkable prices for both the used and some of the new stuff.
I really support what they do. They're good people
Thank the store manager. It really varies by location. The videogame collecting sub will vouch for this.

I used to work up in the St. Cloud while going to school a few years ago. They were decent prices but then in a matter of three months their prices just went sky high. Very disappointing. But I did learn a lot for when I go shopping there occasionally now.

Mattress stores barely sell mattresses now because they are only sold to older folks who don't just go to Amazon and get a brand new memory foam mattress for less than $200.
Mattress stores mark up their beds by a thousand percent because of an extremely successful marketing campaign in like the 50s and 60s when they convinced people to spend absurd amounts of money on a bed because of how much time they spend on it.
Save yourself thousands of dollars and never go to a mattress store again.

It's a used mattress. What do you think people should charge for used mattresses?
(Trick question, buying a used mattress at all is gross)
I dunno, but her thumbing her nose at shelling out 140 bucks for the extremely rare/specific product she's asking for seem odd to me. If she were asking for something ordinary/general I can understand, but turning down the exact thing you've asked for because you think that you shouldn't pay for things strikes me as silly.

To be fair that mattress wasn't worth anywhere near that much new. I bought a brand new full size memory foam mattress for $140 on Amazon last year.
Paying $140 for a used memory foam mattress is inconsolable.
Granted she's still being an asshole about it.
Maybe they really donโt care about getting one for their camper, but it would be a nice to have if they can get one for free. I donโt see whatโs wrong with that. Clearly you can see in this post that the other person was happy to give theirs away.
If the person was giving them shit for trying to sell it and telling them to give it away for free, then I would understand. But come on, people actually do give furniture away as we can see within this very same post. I have also done it and know others who have. Thereโs no harm in politely asking. I donโt understand why everyone in this thread is trying so hard to find reasons to be outraged or upset.
That took a turn. I read the preview and thought this wasnโt bad at all and didnโt really fit in this sub. Once you click through though, woo boy does it ever.
In the US we call it Twin Extra Long. Its the size used in college dorms and hospitals and what not. Same width as a twin (or single), but the same length as a queen/king mattress.

She did not feel entitled to it. She didnโt ask that they give it for free.
1: Hey just wondering if anyone has this thing I want for free.
2: How about $100
1: Nah, Iโm just seeing if I can get one for free in case anyone was getting rid of theirs.
Reddit reaction:
WTF so ungrateful and entitled!! Itโs such a good deal and you are going to pass on it? You have to pay for it now!! I donโt care if you didnโt want to pay, you are very ungrateful if you refuse buying something from them after they offered a good price!

I don't know for sure, but my guess is it might be proportions. King would scale the size up, twin would make it twice as wide. Something to that effect, but it's just my guess.

She can get two single perfectly sized memory foam mattresses for $140 or less total (one of them is free)... But no honey, if she wanted to pay for them she'd buy them, NEXT

Yes but no one likes to think about that. Washing bedsheets and using upholstery cleaner 100% sterilizes and refreshes mattresses to their original purity, both in homes and hotels. Shh. SHHH.
I do. I buy used mattresses on the low and sell them on the black market for nearly triple the price, where the used mattress niche is BOOMING. Just kidding. Usually I get them free. If not then for a very low price. I then cut it open and recycle the springs inside for a little extra money on the side. It's a win-win. People get rid of their old mattresses, they don't have to dispose of it themselves, and I get some extra cash for doing it for them.
I've bought a used mattress. After college I didn't have much money but wanted a kind matters. I got one a a thrift store. Bought a mattress pad for $40 as a barrier and had it for probably 5 more years.
140 for a memory foam mattress? Does anyone have this guys info? Because I would totally buy that from him and I already have a comfy enough bed. Youโre not gonna get a deal like that anywhere.

$1500? Jesus fuck. I got a 12 inch memory foam Queen mattress from Amazon for $280, best money I've ever spent. Although Amazon literally gets about $1k off me every week so they owed me a good deal. Especially since Prime deals are down the shitter now
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:29:53 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
There are a lot of people ITT saying that they would never buy a used mattress (or get one for free)...but I'm going to offer up some anecdotal experience that refutes that fear. I once had a bf who wanted me to have a queen sized bed rather than a full sized bed. It was stupid - they aren't that different, and he rarely stayed over. But anyway, he was paying for it. So I sold my perfectly good, non-bed bug-infested mattress to a stranger from Craigslist. It had always had a mattress protector on it. It was, really, perfectly fine. She asked why I was selling it, I told her, we laughed about it, and everyone was happy.
I get the first one. If it won't fit it won't fit. But REALLY. Somebody offers you exactly what you want and you say no because you don't want to pay even a fraction of what it's worth
There are certain things I don't buy second hand... Let alone free. Idk if I could bring myself to sleep on a free mattress. In the last city I lived in there was a lady who was known to drive around, pick up mattresses off the side of the road, bleach them, and resell them on Facebook.
Why do so many people think the world owes them a favor? People need to realize they aren't the main character, they don't get favors just for existing..
I wouldn't buy an a hotel mattress that was being replaced. Like underwear, it's generally kept until end-of-life. Unlike underwear, mattresses can't be washed.
The only time I would consider purchasing a used one would be from someone I knew who had a month or two old mattress, and was moving out of state for a new job.
I don't cheap out on things that separate my body from the ground. Bed, shoes, tires, etc.
You make a great point, which makes me wonder if I'm just a germ freak. Yes, I've slept in a hotel, but I take the comforter off (always!) and I inspect the sheets.
I'm finding this trend seriously interested! The value of "stuff" has been dropping since the invention of stuff. Along with new staff, we keep inventing cheaper ways of making yet. Unwanted stuff, that would have been immensely valuable hundreds of years ago, has gone down in price to the point where it's more expensive to recycle than produce. Much used stuff now has a negative value, and I'm not sure this trend won't continue as we run out of landfill space and we get more conscious about pollution. Interesting times.
must be king single (a kinda rare size in and of itself), must be memory foam, must be smoke free, must be FREE. that's some pretty specific choosiness from someone begging for a v expensive mattress for free. ten bucks says she wants it delivered too lol.

Yeah the fact she wants it for free is ridiculous but in her case any other mattress is useless (I personally wouldn't want a smoker's mattress even close to my home, that's disgusting, and the size is just what she needs otherwise it doesn't fit) and you might encounter 'the one' who has her mattress and wants to give it away for free

Don't have the link, but a lady wanted a 20 seater van for a church thing. People were offering a couple minivans, and she shot everyone down even when people were trying to help her out.
She was crazy rude, and that was her motto. NEXT!

GF was moving out and wanted to get rid of her cooker. Wanted to give it to charity but couldn't get it picked up quick enough so offered it to the new tennant for a severly discounted price. I mean we're talking like ยฃ50 I think or so.
The tennant wanted it for free because "she was a charity". So my GF just phoned up the landlord and had it removed and taken to the scrapheap.
GF had offered it for ยฃ50 as her best offer but it just got into my attempts at haggling. I mean I can understand stating "I don't have the money for that" but it becomes the whole nothing to lose and demanding that because they have no money that she should give it up for nothing.
It's no skin of my GFs nose to simply scrap the cooker, so where the new tennant expected that to go was beyond me.

When I was in high school my mom had a friend who had a friend that lost their home in a fire. Since we had an extra room my mom offered our extra room to the lady for free until she got back on her feet. My mom was thinking it would last maybe 3 months, it lasted 2 years. The lady moved in with her 12 year old daughter and neglected to tell us they both had a bed-wetting issue. Brand spanking new, never used memory foam mattress ruined in a matter of days. The lady and her daughter just peeded themselves in the middle of the night and continued to slosh around in it all night. The next night and every night thereafter it was pee-sloshing time.

That's fucking disgusting. They couldn't go out and buy a waterproof mattress protector??
My seven year old still bed wets (we are addressing it) and any time he has a sleep over I warn the person about it, and offer to bring a protector if they don't have one. He's only gone to my mum and dad's or one other friend who also bed wets so it's not been an issue but bloody hell. I would be mortified if my kid wrecked someone's mattress, let alone myself as an adult.

They had zero concerns about peeing the bed esp since it wasn't theirs. My mom didn't buy a protector because we would have never guessed someone, as an adult, would intentionally be okay with peeing the bed. I now have protectors on every bed in my house because you know, just in case.

I wouldn't ever guess that would happen either to be fair. But the guests knew, they should have gotten one somehow. Even if they had literally no money, just a little courtesy to tell you mum and I'm sure she would have bought one to save her mattress

They were weird. I do not think they even thought it was an issue. I left for boot camp shortly after they moved in. When I left boot camp and visited my mom she still had them living there. She didn't have the heart to kick them out. Eventually, she moved and said they could not come with. My mom told them "you can take the mattress with you", they responded "no thanks, it's covered in piss." Some say they found a new mattress to piss in and on quiet nights you can still hear them pissing while they sleep.

Hey, I understand getting buzzed is awesome. But if you wake up many hours later in a puddle of your own cold piss, you might want to think about what you're doing with your free time.

it's actually pretty common, and there is a reason it happens. drinking alcohol messes with a certain hormone that controls bladder regulation... makes you expel liquids at a much higher than normal rate. obviously most people aren't effected by this, or are responsible enough with their drinking.. but it's certainly not that rare.

Ok so totally unrelated, but in college I went to a party with boyfriends friends of friends kind of thing. Iโm like all of 19/20 at the time, had been drinking but wasnโt in a sorority or anything like that. I knew how to drink to stay within a range, always have. But we get to this party early and the girls were total booze hounds, selfie fake tan kind of chicks. Not saying thatโs bad, but so you get the idea.
One of them starts going on about how she hopes she doesnโt piss the bed because sheโs drinking, the other is like โomg me to, it happens all the time haha.โ Now me, Iโm like.. what do you mean, lol, did that happen to a friend recently? Thinking theyโre making a joke.
Proceed to tell me it happens all the time, they put liners on their mattresses. Looking at me like, uhh honey do you even drink?? We piss the bed every weekend we are professionals!!!!! Iโm in total shock and leave the room to get a beer.
The night ends because someone fell down and hit their head and is bleeding, Iโm like trying to help and theyโre still drinking. After that Iโm like, we gotta go. Keep my distance from anyone with similar personality now.

I had a friend who when he fell asleep really drunk would get up in the middle of the night and pee on the first round thing he saw, trash cans, dog beds, whatever. I assume he just saw something round and thought "toilet!" The next day he wouldn't remember.
Never met anyone who would pee themselves and I know a lot of heavy drinkers.

Eh, I don't necessarily see it as that much different from sleeping on a hotel mattress, and I think your estimation that 99% of used mattresses are filled with all of those things is pretty high. You can definitely buy a gently-used foam mattress from someone who doesn't live in a crack den, give the cover a wash, put a protector and pad on it, and you've got a nice bed for a steal. Just because you should probably vet a used mattress purchase more than a used tennis racket purchase, doesn't mean you have to write the concept off entirely.

Sleeping on a hotel mattress is a necessity, though. It's not like you have much of a choice when you're traveling. I wouldn't buy a stranger's used mattress just like I wouldn't buy a hotel's used mattress.

My brother bought one. A friend of ours worked at a hotel and they were selling them off, so he figured he needed one, and bought it. He strapped it to the top of a work van, poorly, and the second he got on the freeway, it ripped right off and flew into a deep ditch. He pulled over and tried to get it out, but it was water logged now and too heavy (queen size). He left it there.
The ditch was directly across the street from the hotel, which was on the parallel road to the freeway.
Iโd say it worked out okay.

You can sleep on a cot at any hotel if it's that important to you. Buying one mattress from a stranger is way safer than than sleeping in one that's been used by countless people. It's not like they're going to sleep in it every night if it's in their camper anyway.

That person you're responding to must also never sit on couches at friends houses, stay at hotels, refuses to have sex in anyone elses bed but their own (and the partner must wear a hazmat suit with genital access as to not litter their mattress with foreign skin oils, loose hairs, and cells), never takes a booth at a restaurant, etc.
Like, damn, if you're hard up for money and need a mattress I understand you don't want to buy one that was in some dirty house from a sheisty person, but if you pick up a nice mattress from a clean house from seemingly nice normal people, clean it off, and then put a mattress cover over it what is the issue? You just saved a bunch of money and also saved yourself the likelihood of developing back/neck pain by sleeping on some bottom of the barrel dirt cheap mattress that you'd get just because it was brand new.

This guy must not know what mattress protectors and sheets are. For the uninformed they are layers of fabrics and other materials that get put on so you don't have to sleep directly on the mattress. I mean even the biggest germaphobe could put that shit in a sealed plastic mattress bag and there's no way you would come into contact with super nasty oils and cells.

I just know itโs easier to wash and sanitize clothes and wipe down/reupholster furniture than it is a mattress. For some reason, mattresses just seem more intimate.
Itโs like buying used socks and underwear. Yes, you can clean them, but why if you can buy something new for pretty cheap? I donโt think buying cheap panties instead of used panties means you have low standards...
That being said, if itโs your only option, go for it. But also understand why other people might be skeeved a bit by it.

I agree! I don't buy anything used that will absorb bodily fluids! Maybe clothes, but those are easily washed. Old wooden furniture is fine because I can clean the hell out of it before I bring it into my home.

I grew up in a house with two other girls my age and a single father who was kind of a slob (love him to death though) and also cheap. Well our mattresses always came from either garage sales or from a street corner. As an adult I would never want this, as a kid I knew it was wrong but where was I gonna go?

My first mattress was from the 1960s or so. I think it was my momโs as a teenager or something, I dunno. It was not comfortable. I finally got my own around 12-14 years old, give or take. That one roamed around various guest rooms until we had it in ours again. Kid used it a couple years until she got her nice new one this Xmas. Family itโs not as weird to me as random strangers. Iโd never buy a used mattress, but Iโd inherit one, and have.
We also always use sheets/pads.

So i moved and bought a new king bed for the first time last year. I got this king memory foam mattress from Amazon for $300 delivered the next day
And it's the best bed I've ever been on. It is so damn comfortable i never want to get up, and if I lay down randomly throughout the day for a minute I always end up taking a nap. This was my best Chinese product (apparently this company is huge and manufacturers mattresses for a lot of our retail mattress stores) purchase ever and if i move without being able to transport it I'll buy a second one ๐ฏ
about 10 people have slept on it and said it's amazing
Ragnrok ยท 30 points ยท Posted at 19:11:23 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I think, for decades, mattress prices have been being kept high by a combination of shipping costs and the overhead and markup of mattress stores. A memory foam mattress from Amazon is vacuum packed to the point that it takes up less than a fifth of the space of a traditional mattress in shipping and, Amazon being Amazon, they're pretty good at making money off volume instead of insane markups.
So these days spending a few hundred on an Amazon mattress will get you a mattress that's way better than any of the more expensive "discount" mattresses our cheapskate asses have been sleeping on all our lives.

We spent 1200 on a king a few years ago. It got sag spots within two years. Weโve been pulling teeth trying to get the warranty called in and they kept dragging it out. All we have asked is for the guy to call a day or two in advance so my husband (who works third) will be awake. They canโt even do that.

I recently bought this one, it arrived in 2 days which was great because I didn't need it immediately, and it's by far the best memory foam mattress I've had. My husband likes firm, and I don't, so this was a nice compromise. And since it was sub $300, if it sucked, I wasn't out a ton of money. I'm considering buying my parents one too. Highly recommend!

That's the same one I got, except I got a full. I've only had it for four or five months, but I haven't had any problems with it. Very comfy.
Edit: oh but I will say this, since I just remembered to mention it. The top layer of fabric covering the mattress is really thin. It seems like there is more than one layer, but yeah, that top layer is definitely pretty thin and could easily tear. I'd watch out for that.

I was gonna say I got a full sized memory foam mattress (12 inches tall) on Amazon too, it was about $200-$250. It was a different brand than yours, Zinus, if I remember right. It is the most comfortable bed I've ever owned!
Tldr: if you need a new mattress Amazon has good ones for much cheaper than you'd find in a store.
mtbguy1981 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 19:38:04 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I bought a Zinus made queen off of Sam's club for like $450.. it was a hybrid of coils and memory foam. It was rock hard, we hated it. Sent it back in under a week. I'll never buy a mattress without laying on it, it's just way to subjective.
montenecro ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 19:47:36 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Totally fair! I've never heard of a hybrid like that. Honestly I was really nervous about buying a mattress without feeling it first so it's definitely a crap shoot.
Oh, right! Actually Amazon sent me the wrong bed initially and they sent a twin sized Zinus spring mattress and seriously, that thing was basically a box spring. Incredibly uncomfortable. Like you said, rock hard. It was Amazon customer support who fixed that and sent me the right bed so idk if Zinus customer support is worth a damn or not.
mtbguy1981 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:00:00 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)

I bought everything on offerup and craigslist except my living room piece and the mattress. The bed frame was also on offerup but it was new in box, one of those wholesalers on offerup. I bought this exact table with the black legs for $80 on craigslist. It's also basically new, glass and a wooden bottom can't go bad, from a young couple in a nice neighborhood. I got this really fancy dining room table with 4 leather chairs that are $100 each alone, the table is black glass with a center leg that's stainless steel, $85 on offerup, it was listed for $160 and i offered 70 and she said 85 i couldn't believe it. Also got a nice chaise for the balcony for $70 on offerup Just takes some time, the coffee table took the longest because i couldn't find anything i liked at first (about a month), but sometimes you come across things right away.

It's exactly half of a king sized mattress, which is where the name comes from. If you put two of them side by side they make a king.
Basically a long twin mattress.

Yeah, in my experience full and queen mattresses are always consistent. It's just kings and twins where it gets weird.
I've never heard of a 'double twin,' but full mattresses are sometimes called doubles here, which is confusing because they are not twice the size of a twin.
The real outrage are box springs though, my store used to get them for < $25 and sell them for $100-200. For the most part they're bad for your back anyways, I just put my mattresses on the ground. If you're going to use a box spring/slats then put a solid sheet of wood over it to distribute the weight evenly.

Unless you're buying a real heavy duty cover, they are still permeable since they need to breathe. It might not have visible stains, but it is still full of dead skin and tiny things eating that dead skin. Do you, but a mattress is one thing I refuse to get used

It makes me even more mad that it was probably much cheaper than 140. They said they originally wanted 140 but just make me an offer. They could of even said something like, โI donโt have a lot of money I could only offer you $10โ and I wouldnโt be so pissed. The fact they said just give me an offer and the OP told them to essentially fuck off is rustling my jimmies.

It's certainly not hostile or demanding, but the replies in this thread would make you believe that we're dealing with some sinister, entitled lady -- because she went looking for a mattress for free and had the audacity to tell a dude straight up she wasn't looking to pay. Yeah, call her silly for thinking she can get it for free, but she also literally just had another person offer her a different mattress for free one comment earlier..

Where you audacity, I just see naivete I suppose. I don't know this lady or her circumstances, she never demanded or acted like this was owed to her, and her replies were straight forward and honest. For all we know, a simple "hey, you're unlikely to find this without paying" would be enough to affect her -- instead, this lady is seen as another villain amongst the rest. I'm just not reading the same as so many others on this thread and I'm trying to reconcile that.
I don't think that's the case; people certainly shouldn't be under the obligation to accept something just because it is free. This is supposed to be about "way too picky", but rejecting a mattress on the grounds of it being the wrong size is a completely normal and reasonable thing to do.

Having suffered through bed bugs once (from neighbours who bought used mattresses), I can't understand buying a used one. Saving a few bucks isn't worth throwing out all your stuff. We moved, bought new furniture and mattresses, heat treated all our clothes, then heat treated our new place as soon as we moved in. Cost us thousands because they tried to save a few bucks.

But the knock off memory foam mattresses from Amazon. Find a thick one (8+ inches) with good reviews and you are good to go. I got a queen for a few hundred bucks. Itโs the best bed Iโve ever had. I never wake up with back aches anymore. Memory foam is awesome.
Iโve had my Amazon mattress for about 3 years now with no sign of degradation. I seriously try to tell anyone who is talking about buying mattresses because if you go to a store to buy one you are getting ripped off. My parents bought their last mattress for $2k. Insane.

She actually wants a king single which is just a longer single but you can get a brand new king size memory foam mattress under 200 on Amazon. So it's really not worth getting a $140 King single when you can get a brand new one on Amazon for roughly the same and it isn't covered in who knows what.
The days of thousand-dollar mattresses are over. They're only sold to older people who don't check the internet now.

Because they don't want to ask for $70 and you to Jew them down to $50. I don't use Facebook, but that is how Craigslist is. If someone needs a hundred for an item they ask $120. If someone pays full great. If someone offers $100 you get what you needed and they feel like they got a good deal. Win win.

Same, from Michigan. No one ever says "Jew" in any context minus literally discussing those who are Jewish.
In all likelihood the person that said it in the comment above made that whole comment to say Jew like that (the whole comment in general doesn't really offer anything besides a backhanded and sarcastic response that anyone could have figured) in order to come off "edgy" and any direct argument will cause them to snowflake so you kinda just have to hot potato it and move on ๐คท
Edit: LOL, they're literally pulling the classic "old habits die hard" shit below. Literally this person thinks they're cocking back in their chair and lighting a cigarette and really is going to try and hope to come off like "an old man in their ways". Fucking cancer.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12133597/ns/dateline_nbc-dont_let_the_bed_bugs_bite/t/your-bed-bug-questions-answered/
"Question:ย Can bedbugs also live in visco-memory foam beds? I have read some claims online that say that the bedbugs cannot get into the foam beds.ย
Answer:ย Remember that bed bugs getย onย mattresses and harbor and under the sheets in the seams and tufts. While they may not be able to getย intoย the actual foam, it hardly matters. They can harbor on the foam, in the seams of the mattress cover or in the bed frame.ย Remember the mattress itself is not the bed bug attractant, the host that uses it is. ย So bed bugs do not have to live inside the mattress in order to feed on you at night. ย They might crawl down from the picture frame hanging above your bed or from some other location."
So you can visually inspect, but I don't think theres a store bought test. You could also buy the mattress, put a plastic cover on it and expose it to extreme cold (like a detached garage in a far northern winter) for a few weeks and hopefully it would kill any bed bugs present

Iโve never had a new mattress in my life! (Well, maybe in my crib...I was the firstborn.) Every one has been a hand me down, which is at least better than secondhand from a stranger. And at least I put egg crates on top. I once had a $$$ memory foam topper that I actually โbrokeโ and wore a rut in because Iโm bedbound so much. But for Valentineโs Iโm finally getting a NEW MATTRESS! I think Iโm going with the Purple Matress. First I wanted a fancy SleepNumber like my in-laws, but the Purple is thousands less and looks better for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Iโm so stoked to finally have my own mattress, not a 20-year-old dinosaur. No wonder I can barely move in the mornings.

Thank you!
Oh, Iโve got my eye on some apparently incredible sheets, all new everything, including comforter and duvet. Iโm blanking on the brand name, but I see it advertised on a Facebook and recommended by friends. Iโm very into comfortable sheets, theyโre like the Holy Grail. Currently I swear by Ralph Lauren 100% cotton sheets, which will still serve as good spares. (Gotta have at least 3 sets, one on the bed, one in the wash, one in the linen closet.) Iโm going to get Purple Pillows along with every type of basic pillow I could ever need - extra firm, firm, medium, soft. Iโm giddy with excitement over how fresh and comfortable Iโll finally feel!
Years ago I had an ikea bed with slats and an ikea matress that I bought from a friend. It was for my off-campus carriage house apartment. It lasted years, then two friends were high and jumping on it, and the slats broke. Then I spent years with just the thing mattress on the floor. My now-husband bought me my first box spring and frame, to get me off the freakinโ floor. I think our current matress was my uncleโs. Canโt wait to have a grownup bed! And extremely nice sheets! Itโs the kind of investment that is for bodily comfort and mental well-being.

Buy the Purple! It was the best purchase we made last year. It's a bit firmer than I thought it would be but and it took nearly a full month for me to adjust to it but it's well worth it! My husband doesn't wake up with shoulder and back pain and I actually sleep through the night now. I wouldn't get the base though. We recently got a new bedroom set and I swear the bed feels better on a box spring instead of the metal frame.

I was just going to get a boxspring. That way if I return the Purple (100-night Guarantee) I have the boxspring thatโs ready for whatever I get instead.
Edit: and thanks for the rec! My husband has a bad back and both shoulders have been dislocated multiple times (he was an athlete) and as I said, I have RA, so a good mattress is really, really important. What did you have before? I feel like the Purple looks like a good option for our physical needs. We still have to look at Texas Mattress Makers, they come highly recommended.

Sleep Numbers beds are adjustable by being an air mattress (the thing you blow up to sleep on the floor at grandma's house) disguised as a real mattress. Air mattresses provide no support unless inflated totally firm, your heavier parts sink and you wake up with back and hip pain.
Definitely don't pay more for that garbage than for a real mattress.
meglet ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:13:11 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, they are hella expensive air mattresses BUT Iโm weird - I friggin LOVE air mattresses. I think theyโre super comfy. During Harvey, I stayed at my parentsโ house a few extra days primarily to enjoy the air mattress I was on (their house was packed with refugees)(my own house lost power but wasnโt flooded, unlike other family members who are still not back in their homes; one sold hers to the government and walked away.) I also like the adjustability of the SleepNumber, because my needs change as my arthritis goes between everyday pain to crippling pain and back ๐ฐ My inlaws have the kind that also adjusts the rise at the head and feet, which is also good for RA.
That being said, the price is crazy high for what Iโd want. I think Iโll try the Purple with its guarantee then go from there. Not much to lose, really.
fredbrightfrog ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:22:26 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I choose to sleep on the floor instead of on an air mattress when I visit my grandma, so that I don't spend the week with back pain (which I don't have any hint of in my daily life when not sleeping on air mattresses).
Different strokes, I guess.

Iโm a very unique case with unique needs. But the price point is still really high. If I wasnโt intent on sleeping next to my husband, I might just sleep on a much more reasonably priced regular old air mattress!

When we moved into our house, we decided to upgrade from my full-size to a king. We got a memory foam mattress. LIFE CHANGER. The first morning we woke up in it, I was awake by like eight and just laid there until almost noon.

Idk. A used mattress is one thing that isn't that interesting in resale. Depending on how long in use it's been. You don't know what's been soaking in those giant sponges that are almost impossible to clean. Sweat, saliva, intercourse fluids, urine, etc. What's been growing in there mold or stuff. One story I recall was a mattress had some water damage , but it was bought used and turned out inside the mattress mold has grown making the couple sick often enough they wonder what was getting them sick enough to go to the hospital until they cut open the used mattress. Depending on where they stored the old mattress (garage or attic) what may have gotten into it. What really creeps me out is seeing people who pick up mattress from the trash to take home or any fabric furniture

Yeah, I started with it. Saw the request and thought, "Ok, whatever, asking around if anyone has a mattress. That's fair. Not too picky, if you have the frame, etc, you're going to need a certain size. Smoke-free is a reasonable request".
Then someone offers the wrong size and they're perfectly polite. Stating that it doesn't fit the size requirements. That's fine.
And then the kicker, wants it for free. -_-
It's $140, that's not bad at all.

People routinely give away things like used mattresses, because they don't want the hassle of selling them. If you watch local forums like Nextdoor or Facebook groups, you can find things like this-eventually. Rational people feel fortunate when they find the thing they need for free. Entitled people expect it on demand, because they're entitled.
Speaking of the hassle of selling things, craigslist was absolute magic when it first set up pages beyond of San Francisco, in the early '00s. It wasn't widely known, and the least educated parts of the population weren't online much. You could buy, sell, or trade almost anything, and it always worked like magic. I once posted an ad offering a large dog crate in exchange for a used chest freezer, I got the freezer the same day and both parties felt like they got something great for nothing. Now, of course, CL is full of absolutely horrible people.

Mattresses are only extremely expensive in stores mostly targeting older folk who don't look at Amazon where you can buy fine memory foam mattresses for under $200.
$140 for a used mattress vs around 180 for a brand new memory foam mattress on Amazon is really not worth it considering what is typically on used mattresses.

I think the logic is that if they are asking on the internet, the pool is large enough that there is someone who will see the request who happens to want to get rid of their king size memory foam mattress and just wants to give it away. The choosing beggar can imagine that such a person probably exists, and they are intending to find that person.
It's a nice vision, but sadly backwards.

Mattresses last over a decade though, are there really that many people throwing them out? Especially memory foam ones?
One thing I know is that there is a massive demand for free mattresses. I gave one away on Craigslist and I got a good 20 or 30 people asking within a couple hours. I tried giving away a couch and nobody ever replied to that.

I live in a skyrise and see a mattress a week in the trash room. Are you sure they last a decade? I had mine for a few years and am ready to throw it out. Cheaper memory foam one on Amazon. Seems to be sinking.
I'm sure if you pay 1,000 you will want to sell it but you can get them for 150 now so why bother.

Not really. Mattresses have ridiculous markup, which is why mattress stores are always empty yet profitable (they need about 1 sale per day to break even). It's a lot like getting a diamond ring at a "discount", you might think you got it for a steal until you actually try to sell it for more.

Wasn't there some scandal recently about 'The Mattress Firm' being a huge money laundering operation? It started with a joke or something about someone here posted about it being weird how there are so many stores and they are always empty. Then a story comes out that they just discovered huge accounting irregularities. Too lazy to google it but I prefer to believe it's true just for amusement.
My first thought to your comment was "of course that's what they want you to think so you don't think it's suspicious that there are never customers in there...."

You're thinking of somebody-on-Reddit's analysis of Mattress stores. The truth is, yes, The Mattress Firm I believe is being investigated for something to do with taxes; but the reality is exactly what the person above you said - Mattress Stores have ridiculous markups, to where you can open a ton of them an still be profitable.
nathanb131 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 19:57:43 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
It really is remarkable how effective the mattress industry has been at preventing consumers to make good research-based choices. It's one of the very few remaining product categories that reminds me of the 90's or before, when very little truly objective information was widely available to most people for most products.
That appears to be starting to change, which may explain some of the accounting funny-business to keep a dying business model afloat.
However, I'm still going to pretend every mattress store is a money laundering front solely for my own amusement.
Edit: It still boggles my mind how most people still consult their friends or the SALESPERSON when researching an expensive item. Forget that we have these incredible search engines that are really good at giving us far better insight by learning from the collective experience of 1000's of strangers.... instead why not query the anecdotal experience of a few people you just happen to know and/or the guy who is on commission. As a researcher, the fact that we still have to play the mattress game the 'classic' way really irks me.

Well, based on these comments it's either because their product has an obscenely high profit margin or it's a money laundering front.
Help us find out. Go into a store and start checking under the mattresses. If the the salesperson gives you a knowing nod instead of confusion, you'll know the answer.

You don't actually have to compute the number just to see how many trailing zeroes it has, interestingly enough!

Right you just have to figure out how many multiples of 10 are in the formula I think. Like 140! Has 140, 130, 120, 110, 100, 90, and so on. Then do God knows what to the resulting number to get the total number of trailing zeroes.
MathPolice ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:38:23 on February 11, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Actually, you can just do multiples of 5, like 140, 135, 130, 125, and so on. Because for each multiple of 5 there is guaranteed to be at least one multiple of 2 to pair with it. And 2x5=10.
So for 140, there are 28 of those.
Where do the other 6 zeroes come from to get 34 trailing zeroes?
Well remember that multiples of 25 need to be counted twice (because 25=5x5). So there are 5 of those: 25, 50, 75, etc.
And 125 needs to be counted three times.
BOOM, we're now up to 34. Hooray!

This whole post is full of people wanting to find something to get upset over even if it is very minor. People do give things away for free when they just want to get rid of it, so itโs not unreasonable to ask around.
I gave one of my friends old furniture for free. Before I said it was free he asked how much for it, and I said to just take it. He did me a favor just by helping me move it out of my place to take it, and that was good enough for me even though I also could have made money by selling it.
In fact in this very post where people are losing their minds over them not wanting to buy the mattress, you can see someone else offering one for free as well. That just goes to show how reasonable the question was.

Strange. Things have been rough the past few years and I've had to rely on thrifting (especially Goodwill) and the deals there are amazing. I've been to the SoCal and Austin stores and have gotten furniture, clothing, suits, books, cookware, etc at pretty remarkable prices for both the used and some of the new stuff.
I really support what they do. They're good people

I used to work up in the St. Cloud while going to school a few years ago. They were decent prices but then in a matter of three months their prices just went sky high. Very disappointing. But I did learn a lot for when I go shopping there occasionally now.

Mattress stores barely sell mattresses now because they are only sold to older folks who don't just go to Amazon and get a brand new memory foam mattress for less than $200.
Mattress stores mark up their beds by a thousand percent because of an extremely successful marketing campaign in like the 50s and 60s when they convinced people to spend absurd amounts of money on a bed because of how much time they spend on it.
Save yourself thousands of dollars and never go to a mattress store again.

I dunno, but her thumbing her nose at shelling out 140 bucks for the extremely rare/specific product she's asking for seem odd to me. If she were asking for something ordinary/general I can understand, but turning down the exact thing you've asked for because you think that you shouldn't pay for things strikes me as silly.

To be fair that mattress wasn't worth anywhere near that much new. I bought a brand new full size memory foam mattress for $140 on Amazon last year.
Paying $140 for a used memory foam mattress is inconsolable.
Granted she's still being an asshole about it.

Maybe they really donโt care about getting one for their camper, but it would be a nice to have if they can get one for free. I donโt see whatโs wrong with that. Clearly you can see in this post that the other person was happy to give theirs away.
If the person was giving them shit for trying to sell it and telling them to give it away for free, then I would understand. But come on, people actually do give furniture away as we can see within this very same post. I have also done it and know others who have. Thereโs no harm in politely asking. I donโt understand why everyone in this thread is trying so hard to find reasons to be outraged or upset.

I do. I buy used mattresses on the low and sell them on the black market for nearly triple the price, where the used mattress niche is BOOMING. Just kidding. Usually I get them free. If not then for a very low price. I then cut it open and recycle the springs inside for a little extra money on the side. It's a win-win. People get rid of their old mattresses, they don't have to dispose of it themselves, and I get some extra cash for doing it for them.

There are a lot of people ITT saying that they would never buy a used mattress (or get one for free)...but I'm going to offer up some anecdotal experience that refutes that fear. I once had a bf who wanted me to have a queen sized bed rather than a full sized bed. It was stupid - they aren't that different, and he rarely stayed over. But anyway, he was paying for it. So I sold my perfectly good, non-bed bug-infested mattress to a stranger from Craigslist. It had always had a mattress protector on it. It was, really, perfectly fine. She asked why I was selling it, I told her, we laughed about it, and everyone was happy.

Who takes a goddamn used mattress. That's worse than used undies, if you think about it.
E: Your downvotes are delicious.

Have you not slept in a hotel before?

I wouldn't buy an a hotel mattress that was being replaced. Like underwear, it's generally kept until end-of-life. Unlike underwear, mattresses can't be washed.
The only time I would consider purchasing a used one would be from someone I knew who had a month or two old mattress, and was moving out of state for a new job.
I don't cheap out on things that separate my body from the ground. Bed, shoes, tires, etc.

You make a great point, which makes me wonder if I'm just a germ freak. Yes, I've slept in a hotel, but I take the comforter off (always!) and I inspect the sheets.

So then the answer to your own question is you. You take a godamn used mattress.
You just check the... sheets first.

Nice try, but I don't haul giant cotton contraptions from other peoples' homes into my own.

Some people are poor and can't afford a brand new mattress.

Why not steam the mattress? New sheets? Mattress covers? There are ways.

I'm finding this trend seriously interested! The value of "stuff" has been dropping since the invention of stuff. Along with new staff, we keep inventing cheaper ways of making yet. Unwanted stuff, that would have been immensely valuable hundreds of years ago, has gone down in price to the point where it's more expensive to recycle than produce. Much used stuff now has a negative value, and I'm not sure this trend won't continue as we run out of landfill space and we get more conscious about pollution. Interesting times.

ARE YOU SERIUS LMAO. To be fair, that Facebook comment resembles what a Craiglist scam sounds like.
"Send me your name and the number of the money order and then Ill ship you the mattress."

The mattress isn't really that specific though
iamfaedreamer ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 15:43:03 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
must be king single (a kinda rare size in and of itself), must be memory foam, must be smoke free, must be FREE. that's some pretty specific choosiness from someone begging for a v expensive mattress for free. ten bucks says she wants it delivered too lol.
Ryzasu ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:46:51 on February 9, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah the fact she wants it for free is ridiculous but in her case any other mattress is useless (I personally wouldn't want a smoker's mattress even close to my home, that's disgusting, and the size is just what she needs otherwise it doesn't fit) and you might encounter 'the one' who has her mattress and wants to give it away for free
