I'm thinking about buying a cheap, firm mattress and a memory foam topper. And my air mattress was great, until my cats put holes in it.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sounds like a perfect plan. I love my memory foam topper.

That seems like the perfect plan, smonster.
I sleep on a mattress that is so soft, it has a me shaped crater in the center. I lurve it. Plus, a feather topper AND a wool topper. MMMM.....comfy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's what we have, smonster, and it works great.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know it`s NOT DONE these days because of bedbugs and whatnot, but I bought my mattress at a thrift shop. $100 and I went in on 50% day, so fifty bucks for a king sized mattress in fabulous condition.

Good on ya Liese.
I remember an Oprah episode years ago about ridic mattress prices and nefarious industry practices. Such as, changing model names within a region to ensure that consumers cannot comparison shop...300-400% mark-ups and fake sales.
It strikes me that there are several products on the market that are priced so high, simply because they can be!
The mattress I sleep on is at _least_ 14 years old (it belonged to an ex) and I have no interest in replacing it. As aforementioned, the most comfortable bed I've EVER slept on.

I bought my current mattress, new, in 2000, after I moved out of my boyfriend's apartment. It's getting a little saggy in the middle, but so am I. I'm not willing to pay money for a new one yet.

Mine was over 20 years old, and was sagging a bit so I left it in NC. Kind of regretting that now. I'm actually considering just getting a foam topper and putting it on the floor, see how that does.
Liese, were it not for bedbugs, I'd be all over that. If I knew anyone selling a bed, I'd buy it.
eta found a queen set for $398. Sold!

I could probably do an air mattress, but it would need to be on a frame. This body doesn't do things that involve being on floor level if I can help it.
