Honestly you can go on Amazon and get quality beds. I bought a memory foam queen mattress online for $300 shipped. I worked as a delivery driver for a mattress company for 2 years, and I can verify that this mattress is on par with the quality of our supposed "$2000" memory foam mattresses. Mark ups are INSANE. My boss would spend around 2k for a delivery from the manufacturer, which would contain something like 6-8 full beds (mattress, boxspring, frame). Each of these would sell for between 1k and 4k with delivery, varying only somewhat in quality. Only the really low end "discount" beds were noticeably less comfortable. The one I picked up online stands up to many of the luxury beds I've worked with, its the best mattress I've ever slept on. 10/10 would buy a bed from Amazon any day and probably from here on out.
Edit: for those who have been asking, here is a link to the one I picked up: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NH0XWNU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gS3ZAbADH6PPE
I just finished furnishing a house and bought several mattresses and bed frames. I got an INCREDIBLY COMFY king bed and frame for less than $400 on Amazon. Here's the mattress I got.
I was really happy with the foam mattress I ordered from Amazon. Zinus and Spa Sensations are great. In fact, Amazon has a great sale right now. You only need a full-size bed now so it's even cheaper!

Everyone else covered all the other stuff well except a bed. the fuck is wrong with ya'll?
a futon? a futon mattress? air mattress??? fuck that shit
A good nights sleep is as important as eating, you don't need to spend all your money on it either.
Bed, blanket, sheets, and pillows: ~$350

mattress: http://amzn.com/B005A4OP8Y or http://www.walmart.com/ip/Slumber-1-8-Mattress-In-a-Box-Multiple-Sizes/14225185?
note: I've had this set for a year, great buy. fuck futons.
another note: if tying to decide between a twin, full, or queen size mattress. get a queen. even if you have a tiny room you'll have a big bed. never get a king (or cal king) size mattress unless you have a permanent home, those things are a hassle to move and/or get rid of.
'nother note2: buy the sheets the same size as the bed, but buy the blanket/comforter the next size up it'll make all the difference on an extra cold night or when someone else is in bed with you.
'nother note3: don't get a used bed. you only need to encounter bedbugs once for you to consider setting your entire apartment on fire. even if that doesn't deter you just imagine sleeping on a pile of someone else's shedded skin and dried sweat.

I've had this saved for a while as an alternative to a bed, it might work for you
Ok I have moved about a dozen times in my life. Trust me I'm a pro at this. This will be long so I'm gonna divide into sections.
Furniture
Moving itself
Once you are in
Don't forget you are going to have to buy things you forgot about or that just come up those first few weeks. Somehow you will move in and realize you don't have a mop, or a kitchen trashcan, or about 50 other things that just happened to be your roommates, or where the hell is the dish detergent and oh fuck I forgot that I need toilet paper and I ran out two days ago.
I try to set aside about $100-$200 for these weird incidentals. If you are worried about running low buy stuff at the dollar store, you can get a better version next paycheck. Also if you are low on dishes this a great place to get some that are honestly perfectly fine. Big lots is also good for cheap dishes. Also not a bad idea to plan for the money to eat out a few days during the move when you normally wouldn't. For me its the one time I let myself have fast food.
Once you are moved in, be careful about your grocery bill if previously you were splitting groceries and not just buying your own. Buying for one is very different than buying for two, easier for things to go bad in your fridge.
Utilities/Bills
There will be deposits and unexpected service fees. When you set up your accounts ask specifically what will be on the first bill other than normal recurring charges. Do not think the bills will somehow be half of what you used before. Use A/C or heat sparingly until you see a couple bills. Replace all your lightbulbs with LEDs. Shop around to make sure you buy the cheaper ones they work just as well and they will save you a fortune on electric.
Buy a programmable thermostat if your unit doesn't already have one. They are easy to install yourself, will save you a lot of money buy avoiding running the heat/air while you aren't home, and are only about $40 on Amazon.
You need internet, you do not need cable. You do not need the fancy internet plan the company wants to sell you. Start with the lowest tier internet plan and buy Hulu or Netflix or maybe both. If you have streaming issues upgrade the internet later. When you set up cable request that you not be on a contract (cancelation fees when you move and don't want it are a bitch).
There are a ton of other posts about the real estate market in town and its really a sellers market right now. We have a ton of new-build apartments that have gone up recently and are expensive for what Pittsburghers are used to paying for rent but are in-line with your budget.
Dude I got an all foam mattress from amazon for $300. Best bang for your buck right there. Edit: I'm 6.3", got the king size.

we've had ours for a while now and I can say it's the best mattress we have ever owned.
Go on Amazon. Same exact foam, same mattress, more than half the cost. We got a king sized memory foam for $300 and we love it.
This is the one we got, there's other brands for about the same price, this one just has a lot of good reviews

Coming from someone who's had chronic back pain their whole adult life, and has used one of the higher end version of these - a good chair is important but not as important as a good mattress and pillow.
This is the high end "workpro" model: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/493966/WorkPro-Commercial-Mesh-Back-Executive-Chair/
This is the one i got, on sale for $140 this weekend:
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/448590/WorkPro-Quantum-Mesh-Mid-Back-Task/
Both are loads better than those dxracer chairs.
And this chair is not very good, I've tried the nice one and still had back issues - tried one of the "workpro" models from office depot for 140$ and i can tell you its loads better.
Going back to the mattress though, if you suffer from lower back/shoulder/neck pain - get yourself a good memory foam/gel mattress, i got one last Friday and am almost completely pain free now, i never knew how much it mattered until i slept on my sister's "sleep innovations" 12" foam mattress after moving an entire apartment of stuff up 4 flights of stairs.… i woke up with no back pain the next morning, and instantly went and bought myself one.
This is the mattress you should get if you have back issues like i did, skip the chair for now and do yourself a favor: https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-Shiloh-12-inch-Mattress/dp/B003CT37L0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1478128801&sr=8-3&keywords=sleep+innovations

I have a 6in folding twin memory foam that fits perfectly and fold up into the trunk when not in use.
Here ya go!
I have these two brand new, and they are excellent:
I just bought my second one of these for a guest bed, and have been sleeping on the same one for 3 years now. Amazing bed, especially for the price. Has a 20 year warranty, just like Tempurpedic.
Edit: I always confuse bed and mattress; OP, are you looking for a bed frame or a mattress?
My $250 memory foam bed delivered for free with Amazon prime is the best and most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. Signature Sleep 12 Inch Memory Foam Mattress, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005A4OO80/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ohFTzb1HA2JZJ
(THREE people I've dated have ended up buying it too, haha)
Without a scummy referral link
I bought a queen sized memory foam mattress for $350 on Amazon a few years ago. Been amazing so far. Has 10 year full warranty.
Edit: It's this one. Sleep Innovations Shiloh 12-inch Memory Foam Mattress, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CT37L0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JvzIAb7M0K5XV
Going through the hard times makes the good times that much more sweet :) Good for you!! I recommend a bed frame like this
. I also have a memory foam and it does not need the boxspring.
Amazon sells these mattresses that are similar to ones sold at Ikea that get shipped to you in a duffel bag and they unfold.
Here's a twin for $160. It's the #2 best selling mattress on Amazon. Here's the best selling mattress list if you're interested.
Another suggestion is to go to Target and get the Target brand air mattress. When I first moved to an apartment, all I slept on was my air mattress because I couldn't afford a bed. I've had it for 3 years with no problem. Here's the one I have. It's $46 plus you'll need a pump ($15). There are cheaper ones if you want a smaller one.
Also, I'd second someone's suggestion of buying a futon. It can function as your couch and bed. Good luck!

I’m not sure what your current financial situation is, but I wanted to share this anyway. Maybe you could quickly save up for it or make a mini GoFundMe.
My husband and I purchased this mattress when we moved to an apartment together. It’s super inexpensive but has been the best mattress either of us has slept on, ever. It’s a perfect combination of firm and soft. The prices also vary depending on what size/length you get

Queen size Memory Foam 12-inch thick for $250 including free shipping.
Best mattress I've ever slept on.
Mattress stores are extremely expensive and will mark up the same or equivalent mattresses by 2-5 times the price just because they know people assume they cost a month's pay.
I got my mattress off Amazon and it's one of those memory foam deals that comes all compressed. It is super firm, so if you're not into firm, you would hate it. It was under $200, though, so way worth it for me! I have not noticed any of the temperature issues other people have with memory foam.

I dunno about OP, but this is the one that I bought on Amazon.
I got this in early 2017 and I love it. It's got a 10 year limited warranty against manufacturer defects, and a 100 day trial period in which you can send it back for any reason.
I ended up buying the same mattress in a twin size for my toddler because of how much I like mine.
This is the mattress. It was discounted on prime day to $180 for the queen and $150 for the full if I remember correctly. I was thinking of buying it and noticed the same review as the OP.

While you were out haggling with a mattress salesman I had a beer and bought the most comfortable mattress you can get for 400 bucks.
Just get a partial memory foam mattress like this one or get a memory foam mattress topper.
Speaking as someone who lives in a small SF studio apt...
In addition to your excellent recommendation on varied sizes of containers, I have this 100 clear ziplock bags set as well as a variety of larger bags in varying sizes. So if I've got something with little accessories, I'll toss those accessories in tiny ziplock bags, then put them in a larger ziplock bag shared with the main item when I store it on a shelf or a container. For example, I do this with my medicine cabinet / toiletries. I organize stuff into ziplock bags by function ("sinus / cold", painkillers, GI, etc) and then toss them in the closet in a small box, to avoid clutter in my cramped bathroom and keep only things I use routinely close at hand.
I've got a couple little tupperware boxes like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004F03L98 which I put labels on and stack in my closet. Plus I've got an old shoebox or two for knicknacks.
In my small pantry, I've got these little DecoBros Expandable Stackable Kitchen Cabinet and Counter Shelf Organizer to maximize vertical space.
I put my seasonal clothing into space saver "packing cube" compression bags.
Some of my cleaning and organizing is motivated by dust mite allergies - but ultimately I'm working on a long-term solution to that. So I'm getting immunotherapy to become resistant to allergens and also use a dehumidifier to kill the dust mites.
I also keep an inventory of the items that I really liked. If I bought it retail, I'll find it online. That way, I can sell or junk something with the peace of mind that I can buy it again when I need it.
I do the typical things to minimize possessions: I have a few merino wool items that I wear most often, have a single bankers box for files with almost nothing it it (scan), no desktop computer, store very few physical books, and so on.
For my sleeping area, I use this cheap Zinus frame and store a bunch of stuff under it. That gives me extra storage and it's also cheap and easy to replace I do a long move. For my bed itself, I use a Sleep Number bed - it's easy to pack it into the back of a sedan, and you can customize the firmness to get to the "medium-firm" which clinical trials have demonstrated to be the best.
My desk/dining table is public white 42" high dining table which allows me to stand if I want; these 29.5" Bar Stool fit and store nicely.
On the digital front, I have a very hefty dotfiles repo, use https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior for tasks, and have finally transitioned pretty much all my finances to the double-entry beancount leveraging https://github.com/beancount/fava (after trying the earlier ledger/hledger tools).
i have one of these sitting in my car right now to deliver to my girl's place.
Heavy duty to support our fat asses, according to the reviews it's quiet, elevated (you don't use a box with it) so toy chests can roll under it. Also, with the way it's constructed, plenty of places to discreetly attach things.
/u/LowkeyMischief, if you're still shopping... take a look.
I got this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006MISZOC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
It's pretty amazing for the price and there's only a few bolts to even squeak. The bed it replaced had like 50 bolts and screws and drove me insane.
I bought this mattress frame. Keeps the bed off the floor, no box spring required, and has storage underneath. Also really easy to set up.

115 BUCKS TOTALLY WELL SPENT!
I have the full version and it is the best. I have been floor sleeping on it for 3 months and the usual back pain I deal with no longer exists. YMMV. It folds up so easy every morning and my 15 mo old sits on it to watch movies.
We had a pillow top queen (major name brand, maybe Sealy? Can't quite recall) for 5 years. When we moved, we decided to upgrade our furniture and get a king sized bed. Because we had spent $$$$$ on the down payment, other furniture, etc. we decided to try out a cheap memory foam mattress from Amazon as a "filler" piece until we could save up and comfortably afford a more expensive mattress.
You'd have to pry this mattress out of my cold, dead hands. We have no intention of giving it up/upgrading at this point, because there's nothing to upgrade. I sleep like a baby. My husband sleeps like a baby. We used to wake up with slight back pain/aches - no more. I can toss and turn all I want, and he can't feel a thing. It's been amazing.
These are surprisingly comfortable. I have two - we take them camping sometimes at festivals but I've also used them at home for myself or guests:

Highly recommend this. My husband and I are both big guys (over 600 lbs combined) and this thing doesnt budge.
Highly recommend a fold away memory foam mattress.... I have one in my youngest 2’s room for just such occasions

i love my memory foam mattress, very comfortable and resilient. it was also much cheaper than the average mattress. the 2 main downsides i have come across though are that they can be a little hot. so not great in summer and if you lay in one spot to long it can be hard to move. so if your say watching a movie in bed or reading a book it can be hard to adjust your position into something that is more comfortable for sleeping. i won't lay in my bed anymore unless i know for sure i am going to sleep. other than that though the mattress is fantastic, it's very easy to fall asleep you don't get lumps in the bed, and if you have a partner movement doesn't transfer much so you don't wake them up. oh thats one last complaint, sex is a bit harder since you sink into the bed more. i would definitely recommend getting one though if your looking for a mattress. i purchased a Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress, Queen for 200 bucks at the start of 2016. when it was on sale. it's 279 now.
You can do better than you think!

Quite possibly the best value I've ever enjoyed, no joke.
Exactly. We've replaced all the old mattresses we had for our 4BR house with these and couldn't be happier with them.
Amazon.
I recently bought a queen size, memory foam mattress (2 inches of mem foam and 10 inches of reg. foam). I have amazon prime so it shipped for free in 2 days. The mattress took a day to expand out of the packaging and it had a chemical smell for a little while but I was super happy with the purchase, I didn't have to go anywhere and talk to anyone to do it, and the mattress is super comfortable. I spent $517 and it was worth it.
Edit: Our mattress is on the floor and I can't tell the difference between that and having it on some sort of platform or frame. This is the one we bought. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CT37L0/ref=oss_product
Got a "burrito bed" from Amazon in 2016 for $230 + $80 for a metal frame to put it on. This was after I tried going to brick and mortar stores and saw that they wanted $700-1000 for just a mattress and the frame would be like another $200 minimum.
It's probably the best sleep I've ever gotten and plan to buy one again in the future. It was made better in that the salespeople at brick and mortar acted like I was a crazy idiot for buying a mattress online and that they "hoped I like bedbugs".
I got a version of this platform bed. I really like it.
Pros:
Cheap its only about $80 for a queen size
No boxspring needed.
Dont need tools to put it together.
14 inches high so you can fit stuff under it (i keep my laundry basket under it) and can crawl under it when you inevitably drop your phone down the back.
2 pieces and it folds so you can easily carry it up stairs (18lbs each). Folded up it can fit in the back of a sedan if you are moving.
Pretty solid i dont hear any squeaks or anything from it.
Cons:
High chance you will pinch your fingers while putting it together.
It looks like something you would find in a prison/barracks. I highly suggest a $10 bed skirt.
You can stub your toe on the center leg pretty easy. Throw some pipe insulation on it under the bed skirt to save your toes.
Your becoming an adult ... Time to straight up just sit down with your roomy and say, I need to rub the muffin and we need to figure this out. as for the boys on the other side of the wall, they are probably jerking off. I did find this interesting thing on amazon ask for it for Christmas.

I bought a memory foam mattress on Amazon and it's the tits. This is the one I got. I did add an extra 1 inch memory foam topper cause it wasn't as soft as I preferred.
Thanks! I'm an engineer, so my choices were also driven by practicality.
For example, that couch also rearranges into the exact size for a [queen sized mattress]( Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Mattress) to lay on top except for one missing corner, which is exactly the height of the coffee table. I can also fit a queen sized bed where the bar stools go. When my sister and her friend visited, they each got their own queen bed. One of those beds is stored in the closet.
I despise big bulky bed frames. When I was deciding if I was okay with floor sleeping I started sleeping on the floor to see if it was comfortable. I did this for a while and made my decision about getting rid of the bed. I found that I'm comfortable floor sleeping if there's carpet but not if it's hard flooring. You also want to take into account if you are comfortable having sex on the floor, possibly having company stay over, or relaxing on the floor as well. In the end I did keep my bed, and I went with a sturdy, but very practical bed frame. This frame doesn't require a box, and it folds for easy moving. I paired it with a foam hybrid mattress that's easy to move when i move. The frame is definitely not necessary if you live in a house, but I got it for my cargo van. I love that your entire wardrobe can slide under the bed in bins.

I had a similar bed, but not from ikea. Tbh I really didn’t want to go through buying and rebuilding so instead I took out all the slates. Leaving just the headboard and frame around it. Then I bought one of these

Dont bring all your gear from cif and rfi I brought all mine it sucks carrying. Try and just bring a bunch of thermals and then like your fleece and maybe your Wet weather gear. Also bring a nice fucking collapsing chair. All of the ones we had broke so we had some people buy some for tons of money or buy like 3 $25 chairs from bazar because they kept breaking. Also some carabiners or life savers so you can just hook gear and your m4 to shit and body armor. Also a plastic bed cover if you're like me and done wanna sleep in old ass beds without a layer between. Civ shorts and shirts for to and from toilet. Nice headlamp preferably rechargeable and a lightbulb for tents or rechargeable light for your personal area in the tent or bay. Personal mug cakes really helped something sweet from home if your in like Dalke. A soft gator neck mil spec on sucks. Strong allergy meds, a couple portable batterys 20000, a solid state external battery my traditional one broke from a small drop the SSD ones wont break easy. Paracord and duck tape, the rfi winter boots are good since the show soaks through your summer boots easy and you ur feet will be cold af. One of those big ass roller duffles helps and a tough box. Good set of eye pro its required some fobs.

$500 and amazing
This has been recommended before, and it was such a great idea I bookmarked it. If I could give proper credit I would, but Reddit's search function is the absolute most useless piece of garbage I've ever been subject to in 20 years of computing. I've owned more $1000-$2000 mattresses in my life than I'd genuinely care to admit, and this combination is more amazing than any of them:

Honestly, a full size bed would be perfectly adequate for two, if a bit cozy. It would also buy you a little extra room when every inch counts. I'd recommend a frame like this one that would allow storage underneath. It squeaks a bit and it's definitely barebones, but it's affordable and can fold up easy for moving. I own one in a queen size and have a very small room as well.
As for the rest of the room, get a tape measure and a notepad and measure the footprints of everything in the room so you can draw a plan view of the room and play around with configurations. If casual seating is a must, I would get rid of the couch and instead get a nicer futon frame in full size that can perform double-duty.
WIth a space this size, it's all about finding multi-functional pieces and things that can be broken down quickly and tucked out of the way.
Yay! I love when things like this happen. It seems small but it's not, that's your space! Separate, adult space for you.
This sounds a lot like the first house my husband and I rented together. Not really a bungalow but it was built in 1903 and of course had tiny closets so all our clothes were in a weird tiny bedroom down the hall and our bedroom was basically a mattress on the floor (also couldn't fit the box spring upstairs).
An idea, we got this for the bed: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006MIUM20/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KNK2AbFGPZ45G
Cheaper than a real giant bed and it folds so once you do get one you can store it!
This type of bed frame was what i used when i was moving around. https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B006MIUM20/ref=sr_1_3?crid=9TEGYYFFAKN&keywords=bed+frame+queen&qid=1565899595&s=gateway&sprefix=bed%2Caps%2C353&sr=8-3
Amazon recommends purchasing this bed frame. It's what I have, and it fits the mattress perfectly.
Amazon, as always! :D I got the 14" Zinus bed frame based off a friend's recommendation (link is to king size) but I'm already kind of wishing I'd gotten the 16" high version after I got a closer look at the limitations of the 14" (only 13" high bins, and the braces on the ends mean you only get to put the tall bins in the middle.)
It was surprisingly inexpensive, and I'm very much looking forward to the lack of box springs. And the cat is looking forward to having enough clearance to actually stand upright when he crawls under the bed. LOL.
Speaking of which, I should get off the Internet and back to my project, I'm just 6 bolts away from being rid of the old bed!
This is what I use. Super comfy and I am 6’3”

I used this mattress on the floor, for side laying breastfeeding, every night from about 2 or 3 weeks until he was about 8 weeks, and then off and on when he would have bad witching hours / cluster feeds / needy nights until about 11 weeks.
Milliard TWIN 6-Inch Memory Foam... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJ8HX96?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Since 11 weeks, he consistently sleeps through the night with zero witching hours. Thank heavens ! Whew those were some rough first weeks. Good luck mama.
Two people do sleep on it. And it is 12 inches. https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Gel-Infused-Green-Memory-Mattress/dp/B01NH0XWNU
It's this one; (I really hope that works; I'm a newb to posting, although I've lurked for years... heh)
and for the small stuff
I hated. HATED. my sleep number mattress. I had an "expanded queen" which is the same as a queen size, but six inches wider, with two air bladders. the two air bladders were tiny, and provided no support for a man my size (6'5"). The mattress felt wonderful for a few months, until the outer shell broke down and the only support was the air bladder.
Two separate air bladders means no cuddling - any variation in firmness (which is inevitable) will result in an uncomfortable ridge in the middle of the bed. If you have sex in or near that ridge, you will stretch the shell, and create a gaping chasm of sorrow in the middle of the bed.
I suspect that a single bladder mattress would be acceptable, but for the price and durability (roughly 18-24 months) it is not worth it.
I currently rock one of these these, which costs 1/10th the price, and has already outlasted my sleep number in terms of comfort.
I am on month 12 with this mattress, I don't expect it to last much more than five years. At $100 a year for pillow like comfort, I am very, very happy.
Getting proper sleep is vital during your rest periods for you muscles to rebuild. Don't have loads of cash? Then buy one of these bad boys and be done with it. That's the mattress I sleep on and I can vouch for the ridiculously good value. Once you go memory foam you won't go back. These are basically the same exact thing as tempurpedic but super cheap.
You can also get them from Amazon in 12 inch and 10 inch heights. I have the 12 inch and highly recommend it -- it's $430 right now for the queen. The only issue is you really want a topper for summer if you are a warm sleeper as it really insulates you. It is great during the winter.

I put it on top of an inexpensive (and maybe not frugal as not very durable in terms of finish) Ikea Malm frame:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39849855/
And what I think is the key part -- the best support slats they have:

Having Costco deliver does sound very nice though. I had to haul mine up three flights of stairs and it was a workout.

I haven't actually tried it but I have heard super good reviews about the green tea mattress on Amazon

The artist who paid way too much for way too little.
​
I just bought my first mattress with my girlfriend for $250 shipped from Amazon.
​
Let me tell you, sleeping on this mattress is like sleeping on a cloud.

For storing beads still in bags, and smaller finished projects I use something like: https://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-ClearView-Storage-Drawer-Organizer/dp/B001KN12PI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1519230842&sr=8-5&keywords=plastic+storage+drawers
For actual loose beads, i still use the large plastic trays you get in the sets. I find them pretty useful and rearranged them so they're easier to work with, which took a little while, but now they're nice palettes.
I use this for right now.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KN12PI/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_7IiqDb6SEM09A
Top drawer for accessories (blaster effects, symbiote attachments, etc)
2nd for only weapons (guns. Lots of guns, swords, etc)
3rd for heads, hands and head accessories (ex: starlord headphones or jubilee sunglasses, etc)
Until I need bigger for more accessories I get.
I use a few different things to house my goods. I have two small, three and five-drawered plastic stackers like these that I have on a shelf in my bathroom. Stuff I cycle through often tends to go in there, like primers and mascara. I also have a small three-drawer canvas cart that looks similar to this one where I throw larger items like palettes/blushes/whoknowswhatelse. Then on my desk (where I tend to do my make up) I have a small basket that everything I use daily gets thrown into if I need to use my desk for school. I have my brushes in a small round brush organizer and eyeliners/lipliners/brow brushes tend to go in there as well.
And then in my bedroom and strewn about my house are random Ipsy bags and Glossybox boxes with make up that I keep meaning to try but ultimately forget about.
Sometimes Novaform is also on Amazon. I'm not sure how the price compares to Costco.
my guess is this Queen with a dust cover.
They aren't. We just moved to a new house and bought this one from amazon for $450. So far it's been great, and is very comfortable.
I agree with downsizing the bed - it definitely dominates your long skinny room. We actually replaced a newish expensive posturpedic with this reasonably priced mattress and couldn't be happier. You don't need a boxspring.

You can also get wallpaper to mimic that feature wall:

If I were you, I'd splurge on lighting (task light for reading, mood lighting, etc) and getting a nice dock and speaker set up for your phone / music. Be sure to include artwork that is important to you, and bedding that you love.
get a cheap memory foam mattress on amazon.
like this.
or this
they are surprisingly comfortable and are easily transportable. i used one for a year in college.
The reason they have reviews on Amazon is so you don't have to feel like you're taking that much of a chance.

is $280 and has 4.5/5 stars with 702 reviews. I think it's safe to say that it's a pretty good mattress.
If you can scrape together a little more money between you guys I have first hand experience with this mattress, and can confirm that its a solid mattress choice.
I'm sleeping on this and it's AMAZING for the price!!

These bed frames by Zinus are great. You just have to unfold it and put the corner braces in place. No tools. Took me less than 10 minutes to do it myself. I have the 18" one and keep large Rubbermade totes under it. There's more storage under my bed than in my closet.

I got something like this for my bed. It's just simple metal, no springs to wear out or anything.
https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B006MIUM20/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522872640&sr=8-3&keywords=box+spring+replacement&dpID=51%252BpY4TUgIL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Does anyone have any recommendations for bed frames or box springs? I definitely need to get something, but in terms of appearance I'm not sure which would be better. In terms of keeping things (relatively) cheap and simple I'm thinking of getting this. [Edit: The twin size one of course]
Same here, I recommend them to people all the time.
Their Smart Base alone is worth it and save a good amount of money of the decades that they'll last. Just not having to purchase or deal with a box spring.
So maybe the quality can vary or some people get duds, but we have this zinus frame and we have loved it. It’s been esp great since we are renters that move occasionally, often in older homes where the stairs can limit what goes up them. We’ve never had squeaking. Put a bed skirt on it and storage tubs for out of season clothes and extra bedding.
We were tight on funds then and still are. I imagine someday we will upgrade to something prettier, but maybe not until we have our permanent home. I’ve thought about finding a headboard I liked to add to it. For now it’s been pretty practical.
I bought this thing as a frame for my memory foam mattress, and it supports me(300lbs) and the mattress just fine, I totally recommend it as a frame for anyone who's looking. I can throw myself on it and it doesn't even budge.
Now I don't feel weird about getting a high frame for my bed.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006MIUM20/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1453582976&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=bed+frame&dpPl=1&dpID=51VMwhfluNL&ref=plSrch
Just wanna chime in here- Amazon sells wireframe boxspring/bedframe combos that significantly reduce the hiding spot for bedbugs.
Here's the link(sorry, on mobile): http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006MIUM20/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1451736403&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=boxspring&dpPl=1&dpID=51VMwhfluNL&ref=plSrch
I recommend these because when I used mattress covers for my boxspring, the abrasion between it and my bedframe caused rips and tears that rendered them useless. These puppies are a great (and cheap) alternative.
I have one. I was extremely skeptical because I'm really picky about mattresses, but my partner had heard good things, and we needed one, so we got one. We've had it for about 2 months.
A large part of the reason I'm picky is that my body is very curvy (wide hips, big ass, small waist), so I need a mattress that is squishy enough to accommodate that and yet somehow also supportive. I am normally a stomach sleeper and/or roll around all night trying to get comfortable, but I find that I mostly fall asleep and wake up on my back now. That's pretty amazing in itself.
Overall, I would recommend it. They have a good return/refund policy. They offer a free squishy addon pad if after a month or so you still feel like it's not soft enough. I have also read that showroom perception of mattresses generally doesn't have any correlation with longterm satisfaction. Basically, I can vouch for the fact that the Casper probably won't hurt you, and it will last longer than a spring mattress at an equivalent price.
For me, it's not the kind of mattress that I associate with "luxury". I don't sink into it like I'm laying on a cloud. But that's not good for your back anyway. It's more that it's just consistently supportive. I don't wake up in pain. And, best of all, I didn't have to go to a showroom and lay on a bunch of mattresses and get hassled/hustled by a salesperson gunning for a commission. We ordered it online while we were moving and it was delivered directly to the new place. I lay on it and it doesn't hurt me. So it checks all the boxes for me.
[Edit] Btw, we have it on one of these basic wire bed frames. Many reviewers also have a Casper and they say it works fine. So I don't think it matters that much what you put it on.
Bed tent.
https://www.amazon.com/Privacy-Pop-Bed-Tent-Twin/dp/B006XBJ3UI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536114229&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bed+tent+twin&psc=1
You get what you pay for, and you spend a third of your life sleeping, so a bed is worth investing in.
That said, would you be willing to consider alternative styles of beds that can be put away during the day, like a rolling futon mattress or a foam pad similar to the one that the sofabed you linked uses? If you prefer a firmer bed, a futon like the one in the first link will serve you well. My SO and I sleep on the queen-size one and it works very well for us, although we both like very firm beds. It's pretty easy to roll up and move when needed.
You might want to consider a Japanese futon, which you can easily transport and even fold/roll up and put away during the day. J-Life seems to be a popular brand and they have a good variety of products so you can get a feel for what's available, but they sell far cheaper on Amazon and the quality difference is supposedly minimal. Here is one on Amazon for about $150 after shipping that is the size you want: Queen Size Traditional Japanese Floor Mattress. I just got the smaller size of that one and find it firm but very comfortable.
I have the same type and it's great link
I'm pretty big so we got the extra sturdy, can hold like +1000 lbs bed. It's great, no complaints. Hasn't broke and doesn't make a lot noise.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJ8HWBU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_6PDKBb1C4ZM4A :)
Yep, download the roadtrippers app... you can put in your destination and filter to specific things on your way. Camping/RV is one of them. Check out this mattress if you're considering this.
To start things off from other threads/videos I’ve seen:
The trunk seems to fit a twin size mattress. One user recommended this. With a twin, two adults should comfortably fit. You could probably uncomfortably fit 3 people (spooning).
Camper Mode: AC drains less battery than heaters. Seat warmers also drain less battery than heaters. Overnight heating in freezing climate seems to drains ~3-4%/hr or ~2.4kw/hr according to this video, but YMMV.
Make sure to lock the vehicle via the Screen and turn off the alarm while you are sleeping in the car or your movement might cause it to beep throughout the night. Also turning off sentry mode is good if you want to conserve more battery as well. Got the above advice along with other helpful tips from this video.
If you want something even more portable, this is what I use, it's very very comfy. https://www.amazon.com/Milliard-Tri-fold-Mattress-Removable-Non-Slip/dp/B00DJ8HX96/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1
I use this fold-able bed frame: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IPVWG2/ref=twister_B001IPWV7Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
really great for a portability as I swapped living spaces recently, lift-able for one person, one fold to fold it up.
And then I combo it with an affordable foam mattress from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Memory-Green-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00Q7EPPDA/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1493900674&sr=1-4&keywords=mattress&th=1
but you could find some roll-up mattress/futon like you said.
they are only
$200.00
https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Memory-Green-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00Q7EPSHI
I got mine off Amazon. It's memory foam so it gets shipped to you rolled up in a box. You unroll it and let it air for a day, where it gets bigger and more firm.
I had a full size in college and when I moved I got a king size. 2 years later and it's really comfortable.

Let him keep the mattress and buy a new one. I bought this a few months ago. Cheap, fast shipping and the best sleep I've ever gotten... And it's new!
My husband and I got this one for our Airbnb: https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Memory-Green-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00Q7EPSHI
We get many compliments on how comfy it is. Can't speak for lifespan, but it's been used for about 2.5 years, is still doing great, and is a reasonable price.

Taking out a loan at the same time that you bought a house isn't the best idea. Things are going to pop up later and if you need emergency cash to fix them later then get the loan then. Don't frontload the debt
I bought this:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Waiting for delivery, but I've read good things about it and at that price, I can't find anything queen size that cheap. Delivery is free, it's compressed into a box.
Definitely not judging you for buying used shit, but have you seen this?
Best mattress I've owned for just $250.
Well I bought [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) around 1 and a half years ago. I love it. It's not the most expensive mattress in the world but I really like it. My ex gf always raved about it. I have it on 2 box springs side by side on a metal frame.
You take it out of the package and give it time to expand and within 10 minutes you will be like 'wow' and within 3 hours you will be like 'how the hell did that come out of that box?'.
Depends on your definitions of "cheap" and "decent". The price for a queen mattress can run anywhere from like $300 to $8000... so words like cheap/decent are going to be pretty relative. www.sleeplikethedead.com calls anything under $700 for a queen a low-price mattress. (Midrange is $700-1800.)
With that in mind and free delivery being important, you could consider one of the very highly rated foam mattresses from Amazon. Here's a link to Tuft & Needle's mattress -- but just scroll down to the "Compare to Similar Items Section" and you should see the specs and reviews for Sleep Innovations and Brentwood Home as well.
I'm no expert, but I feel like one of these 3 mattresses could be the most "decent" in the $500-600 range.
If you are looking cheaper (but not smaller--because of course a full/double would save you money over the queen size)... there should be options locally. We bought a spring mattress from Pate's Mattress Outlet (4500 Centennial Drive--Might be closed now?) about 6 years ago for about $350. (We did drive it home ourselves, though.)
It was good enough for us (an only moderately overweight couple), but after only about 4 years a couple springs had sprung and were poking through the top edges of the mattress--probably from us sitting on the edge of the bed.
I got this tuft and needle mattress and i've been really happy with it.
Yeah, memory foam pillows are just kinda like a sponge for sweat for me.
I've seen brands talk about copper or graphite foam that supposedly helps to pull heat away from the body.
PerformaSleep
Bear
Tuft & Needle
None of those specifically say latex, though I saw that the Leesa brand uses latex and people in the reviews are like "OMG ITS SO FREAKING HOT", so I dunno.
We bought one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QBZ265U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
No issues so far.
Yes, the one I have absolutely is. I was using a more traditional coil spring with a pillow top(?) before, we bought it at the Brick Clearance when that was still a thing on Douglas, about 12 years ago.
Whether because the springs were wearing out or just the style of mattress, I couldn't sleep on my side without my back feeling strained. This new one is easily an 8 out of 10 for firmness, I was expecting to sink into it but I don't, and even sitting on the edge it doesn't compress more than 3 or 4 inches.
I used Amazon and bought a 12" thick memory foam mattress. I paid $289 for the Queen size 18 months ago. They vacuum compress it for shipping so it's not terribly unwieldy to carry into the house.
[We ordered one of these and it has been great.] (http://www.amazon.com/Tuft-Needle-TN23Q-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00QBZ265U)
I've really enjoyed my Tuft & Needle mattress. It's kept its shape (no sagging in the middle or anything) and is very comfortable for me. It's around $600 before tax for a queen size. Link:

If you're looking for good shoes, try Allen Edmonds, Red Wing, Thursday Boots, RM Williams, and /r/goodyearwelt in general. Of course, comfy tennis shoes are great too and there's a reason old people who stopped "giving a fuck" wear Reebok and New Balance.
For beds, try a lot of the new foam beds that have come out recently. TempurPedic has been overcharging people for too long. This bed will drop down to ~$350 every so often, and it's a great mattress. I also have a $1000 Loom and Leaf mattress which is basically a Tempur Pedic clone but I prefer the cheaper mattress because it's a bit firmer. Tempur Pedics are way too soft in my opinion, and they give me back problems.
One other thing this post fails to mention is exercise. It's hard to think of a better investment than 30 minutes of exercise a day.
Okay so this probably sounds too good to be true but I decided to try a "mattress-in-a-box" thing too and my budget was a tad lower (by like 600 haha I'm a student) BUT I Think I've found the hidden-gem of mattress brands: Zinus. I got mine from amazon, and if you have prime shipping is free.
This is the one I have:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012H0JTMA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
Would give it 7/10 on the 0-10 Firmness scale (which is my personal preference), maybe 5/10 on that memory-foam sinking in feeling, and its held up super well, and only ~$250.
Total satisfaction out of 10 - I'd give it 9/10
Here are some nicer ones:

Also - if you don't already have Honey - it is the best app/add-on for coupon codes.. like for real I'm not a rep for them haha, just crazy good deals. It automatically tries a bunch overtime you're checking-out online. Link to that is: joinhoney.com/ref/bk7a4o if you wanna check it out!
I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI which is ~$280.
I also bought this frame: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NHWGGWE ~$200.
I would recommend both.
You could absolutely slap it on top of a home made frame. The biggest thing is to have enough support underneath to prevent sagging.
Have had one of these for over a year and love it.
Delivered free from Amazon
Yeah, I did some research on the different densities. I was mainly trying to decide between this mattress with 4" of 4 lb density and [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-SureTemp-Mattress-Warranty/dp/B003CT37L0/ref=pd_sbs_hg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=10252NKCFKSG0ZTPDHYJ) listed on here last week with 2.5" of 3 lb density memory foam. I was concerned that the other one would not have enough memory foam to feel comfortable and that the 3 lb density might wear out more quickly.
One of the top reviews for this mattress was by a 200 lb woman and she seems to love it, so I'm hoping it will work out for me. I weigh about 215, by the way.
I own this one, and it's fantastic. It also has a 20(!) year warranty. No issues with heat...I wouldn't believe anyone who makes that claim. And I, too, am a hot sleeper, and the worst thing in the world to me is to not be able to sleep because I'm all sweaty. I have not had that problem with this mattress.
We have this brand and the bed seems no more warm to lay on than a traditional mattress.

Buy a memory foam mattress. They're stupid cheap.
Lucid - $250
Signature Sleep - $280
Sleep Innovations - $450
I had never slept on a memory foam in my life, bought this one and I can't recommend it enough. Also don't just listen to me, the Amazon reviews tell the same story.
Seconding Fred's Beds, I got mine from there and it was good.
Alternatively, a friend got this mattress (http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-SureTemp-Mattress-Warranty/dp/B003CT37L0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367893010&sr=8-1&keywords=foam+mattress) from amazon and she really likes it. I think it's weird to buy a mattress before trying it, but her argument was 5 minutes of sitting on a mattress in the store vs hundreds of amazon reviews may give the amazon reviews an advantage over a quick judgement in a store. So maybe try online too?
I had a mattress shipped using Amazon Prime. It came in a box that would easily fit in a standard sedan.
Of course once you opened the box it inflated nearly instantly to the actual size.

$349.99 + free shipping with prime. Had mine since April 14, 2014
Downsides :
takes like 2 days to decompress once you get it - and i see you're in a time pinch.
You absolutely should buy a protector at the same time, and those are hard to get right ... some of my ... 'sleepovers' complain this protector is too hot - probably because it is waterproof - which might be a good add for op. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035E63WM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
upsides:
pretty much everything else, comfort, price, quality, durability. Spring mattresses are good when new new (1-2 yrs) especially for husky (250lbs) young men who like to ..... jump ... on the bed, this thing is just as good since the first day my evil bitch ex girlfriend unboxed it while I was still at school. The video on the unboxing looked pretty awesome..... but i will never know if it was actually that awesome.
Don't even question it. Great price, great mattress, free shipping, no need to go to a store.
http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Sleep-Contour-Inch-Mattress/dp/B004LQ1RJ2
I don't think it's a foam topper. It's a regular spring mattress and it's pretty darn comfy!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004LQ1RJ2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1405562772&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40
Cheap = free futon on Craigslist. Just take the mattress.
For a new, cheap, actual bed - Amazon
Foam you will just sink through to the wood. Futon mattresses are better but they are a bit tough. For a proper nights sleep get a coil mattress.
Inflatables are great for 1 or 2 nights. Very comfortable. Get the ones that are twice as high for maximum comfort.
I highly recommend against getting this one. It has only a one year warranty and by the time the warranty expired it was sinking all over the place and the floor was more comfortable.
Back in 2014 I needed a really cheap bed really quick so I ordered this bed and mattress topper from Amazon Prime.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AR5X92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. I now have it in one of my guest rooms and most of my family and friends prefer to sleep in the room with that bed! So I would highly recommend those products.
I've had this mattress for 4 months now. I love it. Technically, it's a futon mattress, but it's still got individually wrapped springs and it's really thick. I think it's only classified as one because it lacks the wire frame. Also, when it's delivered it comes in a vacuum sealed back, all wrapped up and stuffed into a duffel bag
It's so great. It's the Signature Sleep 8-inch Queen Contour Mattress, for $249.99, Amazon Prime eligible. We love our mattress so much. We get so sad when we don't get to sleep in it.
This is the one that I just bought a couple months ago. I use a plastic drawer set next to it to contain all the makeup though.
I bought mine in black, and it was shipped by amazon at the time, so it didn't have the ridiculous shipping cost, but it looks like the other two colors are still shipped by amazon.
If you're looking for something with more storage in it by default, this is one that I was also considering, that I've also seen some of the ladies on this sub with.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds! Great song. <3
I got mine in black from Amazon and I looooooove it! It comes with a cute little stool as well.
Edit: Forgot the link. oops!
Here's where I got mine. It's a few dollars more, but if you have Amazon Prime - free shipping! Woooo!

Zinus Shawn 14 Inch SmartBase Mattress Foundation / Platform Bed Frame / Box Spring Replacement / Quiet Noise-Free / Maximum Under-bed Storage, Full
&#x200B;
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006MISZOC/ref=twister_B07QFSTRKH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I highly, highly recommend this mattress foundation. I move pretty frequently and have zero storage space and this is a great solution for both of those problems.
I used to have a really heavy and large wooden futon frame, which was pretty squeaky and unnecessarily difficult to set up but I ended up buying this model off Craigslist and I'm never going back. It's pretty easy to set up, very sturdy, and it makes no noise. And the best part is that the frame itself is pretty light and compact once you break it down so it makes moving it from place to place way easier.
I think you could rotate the bed. Put the head of the bed at the window and push it to one of the walls. Either 1. push it to the left wall and put the desk between the end of the bed and the dresser along the wall, or 2. push it to the right wall and put the desk at the foot of the bed, like this.
If you can, I would also get a taller bed frame so you can store more underneath it. I just got this one. The quality is great and there is SO MUCH storage underneath. There's also cheaper, but still well reviewed options, like this one.
Get a metal frame that sits up high. Put stuff you own under it, in a closet (clothes in a hanging dresser) or on an end table. Throw out everything else.
If you don't want a small room to feel cluttered you have to have less shit :D

These are really solid memory foam mattresses and affordable. Free shipping with Amazon Prime.
No, I don't have stock in Amazon: but I bought one of these 2 months ago (King w/ 18 inch frame) and am very happy with both.
I'd recommend Amazon for both the bed and the mattress. This is what I have.

I know I'm just adding on more money now. But you may or may not need a new bed frame. This is the one https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B006MIUM20
It's high enough off the ground you can buy some bins from Walmart and stuff them full and toss them under the bed. And can fit all kinds of other stuff under the bed. It's nice.
Well, I've already picked one out. I don't know why I keep looking at it, though...
We just bought a queen sized memory foam mattress from Costco. Instead of a box spring/frame combo, we got this
platform Both were super easy to set up and have been incredibly comfortable.
Go to mattress firm and try out a Tulo Firm, it is pretty firm, comes in at 700 right now.
Target has a wide variety of sheets, you can get a king set for less than 55 typically (https://www.target.com/s/threshold+king+sheets)
If you are a Costco member or know someone I think they have some sheet sets that are less when on sale.
Mattress Protector: Luna: https://www.amazon.com/Luna-Hypoallergenic-Waterproof-Mattress-Protector/dp/B002AQPUW0/
Or Coop - home goods mattress protector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UKHSNYI/
Both are good choices, $50, luna is a cotton jersey feel, coop is a more smooth and ever so slightly thicker feel.

Another zinus more traditional slatted option: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07199DPJM 95
Comes out to around 875-900 before tax. Leaves enough for a comforter or blanket. I am sure there are cheaper options for everything I've posted, but those are all products I've tested and at least are familiar with them.
If you want to be adventurous and try a DIY mattress (not very difficult) I can recommend some parts that might work out within your budget too.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MIVR06/
It is this one, but it is folded up in a corner of my house right now so no photo.
actually, i'd try amazon. we got a really amazing mattress, topper, and headboard/bed frame for about $1000 and they delivered right to our door.
if you are looking for something cheaper, this mattress is shockingly comfortable - we have it in our guest room and my VERY picky best friend loved it. you can get a great bed frame for cheap, too, there are a bunch on amazon.
i'm all for shopping local, but easy is also important.
If you weren't in a single I would recommend this because privacy is awesome. But since you are, definitely have stuff to cook with in your dorm room. Find out what is legal to have in your dorm, but you would be amazed at the stuff you can make with a coffee maker.

You should look at exactly what is supporting the bed right now. There should be at least a couple center supports holding up the middle of the bed. If those are missing or broken you just need to figure out how to prop it back up again.
Being there is no boxspring you probably have lots of slats under the mattress and as long as they are not broken or warped beyond repair, beefing up your center support should be sufficient to make thing stable again. Worst case scenario, beef up the center supports and get a couple pieces of 3/4" plywood to put across for support as well. Just make sure it is evenly supported on the sides and center. Or you could go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Mattress-Foundation-Replacement/dp/B00BWC1X3S/ref=sr_1_24?s=home-garden&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1475268999&amp;sr=1-24&amp;keywords=metal+platform+bed and just pull out your existing support system. I wouldn't mess with anything like you posted in your link.
Beyond that its tough to say without actually seeing what is going on under the bed. Your mattress may or may not be ruined, just really depends on how bad it was and how long it was like that. Get your foundation right and go from there.

Not OP, but this is the on I've seen most recommend. There are ones with different heights, but I saw someone suggest getting at least 4-inch thick one for sleeping comfortably. Just make sure to choose the Twin size for Model 3.
Hello! I'm sorry you're sad, but I truly hope to help a little!
So, I really love finding furniture etc, and I can 100% stand behind the foam mattresses sold on amazon. I've slept on one for OVER 10 years, and they're SO cheap and SO comfortable. Zinus is the one but if you really want the premium version, I completely think the extra money worth this
In terms of frames, I have a soft spot in my heart for ikea frames.
If you need a budget mattress that's not crap, this one is absolutely amazing. It's anywhere from $180-350 depending on size. While I can't guarantee it will last super long (like more than five years), I know several people with the exact mattress and they all love it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q7EPPDA/
Thinking about this, if your budget is $200, here's a 12" foam of the same brand you posted for under $200. Really good reviews, I think this would be hard to beat comfort wise:

There of course are also other base options you choose if you need a headboard or what not. I also would recommend a full cover as it has worked great a keeping my mattress spotless, something like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1ZRLLY?ref=emc_b_5_i
ikea has clean & simple beds. Easy to put together.
Amazon has affordable mattresses. i recommend this one.
Funny, i actually bought this mattress because i stayed at an Airbnb that had the mattress on the floor and it was my best night sleep in months, if not a year. Got the model & ordered in the next morning.
We got the Zinus off Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Memory-Green-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00Q7EPSHI/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=foam+mattress&amp;qid=1556737035&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3
It was like $180 for a queen on Black Friday in 2017. At full price it's certainly cheaper than the name brand mattresses. We've only had it for 18 months so I can't say how well it holds up long term but so far it's super comfy. My wife and I both sleep on our backs/stomachs/sides and they all work. It took a while for it to stop smelling chemically but it eventually did
Yeah, that's what I've been leaning towards, or this cheap Zinus one. It feels wrong to spend less on a bed than I've spent on a jacket though.
EDIT: Accidentally included a referral link in there.
If there is pee in the foam part, I don't think you are going to get that clean. That being said, this is similar to what spouse and I use. The one we got (I'll ask for the exact one later) has lasted us 5 years thus far, and we are not dainty people. They come rolled up in a box and have to expand for a day or so. Alternatively, you can use a blow up mattress. A lot of people do that now.
Did your landlord finally do the walkthrough and you are clear for any damages in "your" room?

Check out some of the competition as the mattress industry is incredibly corrupt and there are huge margins some smaller companies are cutting.
You can buy mattresses at thrift/second-hand stores. You can also get decent foam mattresses relatively inexpensively, especially online. Here is a queen size on amazon.ca for $400 with free shipping. and a thinner one for $300.
They also show up on Used Victoria frequently.
In particular, if you watch slickdeals for about a month the 12 inch Queen Sized Zinus Mattress goes on sale quite frequently for $210. Its a great mattress and worth the money (shipped free, prime is 3 day while non-prime is about a week).
The bed I bought is now 189. Its seriously a good bed. We have a platform bed so just the 12 inch or the biggest one is great
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Ikea has great stuff in the slightly higher end stuff. I buy used bc I dont have to put it together and its nice I think. Dark wood too is my theme.
I bought this one about a month ago. Love it so far.
I've been sleeping on a Zinus Memory Foam 12" Mattress for over a year now and it's quite comfortable. Truth be told before this I was sleeping on a very very expensive tempurpedic and I have trouble telling the difference between them.
Investing in a good nights sleep is crucial, sleeping well is very pivotal to keeping a healthy mind and mental state.
I bought my memory foam mattress and bedframe for ~$400 total. I like it just as much, if not more than the $3k at half-price brand name memory foam mattress that I got with my ex from a store.

I just use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-17918004-ClearView-3-Drawer-Organizer/dp/B001KN12PI/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1332389719&amp;sr=1-2
I use a Sterilize drawer until too but not so huge. Unless you have a full boy scouts troop with you, I think it will get crazy to find anything in there.
I use a table top one which I place on the picnic table.
I reserve one drawer for basics like lighter, matches, Ziploc bags, spices, etc.
Inside the other one I put the utensils and in the third one I position my cooking tools.

As for the camping kitchen, here's some good reviews photos of a Coleman brand. It will give you an idea of the way you can use it so you can determine if you want it.

I personally have a big see through plastic tote where I carry my whole camping kitchen.
I have a collapsible sink with a drain which I use to wash them (or carry to a washing station depending of where we are at) and then I leave everything to air dry in there.
In the same plastic tote I place my drawer unit and some kitchen towels, a grilling mitt and a vinyl tablecloth with some holding hooks.
Bear in mind that I can't fit very long cooking tools in the drawer unit but I just use some short ones and the things that are longer like my stainless skewers, still fit in the big tote.
Yeah I do DIY and just filled a big tacklebox.. I would totally get a 3 tier tacklebox but the flavors won't sit upright like you said. I'm sure it's not a big deal but I'm a bit anal about it. I still don't know what to get next.. I'm thinking of some kind of plastic 3-drawer storage type of thing like this - but I would prefer it to be black and lightproof.
We use a small 3 tier drawer container (like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001KN12PI/ref=pd_aw_sims_5?pi=SL500_SS115&amp;simLd=1) I keep them grouped by size. We have an AAHA accreditation this month and keeping them covered and clean and out of the way.
I like this system though we also use old IV lines as ties so we store them there too and we can easily grab the container and have everything you need! We also back stock the XL sizes (I had to order a horse tube for my dane once lol)
I like to use the cheap [plastic drawers] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KN12PI/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_bFi63_c_x_2_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-2&amp;pf_rd_r=0EQZNCBM8AMG5D8D9E89&amp;pf_rd_r=0EQZNCBM8AMG5D8D9E89&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=9daeb83e-0797-4d08-8490-b0bffcce1d03&amp;pf_rd_p=9daeb83e-0797-4d08-8490-b0bffcce1d03&amp;pf_rd_i=3744431) that you can find pretty much anywhere. They're not real classy looking but they're super functional and come in lots of different sizes for storing different materials. Craft stores also carry storage solutions that work well for organizing small things like beads and hooks.
I'd like to say that my materials are sorted by both type and color, but that would be a lie. They are really just sorted by type.
Here is a [short video tour] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBVuJ7sTcMk) of a pretty reputable fly shop owner's bench. I've found this style of setup to be both comfortable and productive.
Just to add to warwatch who had most of what was on my list:
Some of this depends on how much cooking you are planning to do, but it's all pretty essential in my experience.
I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CT37JM/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_ST1_dp_1
I think for the price, it is great.
I bought this mattress for $420, and it is BY FAR the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on. I used to have incredible back pain by the time I went to bed from work, but not anymore. I dare say, that this may just be too comfortable for a bed. I got the California King as well, turned it sideways, and now I have a bed for Me, my wife, baby, and various other animals.
I got this mattress and am extremely happy with it. I'd recommend a waterproof mattress cover, as sweat and other moisture can mess up the foam. I built myself a frame for about $50 in wood and screws.
Costco is a good option. If you want to try something new I got this memory foam off amazon and am so happy with it! (this is the other popular brand they carry). I work as a server and having this mattress helps my back a lot. Check out the reviews for memory foam on amazon and see if it's right for you. They're cheaper than the cheapest of a regular mattress and in my opinion better than any other mattress I've slept on. Highly recommended.
If you really want to go cheap though, find one on craigslist. If you end up going to a store $400-$500 for a regular mattress isn't a bad price. Might have to go to a few stores and haggle to find this price.
haha I was expecting that question: The power went out from the storms that rolled through DC a few weeks ago and my room is in the basement so my roommates pretty much moved down there to stay cool while I was at the beach.
http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-10-inch-Memory-Mattress/dp/B003CT37JM/ref=pd_sim_hg_1
That is the one I got and I love it, same issues other people said like heat retention and not much bounce back for sexy times, but if you sleep on your side it is amazingly comfortable.
I bought this Sleep Innovations 10-Inch SureTemp Memory Foam Mattress for less than $400. One of the BEST purchases I've made in a while.
Sorry! This one. It has gone up.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CT37JM/ref=pe_175190_21431760_C1_cs_sce_dp_1
I have had this model from Amazon since February 2012. I think memory foam in general is too soon to tell if it's going to be BIFL, but it is no different than the day we bought it. We bought another one (the Lucid by LinenSpa line) last Summer for a guest bed.
They are quite firm, but in the end I think it's probably better for my back/hips. I don't think it's particularly life changing, but then I did replace the old (very expensive pillowtop) mattress because of constant hip pain which this does not cause.
If I were going to buy my own bed again, I'd splurge for a thicker mattress with a thicker layer of actual memory foam (you'll see the one I linked is 3" memory foam and 7" regular foam). But I'd still buy this type from Amazon.

The price paid is not just cost of manufacture. Many other expenses go into it. But look at this foam mattress on Amazon.Com. Has over 1000 reviews at over 4.5 stars and is less than half the cost of what is available at a store:

And Amazon has a return policy!

Amazon has mattresses for really cheap
http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-SureTemp-Mattress-Warranty/dp/B003CT37L0/ref=lp_2457301011_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1370582595&amp;sr=1-1
Ikea Hemnes bed frame with 12" Sleep Innovations memory foam mattress, a couple memory foam pillows and a couple standard fluffy pillows. Simple solid colored comforter. High thread-count sheets. Oh, and king sized, so myself and another can both go full starfish comfortably in the night.
All told I spent somewhere around 1200-1500 USD, and everything has lasted me (very comfortably) for four years. Simple, classy enough without being overpriced, insanely comfy, rave reviews from all ladies who have graced it.
I really love the Tempur-pedic knockoff I got on Amazon. Plus, a 20-year warranty and eligible for Prime Shipping. I coupled this with an Instant Foundation and put it in a new king-size frame that I bought at a discount furniture store.
I'm quite happy with my purchase. The mattres and foundation, combined, were $775 (for a King set) when I bought it. I had the money available, but opened up an Amazon Credit Card at the time for an extra 10% off (or maybe it was $50? It was two years ago, tough to remember) and also bought Prime at the same time.
Haha that's crazy, I feel sorry for you!
The Sleep Innovations 12" Shiloh mattress is a fantastic mattress for side sleepers, see here: https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-Shiloh-12-inch-Mattress/dp/B003CT37L0

Looks like it has gone up $50 since I bought one.
Not that one exactly, but I got a similar one in a queen size last week, and it comes in California King. Can't even imagine seeing that unfold.
I ordered this one recently. I am pleased with it. I was sleeping on a futon before with a bent frame, so anything would be an upgrade I guess.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CT37L0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 I bought this 5 years ago and love it... was 500 something then, looks like only 300 now.
I ended up getting a cheap but sturdy metal frame, a headboard-in-a-box, a cheap bed board (had a box frame originally, but it made the bed too high) and the big expenditure, a memory foam mattress, all purchased from Amazon.com. Had the mattress for about 18 months and it's been awesome! So much better than my old mattress. It's a bit more expensive now, was $429 when I got it originally: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CT37L0
Not the same one, but I bought this 6 years ago:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CT37L0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Feels the same (wonderful) now as it did then. Half the price of anything memory-foam in a mattress store. 1/5 to 1/10 the price of tempur-pedic.
Ooooohh I have a recommendation! I love this one I've literally bought it twice. The package is really heavy though so make sure it's delivered into your apt. I had to lug it like twenty feet and it was difficult.

Price has gone up over the past couple of years, but the queen is still under $400.
Thank you. You are kind! I will be happy to share with you some of the philosophers I have enjoyed. What I have enjoyed even more is listening to smart people critique these philosophers. They have a way of breaking down the difficult concepts in understandable ways. Go on YouTube and listen to a guy named Rick Roderick. He has 3 lecture series which introduce you to many of the most famous philosophers. I especially enjoy his critique of Nietzsche, Freud, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Habermas, and Hegel. There is a podcast called the Partially Examined Life which is full of really, really great philosophical discussions. One of my favorites is their critique of the movie "No Country For Old Men".
The bed I bought is off of Amazon, strangely, and it is awesome! I cannot recommend it will be as comfortable to you as it is to me. I am a very large framed dude and this one worked wonders for me.
https://www.amazon.com/Signature-Sleep-Independently-CertiPUR-US-Certified/dp/B004LQ1RJ2/ref=sr_1_1/155-2136574-5011300?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485834529&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=bed+mattress
It is available in many sizes, and very, very affordable. Again, I cannot promise you a good night sleep on it, but it is perfect for me.
Finally, for the science fiction reading I would suggest starting with the best SciFi book ever in my opinion: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It is just too good to put into words.
Enjoy your time on this Earth. Relax, friend. You will find your place. I promise.

This "Signature Sleeper" has a ridiculous amount of good reviews on Amazon. I am considering getting it. Anyone have experience with it?
Signature-Sleep-Contour-Inch-Mattress
ur welcome cuz it comes folded for us poor people thanks
In lieu of buying a second hand mattress (ew.), if you have Amazon Prime [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Sleep-Contour-Inch-Mattress/dp/B004LQ1RJ2/ref=sr_1_1?s=furniture&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1452793388&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=mattress) is a pretty darn good mattress for the price. We have a king, and I have honestly had the best sleep of my life on it.
How cheap? You can buy a mattress on Amazon for $189. They're pretty great and comfortable! Plus, they're super fun to open because they come in a tube and then expand magically.
Everyone deserves to sleep on a bed, and if cost is an objection at all, this mattress is only $200 and they'll ship it to you
Haven't seen anybody suggest it so I will chime in and say Amazon. We have purchased our memory foam mattresses from them and couldn't be happier. This is a queen 12 inch for $300.00
http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Sleep-CertiPUR-US-Certified-Available/dp/B005A4OO80/ref=sr_1_4?s=furniture&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1457725024&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=memory+foam+mattress
Here's a 12-inch queen memory foam mattress with very positive reviews for $299, including shipping. That's $900 cheaper than your mattress, and you may have paid sales tax on yours too.
Everyone forgets Amazon for mattresses:
http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Sleep-12-Inch-Memory-Mattress/dp/B005A4OO80/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422481295&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=memory+foam+mattress
It makes delivery a cinch too. The memory foam mattresses can be vacuum shrunk to an incredibly small size for shipping.
Mattress from Amazon. Trust me. I would never buy a used mattress and mattress stores are in business to rip you off. I have done lots of research. This memory foam mattress from amazon is the best I have ever had. 4000+ 4.5-5 star reviews. My dad bought the 8 inch and loves it also. That one only has 6000 reviews! lol
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005A4OO80/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Bought
Zinusthis Signature Sleep one one many years back. I'll never buy anything else. So cheap (relative) and so comfortable. Hasn't shown any signs of breaking down. Similar priced spring mattresses will wear down. I've noticed in the past my side forms a hole since I am heavier than the wife. She sort of gets sucked into it. Mattress doesn't last because of this, and they just aren't conforming like memory foam.You can't cheap out if you go spring, and if you go memory foam the off brands are fine but just look at reviews and I would recommend the 10 or 12 inch thick versions.
edit: I was mistaken. Bought a Signature Sleep brand and a Zinus bedframe.
If you like memory foam mattress, definitely check out Amazon. I've put them on all my guest rooms and currently use one in my work apartment and they're great and cheap!
like this
I got this mattress from Amazon when it was on sale for about $185, but its current price is definitely not a bad deal. Read the reviews (ALSO FREE SHIPPING TO YOUR DOOR so that you don't have to go down to a store and pay for them to bring the damn thing to you). I like it a lot.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005A4OP8Y/ref=twister_B004LQ1RLK
This gets good reviews and is only $200.

Maybe you can freeze all of your clothing like one guy said and just throw away your mattress and get another one for $199 on Amazon.
I don't know if bedbugs can be solved by that or if it's more persistent.
I swear by this mattress, super cheap super comfy:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005A4OP8Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-x4gDbEWPJG0E
I've seriously never found a "normal" priced mattress that I liked.
I have purchased two of these mattresses a year ago, and I'm happy with them. They are medium firmness and don't smell like chemicals or anything. Amazon delivers them to your door. One of them has a foam topper on it but they are comfortable without.
Not only is memory foam hot, but the porous structure is a magnet for dust, mold spores, trapping sweat, bacteria, and if you have pets, dander and mites.
I bought it in black and I love it so far.
I'm not OP, but I got mine from Amazon and it had the best price that I found anywhere:

For my makeup table I have a 3 way mirror that both sides move, that way i can see all sides (behind when I do my hair). This is mine- http://www.amazon.com/Bobkona-Croix-Collection-Vanity-Stool/dp/B005CWHY7I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1421524863&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=vanity Mine dosent have lighting, but if it did I would want normal light bulbs and not the yellow off color that the lights that save on electricity use. That way your lighting is true to the outside lights.
I wish mine had more storage. Id suggest maybe doing like the picture and having some on top that hold the stuff you use all the time. Mine has drawers that I keep everything else in. To clean it, because mine gets dusty and left over makeup (powder), I use cleaning wipes. Hope this helps!
Not sure if this will work for you but someone posted the Amazon link for it here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CWHY7I/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_p5yGwbSTH52CE
No opinion on the Ikea mattresses, and I'm not sure if this option will work for you, but I slept on this mattress for over two years and never had a bad nights sleep nor notice anything go bad. I prefer harder beds, but that one was still super comfortable (everyone loved it).
you WILL sink into this one, but still be very supported. I never felt like the mattress got overly warm, but I was in SF at the time so that probably limited how hot it could get. You don't need a foundation with that bed, so you could always get one of these.
After I moved I gave it to a friend and he thoroughly enjoys it.

The full is even on sale for $55. I did break my toe on it by just walking but if you're less of an airhead than me you won't have an issue. It folds up and is so easy to move and assemble. Figured I'd throw it out there.

That said, I personally recommend one that looks like this. Bed might slide around a bit but you can use it with a memory foam mattress (which you should get, they're very affordable) without a boxspring.

For less than $272, you'd have a pretty good setup for an apartment.
So, bed frames meant to attach a headboard, have 2 flat brackets to attach a headboard. Since you have baseboard heat, you want any flammable materials 8 inches away from the heating unit. This also allows proper airflow so it can actually heat the room.
You can get a frame and headboard separately. You just need a frame with the bracket to mount a headboard. Zinus Compack 9-Leg Support Bed Frame, for Box Spring & Mattress Set, Full https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EYN1NT6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_D5i8Ab1TDEM7F

I'd suggest you determine budget and style choice then look around.
Can I ask you a question about foundations and bed frames ? You seem very knowledgable about the subject. What are you supposed to put a 9" natural latex mattress on ? Do you need a metal bed frame + a foundation ? Is [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MISZOC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?ie=UTF8&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;th=1) type of frame good for a latex mattress ?
i use this bed frame and this futon mattress.
I got one of these used for dirt cheap but I would have zero issue paying full price, it's been excellent. Great storage underneath and no squeaking or movement.
Not everybody wants a wood frame. I use a metal platform under a standard mattress. It's lightweight and holds up to 700 pounds, and moves quickly and easily, it folds for shipping and arrived in one box weighing about 35 to 40 pounds. I got mine for under $100. I got rid of my box springs, and later will replace the mattress with memory foam mattress. What I like about this platform is there is 12" legs and this is more than enough storage area under the bed. I put it together with a screwdriver.

Yea there's no box spring or headboard anymore. I just got this metal frame
When you want to spend a few dollars to fix this comprehensively, I highly recommend this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006MIUM20/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yqv9Bb2VBVG21
It's super solid, sets up and breaks down easily. Really great frame. Also lets you have more under bed storage and lets you get rid of your box spring

I have the queen T&N and I like it just fine. It starts out very firm, but will soften up after a few months. I also have a latex topper that I got off Amazon that softens up the feel of the top.
I got this plain box for it for now because it was cheap. Eventually I'll probably upgrade to something made of wood so it looks a bit nicer.

Thanks for the reply! I don’t even have a box spring. I only have a metal bed frame that looks like this
Are they just hiding in my mattress?

Their video made me laugh. I love what they show you can store under it. :) Hehe
My newest ideas to build my own bed frame by creating a vinyl coated aircraft cable mesh. I can't find anyone else online who has tried it, so it makes me more excited to do it. If it works I'll have to post pictures to Pinterest.
My goal is a lightweight trundle bed frame on casters.
My friends and I once hacked a queen box spring up, but never quite got around to splitting it properly. It worked for the few months we lived in the apartment and we picked up a new box spring when we moved out. My fiance and I recently ran into a similar issue and found these. Not a DIY solution, but a lot less of a headache and not exorbitantly expensive. In my experience, splitting a box spring is not worth it, but I am kind of bad at these things.
You absolutely do not need the Casper foundation specifically for the Casper mattress, the foundations are all pretty similar. These look marked up a lot, even compared to traditional retail.
I don't recommend the Zinus mattresses, but their foundations / frames / storage frames are pretty good & inexpensive, and I've heard good nothing but things about them:
https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B006MIUM20/
https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Platform-Mattress-Foundation-Headboard/dp/B01B8GQAOO/
https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Standing-Mattress-Foundation-Platform/dp/B07D7J77VL/
Check Casper's latest terms to see what restrictions (if any) they have on the mattress return policy (visible damage and not using a foundation typically invalidates the warranty / return policy of a few bed in a box offerings). They might specify slats or something like that.
The foundation you choose will affect the feel of the mattress to some extent, but not a lot. The main thing you can do with the foundation to make the whole experience a bit firmer (if you end up wanting that) is to build or buy a bunkie board (which is basically just a sheet of plywood between the mattress and the foundation).
And if it's not obvious, huge gaps in the slats are going to cause some wear and tear on the mattress. For example, a 4"-6" gap is fine (12" is not).
I have this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006MIUM20/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 with an 8 inch memory foam mattress.
For the frame issue, you can look into this Zinus Queen frame. I have the same one - it ends up being two individual "half-queen" platforms held together with screws. Each one would definitely hold on its own, so it might solve your problem. No idea about the sheets issue though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MIUM20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I own this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MIUM20/ - no tools to disassemble, one person can carry it down stairs, the grid has some spring, and WD40 eliminates creaking. idk if they make your size.
Cool: depends on the style. If your room is minimalist, people will pay attention to the frame because they're bored... but, usually, people won't notice the frame unless everything else also failed. The bottom of your mattress is not a natural focal point.
Metal bed frame.
Good condition and free. All you have to do is come pick it up. It's already dismantled and can fit in a small car.
Edit: claimed. Thanks!
My wife and I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006MIUM20 it folds very easily and was so much easier than bringing up a huge bed frame up 4 flights of stairs. And it's very quiet.
Good afternoon,
I’m trying to build a king sized futon bed, using a metal frame (like this: Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation (King) - Perfect for Spring, Latex, and Memory Foam Mattresses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006MIVR06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_v6nTCbPCCC9B4 ) I’m not sure how to attach the hinges to make it work right, along with how/where to attach the back bar to hold it the couch position.
Thanks!
I bought a $110 metal frame from Amazon for my new serta memory foam mattress. It hasn't arrived yet, but it has thousands of great reviews, so I figure it is a pretty good bet. No foundation is required with this type of frame. Link
I got this mattress and this frame along with this mattress protector. I've been happy so far and I am sleeping better than before. I have lower back issues and need good support. This is a firm mattress and it takes a couple minutes for you to sink in, especially the first month. After the first month or so it does not take as long for the foam to shape to you.
Ill just give you links.
This one is firmer than the other one, and while it is noticeable, it isn't any less comfortable. I can fall asleep on my friends bed just like mine.
this is the one I have, which is squishier, but some of that is also our different frame.
One is cheaper than the other, and has a 10 year warranty instead of 25. They are both nice, I would just make the call based on preference of soft and firm. They come in a box, and you have to leave them out for at least a day so the foam can uncompress. Neither of us had any issue with it smelling. It has a smell because its new, but disappears in a day or two.
stay away from the handy living wood slat frame, the wood doesn't last, especially if you are um....persistent in the bedroom. My friend bought this one, and we both agree it is better.
both have good clearance, so you can store stuff under the bed. If you don't have the 100ish extra, you can always save and just sit the mattress on the ground until you can afford it.
Yep, went with these:

I'm dealing with a similar situation atm and I fall back on meditation and self hypnosis, because for some reason people understand that a person doing those things is to be left in peace, and it doesn't seem to make anyone insecure. It gives me the sort of battery charge a far longer amount of time alone doing nothing in particular would. I'm not sure how you could live like that long term though, tbh.
Depending on the issue, sometimes there are cheap fixes. We've placed plywood sheets directly under our mattress if it had too much "give". We've also just given up on the mattress concept before and gotten much cheaper shikibuton-style pads directly on a floor or plywood sheet over the slats that took some initial getting used to but felt much better than a bad mattress after the initial adjustment.
I'm in small room myself, trying to make the best use of space.
Consider a Japanese futon. I've been using one for the last five months and I love it. It is...maximally firm. Personally I like the "primal sleeping" aspect, and it helps a bit with my sciatica.
I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Rolling-Bed-JFM-36080-Black-60inch-Mattresses/dp/B009EEMH3Q
Lately I've been considering a bit more padding.. possibly going with a legit tatami mat, otherwise a firm 1" foam pad.
The futon folds up quickly and fits in the closet. Plenty of room for a narrow bench sofa to use during the day.
This is it.
There are more reviews on the smaller one here.
I have this particular trifold, I use it as extra padding for my shikibuton and they're both great. I'm a side sleeper, my husband a back sleeper. It's a great combo, very portable, and I even slept on this combo while pregnant. Very comfortable, highly recommend.
If you'd be willing to spend a bit more on this one it's got a lot more support.
As an additional aside to amend this:
Our IKEA mattress support after eight years of vigorous use (plus I’m a pretty big guy) developed a crack in one of the wooden mattress supports. We really loved the frame and didn’t know what to do. We ended up getting a ZINUS Mattress support that fit perfectly inside our IKEA outer bed frame. It is extremely sturdy, unbelievably easy to assemble, holds up to 1100 pounds and wasn’t terribly expensive. Obviously, every frame/mattress size has its own corresponding ZINUS product we simply adore the king-size one that we got. The link below will indicate what we bought. It does not require a Bunkie board or plywood to support our mattress.

I've considered buying a Malm bed frame but supporting it with a SmartBase metal frame (apparently you can remove the internal hardware of the Malm).
Has anyone done similar?
This doesn't look sturdy at all.
The thin slats and the hollow steel frame won't survive long, especially with heavier people. Also, while the slats are interchangeable, the frame can't be repaired if it bends.
The reviews are not very flattering either, mostly from people complaining that you can't have sex on it or it breaks.
Edit: The same brand has the Zinus 14 Inch Elite SmartBase Mattress Foundation, for Big & Tall, Extra Strong Support, Platform Bed Frame which looks to be pretty durable. Have to buy a mattress separately though.
I'd get something with vertical and horizontal support. We have this with out Ultimate Hybrid:

When we purchased the bed we were told this was more than adequate for the foundation. We don't have anything in between the mattress and the frame.

I've done something similar with this (twin folding mattress): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DJ8HWBU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
What I suggest is getting a more narrow mattress, so you can keep more of your things in the same place (instead of on top of the mattress). You could also get by with only moving one of the seats forward (with something narrow). This particular one is a bit long, but you can jam it in there. You'll definitely want to look at blacking out the windows as well (maybe use black posterboard.
It can get a bit annoying moving everything around daily converting from camper to car, so smaller stuff is probably better.
I got this tri-fold mattress. It fits perfectly both laid out and folded up in the trunk. Easy to put the seats down and fold it out.
Folding mattress and storage case - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DJ8HWBU/ is quite nice.

Flip it if it's double sided. If not, and funds are really an issue cover the area with a generous amount of duct tape and buy a cheap mattress topper. Walmart had some for under 20$.
If you have the ability to save up 250 or so you can buy a new mattress that will really improve your sleep quality. Avoid mattress firm. Here is an example from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Memory-Green-Mattress-Full/dp/B00Q7EPPDA/ref=sxin_3_ac_m_pm?keywords=mattress+full&amp;pd_rd_i=B00Q7EPPDA&amp;pd_rd_r=f7b90d24-0de0-435d-907e-e2e7c1dde4a8&amp;pd_rd_w=F9KmO&amp;pd_rd_wg=pyJHg&amp;pf_rd_p=52ddbacc-f25e-4731-abd8-005c535b500a&amp;pf_rd_r=B441Q8GC5RTVAS1V2K7C&amp;qid=1562524113&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=mattress+full
I've had this one for one year and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm a side sleeper so I got the 12" one.
I get plenty of compliments from family, friends, and... friends on it.
$189 for queen
Bought it a bit over a year ago. Not perfect but superior to previous mattresses.
Where did you buy them? I've been looking at the Zinus Ironline/Suzanne and the green tea mattress, and together they're about $600.
What's your budget?
On the lower end I've personally heard good reviews from people about the Zinus Green Tea Mattress and the Casper Sleep Essentials mattress, which both can be shipped for <$500. Zinus in particular has Amazon Prime shipping to minimize time spent sleeping on the floor.
For a little bit more I've also heard that the Purple mattresses are super comfy, despite their really stupid, pandering advertising campaigns.

Ya, on one hand I can see that, but people are unlikely to specifically seek out some Chinese made cheap $4 widget to order directly from an unknown manufacturer who might consider selling directly to consumers, but I'd imagine larger purchases like a mattress from reputable, recognized companies, people would not be as hesitant. Seems like it's bound to go that direction as more people are buying things like this for these type of prices relative to storebought mattresses: https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Memory-Green-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00Q7EPSHI/ref=zg_bs_3732981_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=WPH1AKGRVPDVEQ7R1V7Z
How many people are going to be going to mattress firm to spend 3-5x the price when awareness catches up? The big mattress makers are surely going to have to adjust over time as they lose sales to people buying direct and I'd imagine a lot of these mattress stores will too.
I got this mattress for my guest bedroom. It is the first foam mattress I have bought and I was impressed. It's actually on the firm side, which I did not expect.
How do more expensive mattresses like this compare to e.g. sub-$200 mattresses that you'd get from companies like Zinus (even sub-$100, depending on the sale)? All my mattresses have been in that price range and last me many years no problem, and we put them through a lot of use (as a bigger, married guy). They seem as comfy if not often much comfier than e.g. mattresses you find in fancy hotels or airbnbs, but I've never consistently slept on $500+ mattresses like the ones you linked (but Casper in particular annoys me, since for a time it seemingly advertised on a bunch of podcasts I listen to).
(of course, there are mattresses that cost several thousands of dollars which may or may not be substantially different from those mentioned)
For 8ish days I'd also just consider getting a blowup, much easier to get rid of/donate afterwards, or keep for occasional guests. Though as a software dev maybe those temporary costs and inconveniences become pretty trivial.
FTFY:
Zinus 12" Queen Green Tea mattress, middle sagging after 6-8 months (did I get a bad mattress?)
Hello all. I suffer from a chronic sleep issue for over 10 years and also fibromyalgia like body pain and pressure points. Last December after finally being sick of the Sleep Number C2 queen I've had for a number of years, I extensively researched online and bought a Zinus 12" Green Tea Mattress, Queen (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI). At first, I had no complaints and it. However, within 6 months I definitely noticed that it's not kept it's firmness in the center middle and quickly sags in when I lay down for awhile.
I'm the exact opposite of what you'd call a heavy set person (Male 36, 5'11' and 74.8 kilograms) and am using the base of the old C2. If I move to the sides I can feel the firmness/support of what it originally was. I've even tried readded the 3" thick-4 pound foam topper I had bought for the Sleep Number (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AR5X92) to see if that would fix it, but it only pronounces it more.
I've been just dealing with it for the past few months but it's only getting worse I have to believe this isn't normal. I want to start a warranty claim with Zinus but I just cringe at having to go through all of this.
I'm just wondering, was I just unlucky and get a bad pick of a mattress? Had anyone else experienced this? Any and all comments & suggestions would be appreciated!

Cool, I think I'll go with one of those then. Quick question, do you know anything about [these] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q7EPSHI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486707143&amp;sr=8-3&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=memory+foam+mattress&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51aRdkcr8yL&amp;ref=plSrch)? I'm assuming they're a hit and a miss because most of the reviews are good but then there's quite a few 1 stars mixed in the bunch.
My wife and I bought this mattress and this bedframe in January and we love it. You can be in a nice bed for a few hundred bucks.
You can't afford anything fancy that you think you need, and a bed is not an emergency.
After purchasing this mattress, I'll never own another brand. For a few hundred dollars as long as I get a year out of it MINIMUM it pays for itself compared to the $3,000 in store mattresses. (You can get the non gel infused for $250 compared to $400 but be aware it may be a bit warmer)
Absolute amazing deal on memory foam mattresses. Zinus is super comfy. $220 off.

I didn't actually commit to a brand. I just buy a ~$350 queen sized ~10 inch thick one and it lasts until I don't like the color and get a new one.
I just checked my amazon history, and the last two I bought were Zinus, and Lucid, though I am sure those are no name brands.
My husband and I bought this mattress on Amazon for $229 over a year ago. We absolutely love it. We just ordered a 2nd one for the guest room.
I bought a queen memory foam mattress on amazon for $229 and it's amazing.
Just bought this and this after two different friends recommended it. Maybe you could fit it into your budget? We actually had the same plan (wait until we buy a house in two years) but life is too short to sleep in an uncomfortable/too small bed.

I got Tuft & Needle. No problems with heat or sex. I had a small issue (my fault) where I nicked the outside cover while unpacking it. I made a suggestion to them in their survey and they refunded me an unsolicited $100. Great service.
The bed starts off a bit firm but settles. Not in the way a bed says with springs, just got more comfortable. A year later and I still love it. No issues at all. Get a good waterproof cover (that doesn't make noise) for any new mattress, especially foam. You don't want any spills (or other fluids) soaking into foam.

Linus seems to be coming up a LOT. And for $320 on prime for a king, I'd give it a go. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q7EPV8O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_iZFJAb574PG48
Lucid also. I'm 100% happy with it.
I recommend not even going to any of those places. I bought a queen-sized memory foam mattress on Amazon a year or two ago for about $300 shipped. Here's a link to the best reviewed mattress on Amazon. You can narrow it down from there.
Edit: Here's the bed I bought.
Queen sized matress on amazon for only $200.

And as for the quality I can say myself that I got one and friggin love it.
I just got a queen Zinus "Green Tea" memory foam bed. Currently $289 shipped on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI/
It is pretty firm. I actually ordered a 3" gel topper because of the firmness (you sleep on top rather than sinking into it), but that proved to be too squishy (the topper leaves an imprint of your body when you roll). I have a 2" topper on another bed & imo that is the right level of squish vs. firmness: (the bed is firm to the point where my side wasn't sinking in & was kind of being compressed instead, like when you lay on thin carpet when watching TV or something)

Also, I picked up their awesome 18" tall frame:
https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B017YETH8K/
TONS of storage space underneath, easy to setup (2 pieces that screw together & fold in half, lightweight & only requires one person to assemble...literally takes more time to unbox it than put it together), no noise in use, plus with the 12" Zinus bed, it's at a good height to walk up to & fall into bed. You will need a grip sheet underneath, otherwise the bed will slide off pretty easily:

I also recommend getting a waterproof sheet (goes underneath the regular sheets), as any spills will sink directly into the foam mattress & never, ever come out:

I got these Mellanni sheets - they are thin, but feel nice:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NLNDU00
Slightly better than the Amazon Basics sheets I have on another bed. I have a plastic bin underneath the bed for storing a spare set of sheets & waterproof sheet (both are washer/dryer-safe). Total comes up to under $600 shipped for a 12" memory foam bed, 2" gel topper, 18" metal bed frame, a non-skid pad for the frame, two sets of sheets, and two waterproof mattress sheets. I was going to get a Casper or Leesa, but those were like $800 just for the bed...I got all that for $200 less, still a pretty hefty investment, but a decent deal. Other than that, you just need some pillows & a duvet or blanket on the top.
The mattress comes vacuum-sealed in a box, so you just undo it from the packaging & let it air out for a day or two to fully decompress. The frame comes in a large but thin box (two frames folded in half with some assembly hardware). I didn't have to mooch a truck off a friend or go to a mattress store or anything...ordered it all off Amazon Prime, showed up in a couple days, put it all together by myself in minutes. Easy peasy. Would definitely order another one!

With a memory foam topper from Costco, best sleep I ever had. So comfortable.
