(Part 2) Best bedroom furniture according to redditors

Before you buy another piece of hardware please do yourself a favor:

I have the queen size version of this bed, but I'm sure the twin size is just as good, just smaller. It's inexpensive and very comfortable. You don't need a box spring or anything, the frame you already have will work.

If you can't afford it, then you need to prioritize your spending. You spend 1/3 of your life asleep, don't spend it sleeping on that disgusting thing.

When I was in college I bought a $125 mattress from amazon that came rolled in a box.

I used that thing for six years. Yep - even after I graduated college and had a well paying job. It served me so well.

If you want the amazon link I can track it down for you

Edit: here’s the link.

Unfortunately it looks like they increased pricing but still cheap for a mattress

Zinus Upholstered Square Stitched Platform Bed with Wooden Slats, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W4DCTK0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CyErxbJM3YT87

This one has been awesome. Put a memory foam on top of it and it wont make a single noise. Ultimate stealth fucking..

Zinus Platform bed from Amazon

I got mine off Amazon, it was the same as OP's

Here's the frame, just bought it myself last week. https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Ironline-Platform-Headboard-Optional/dp/B075FGY7G2/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=Zinus+bed+frame&qid=1559326610&s=gateway&sr=8-4

Another Zinus mattress recommendation. I got this one and it’s only $277 on Amazon right now! I bought it in October 2017 & it’s still great. Prior to that I’d always buy $600+ Sealy and Sertas. Never again! We live in good times for mattresses.

They don't even cost that much.

37 dollars new

Not to mention that you can find a used one for even less.

Really this is pretty safely on the /r/Cheap side of things

I got an amazing 12 inch one from Amazon!

Edit: it's this one

Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch / Premium / Cloud-like Mattress, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012H0K93I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6xsDAb9N5SP8B

I also got this pillow and it's absolutely perfect.

Hypoallergenic Pillow – ADJUSTABLE THICKNESS Bamboo Shredded Memory Foam Pillow - Kool-Flow Micro-Vented Bamboo Cover, Dust Mite Resistant & Machine Washable - Premium Quality - MADE IN USA - QUEEN https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V909F4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QvsDAbYV08JDW

> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L9VANK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i have it in a queen, im 230 pounds and its shockingly comfortable. ive had it for about a year and a half.

Opened a twin size for my daughter. She was 3 and standing relatively close and as you can guess the thing sprung out and flung her across the room. 9/10 would do it again.

Edit: the one I had was compressed and rolled up. So it did snap out as soon as the plastic was split.

It was this one Signature Sleep Contour 8 Inch Reversible Independently Encased Coil Mattress with CertiPUR-US certified foam, Full https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004LQ1RKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ckBIAb01VMAEB

Stealth/private camping vehicle ideas:

Tri-fold mattress, blackout curtain, 35% or state legal tint, Rain Guard and ShadeSox (bug/privacy screen), and optional hyper-insulated custom window covers. Avoid covering the driver and front passenger side windows, not as stealthy. Only use a windshield sun shield in the summer.

Scout out light industrial street parking and large suburban apartment complexes in safe areas.

I did a lot of research last year before buying a memory foam mattress. Price was very important to me. I ended up with one by DreamFoam: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0092UCN0Y

It's 8 inches of base foam and 5 inches of memory foam. I am a heavy guy and for the almost 1 year I have had this mattress it has held up well. It does tend to sag a tad on my side of the bed, but then I switched sides and that side returned to normal.

I highly recommend checking out the site http://themattressunderground.com before buying. I found this mattress thanks to them.

Edit: forgot to mention, the only thing I wish I had done differently is I wish I had gotten the king size instead of the queen. With memory foam, you lose a little bit of width of the bed simply because the edges are not rigid like a coil mattress.

A little more than the things others have suggested, but this is one of the most comfortable things I’ve ever slept on. It’s seriously amazingly comfy, plus folds up very easily.

A few thoughts:

• If you're buying your bedroom furniture from a store with pushy salespeople, you are probably going to be paying too much.
  
  
• The mattress and boxspring won't just be stacked on the floor, right? Metal bedframes cost under $50 and last years. I inherited mine from my parents, and it's still in perfect condition after 30+ years.
  
  
• You don't need a headboard or footboard to have a nice, classy bed. Mine looks kind of like this (when it's made).
  
  
• If you still want to buy durable, real-wood furniture that will last you through several future moves, Craigslist is your friend. So are secondhand stores, the classifieds section of your local newspaper, and the community bulletin board at the grocery store. You can get heirloom-quality furniture for a fraction of the store prices. A lot of what's out there is outdated or will need to be refinished eventually, but there's plenty to pick from.
  
  
  Edit: Autocorrect "corrected" a word. Fixed now!

I have some first-hand experience sleeping on something similar.


I wanted a bed that looks/functions like OP's (held together by friction and gravity, easy to take apart and move), but lack the woodworking skills to make one like I wanted.

----

Saw an ad on craigslist where the guy was selling a dresser, but had a frame that looked like the one I wanted in his room. Sent him an e-mail asking where he got it. Said he made it. Woo Hoo! Asked if he would be willing to make another, and what my cost would be. He quoted me $150 in lumber, $150 in labor, would have to use screws. I said, "yup!"

Went to get it and it looked okay. Wish he'd picked a bit better lumber (couple-a-flaws), but okay. It has 2x6s as the side support beams, 4x4s as the legs, five 2x4 supports running along the inside as weight supports, and a couple pieces of plywood on top for the mattress to rest on. (I live in a dry/arid area: our mattresses don't get moldy on a flat surface.) All this stuff is just screwed together. King-sized bed.

He said: "You're not going to be doing circus acts on it, are you?" Well, duh. That's what beds are for, right? But anyway, it's all good. It was the aesthetic I was looking for, and I thought it'd be sturdy enough.
____

So I get it home and screw it together. Okay. I sleep on it. Okay. I ask some friends to try it out. Too wobbly, they say. Bad design. So I trotted over to home depot and got eight, 4" metal L brackets to screw each side support to each leg on each side. Much sturdier. Okay.

Slept on for about 3 years. Okay! Love the aesthetic. Had it specially made 18" clearance from floor. Love the height.

Getting off one morning, one of the side pieces snaps in half. There was a knot in that piece of wood that gave way.

Boooo!

-------------------------

So, in seeing where it broke, I can see a fix. First, use great lumber. But also: the five 2x4s that are the weight support are just screwed into the 2x6s. What would've worked hella better is to do that if needed, but also make a rail below for them to rest on that's attached to the 2x6. Exponentially increases the strength of the 2x6 and better distributes the weight along it.

----------------------------

It broke a few months ago. It's on my list of stuff to do: shore-up bed. But in the meanwhile, I got this metal frame off amazon... it was SUPER easy to unfold and slide under, and gives the poor, sagging frame the support to get by until I can fix it.

I hate the aesthetics of the new frame, but it was a great price and SO easy to set up, so light-weight to move. Glad I got it, as it will store well (if I ever get around to fixing my bedframe) and is super easy to move/drag out... great port-a-bed.


tldr: My experience with a similar-but-different bed design is that it's not really sturdy enough.

We do separate bedrooms too just so both of us get max sleep. We spend the evening together, hanging out, cuddling, sexing, then we each go sleep in separate spaces bc his hours are different from mine and he sleeps very loudly and steals blankets anyway 😂

We've been eyeing this one!

Millard Tri Folding Mattress - $80
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W67PJ4M

Bought off a recommendation in this sub. I originally went with the REI self inflating sleeping pad and was tossing and turning at night. The Millard tri fold has been great so far.

I'd recommend at least considering 'Signature Sleep': I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LQ1RKQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My reasoning was that it was so cheap compared to everything else, I was willing to take a chance on it.

I've recently realized that reviews on amazon tend to be 100% bullshit. I've bought too many products on amazon that were rated 5 stars that were just horrible. And there are so many examples of companies that take the same amazon ASIN and reassign it to a completely different product so you're actually looking at reviews for something else. And companies that combine different products on one page as "color variations" so high-value crap products can be boosted by numerous sales of low-cost but actually decent products of a totally different category.

Anyway, just don't trust amazon star ratings. They are worthless. That's my actual advice to answer your actual question. Whatever you do, remember that amazon star ratings are just ridiculous.

Lately, I've been using https://www.fakespot.com to try to verifiy what percentage of the reviews might be honest. And I tend to just not buy anything from any company that has a bad rating, and I'll tolerate a kind of bad star rating so long as it looks like the company isn't using dishonest reviews. And I feel like I've been ending up with higher quality stuff since then.

With the signaturee sleep mattress I said I bought, I see now that they have 4499 reviews on that item that amazon removed, presumably for being dishonest. So maybe don't buy from them? If I didn't have previous experience with them, I'd definitely see that number and say "no way am I buying anything from them"

But I am really happy with my mattress, and have absolutely zero complaints about it. Other people might have higher standards or different expectations than me.


I'm wondering if you did buy a mattress online and didn't like it, if you didn't want to deal with the hassle of return shipping, could you sell it on craigslist for near the original price? Tell people that you just don't like it, and maybe there is somebody else like you out there who thinks "I'd like to buy that, but I wish I could try it out in person first." And in that situation, for them, buying a days-old one from you in person would be a better value than buying a brand new one online, even at the same price.

I guess my recommendation: Take a gamble, buy online. If you don't like it, try to sell it on craigslist. If nobody on craigslist buys it from you, just return it within whatever return period the manufacturer gave you.

I was going to buy one of the more expensive branded foam mattresses, but my back went out and we needed a new bed now. We bought a cheap queen size this one on Amazon for less than $300. It's been almost 5 years and the bed is still wonderful.

My back just started acting up again, but it appears to be a pinched nerve this time. Pretty sure the bed isn't at fault.

1,000 sq feet is a lot! Could you use the kitchen sink for baby baths? Or get a little infant tub, or even an oversized tupperware (or something from the container store). But really, you could use an infant tub and just fill it with water from the sink.

We had a 925 sq foot one-bedroom apartment when our son was born. When he was first born we just had a boppy lounger that he slept in on the floor next to our bed. We started with the Halo bassinet but he HATED it and would only sleep in the lounger. Literally. We tried everything. Only the f*cking boppy lounger. It made me so paranoid bc it said it wasn't safe for infant sleep but he loved it and did fine in it.

Anyways, when he got older (maybe at around 6 weeks) we moved him to a pack n play that had a raised mattress thing (not a bassinet, it's just a thing that clips on that lifts the mattress piece up). And then, we basically moved the pack n play depending on where we wanted to be in the moment. So, when we put him down to sleep, if we wanted to stay up in our bedroom and watch a movie, we'd set him up in the living room/main room. But if we wanted to be in the living room and cook a late dinner or something, we put him in our bedroom. That way, we weren't disturbing his sleep or naps.

We got this when he got a bit older and started collecting more toys https://www.amazon.com/Sauder-Bookcase-Footboard-White-Finish/dp/B00B2QU5YW/ref=sr_1_3 We still have it now (2.5 years later) and it's great. Holds a ton of books and toys, and is easy for him to access.

We had a little play gym thing that was cute and collapsable, though it stayed out for the most part because it was the best place to put him down for entertainment for a while.

We got this as a gift (expensive AF) but I LOVE it because the drawers are super deep, and now that he's too big to be changed on top of it, we're just using it as a dresser and it fits a ton of clothes, diapers, wipes, blankets, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Babyletto-3-Drawer-Changer-Removable-Changing/dp/B007CRJHW6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it

Once he started moving around, our whole apartment became his room. We basically permanently shut the door to our bedroom and baby proofed the entire rest of the apartment so he could crawl around. At that point there really wasn't any point in trying to save space lol.

Honestly, it's going to be fine :) when they're first born you end up wanting them so close all of the time anyways. And, for the first 9+ months they don't really move a lot or take up a ton of space. It's just once they start moving around that it becomes slightly more challenging.

Get your mattress online! There is no reason to spend a lot of money on one, there are really comfortable high quality mattresses available for less than $500. I have this one in a full and have been really happy with it.

We got it on Amazon

It weighs what you'd expect a $200 bed frame to weigh, but looks really nice, haha.

https://amzn.to/2wIDRNd is the exact one. We previously used something like this: https://amzn.to/2NLuZgW . BIG upgrade with the new one.

Not exactly a tatami but I have a fold-able foam mattress. It can roll up but you need to kind of manhandle it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W67PH2Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Check out Mattress Lot. They have some good deals, they're local, and will deliver on a bike. They'll even give you a discount if you ride a bike or take public transit there. http://www.mattresslot.com/mattress_lot/Welcome.html

And I use this which does the job pretty well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCZ0YGG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought a memory foam mattress/bed frame on Amazon for $400 and it is SOOO COMFY!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00474X5DO/

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KQ5KQG/

I read you already bought yours, but I want to put in my thoughts anyways in case anybody else is looking at these or you change your mind. I live with a buddy of mine for the time being and he bought one of those memory foam beds for his daughter (4). The bed is ok, obviously you can't expect the world from a <500 bed but its a good bed for what it is. I slept on it for about 3-5 months can't remember and I don't remember having any issues.

I decided I wanted my own bed, and so I went to Costco and looked around at their selection they had in the back aisles on the wall. There were about 15 beds they had in bags lying longways like you'd see clothes in a closet. Well, I found a gel top foam mattress for about $500 I think it was. It is by far the best bed I've ever slept on, and my friend has some kind of expensive foam mattress over $1000 and I like it better than his. The brand is Sleep Innovations, which I think is the same type of one as those beds.

Here is a link Gel Mattress

It's got the gel on top then the egg crate looking thing and THEN the regular bed. OMG, when I brought it home after buying some of those $80 Jennifer Adams sheet sets in queen size, and the AMAZING BLANKETS for $15 ( I bought) I was so giddy and squirreling around in my bed my friend thought there was something wrong with me. It was literally comfort overload.

The bed came in a box, all rolled up and you just flop it out of the box onto the ground and it sucks up air until it "inflates" I guess. It smells for a day or so then it's great. I love my bed. I bought a frame to go under it so I have extra storage and foam mattresses like to sweat which causes mildew under the bed (found that out the hard way with another foam mattress).

I also bought the foam pillows from costco as well, I think it was 2 pillows for $20 or $10 or something I can't remember. I LOVE COSTCO!!!!!!!!

So, they look a little like this, which is actually the bed frame we have (coz we wanted something tall enough to slide Rubbermaid totes under), and I can tell you that occasionally one of the metal slats will slide out of the holders, but it’s fixable with a little effort. My parents have this one in their guest room (actually in 2 guest rooms in 2 different states, heh), which is all one piece, but looks slightly different than the ones I’ve noticed lately on the show. I had a wooden slatted futon when I was in college, and yeah, I totally get where you’re coming from. My college bf got a little, ahem, cray once and basically put his knee through a couple of the slats, so I couldn’t imagine them having standard wooden box springs for long. A former friend of mine (who I’ve mentioned in this thread before) was (is) v large (400+lbs) and married someone who is just as large or larger than she is and they had to build a special bed frame for themselves out of 2x4’s, because previous ones had failed them at, uh...inopportune moments, shall we say. She also told me about how they deal with excess skin flaps during sex and sometimes that memory crosses my mind and I wanna die.

A metal bed frame, something like this is just a couple collapsible pieces of metal that fold up really small and will elevate your bed a few inches off the ground. You will need a box spring, or some other platform for the mattress to rest on

Zinus Ultima Comfort Memory Foam 8 Inch Mattress, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006L9VANK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tg38Bb5HKQEBX
I used this personally for 2 years before upgrading to the king size and moving it to the guest room. So far about 50% of guests comment to us about how comfortable the bed is in our reviews.

This mattress is amazing if they ship overseas.

Linenspa 8 Inch Memory Foam and... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IU6RJYA?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

It’s cozy AF, more so than the mattress I have in my room. I got a twin size and it fits me and my dog.

I’ve had guests comment in their reviews about my “expensive” ($200) mattress: Solaray® Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006L9VANK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

We have a bookshelf that has a shelf on top and storage bins on the bottom. I really like it! It's great for storing books on the shelf and dress up clothes in the bin. My only complaint is that our tallest picture books don't quite fit and we have to put them on their sides.

Even though it's pretty inexpensive, I feel like it's a pretty sturdy shelf and it was easy to put together.

article about it

I’ve had no bug issues (since some of the first reviews that pop up warn of that), which is scary but I feel like there has to be other factors. The mattress has thousands and thousand of five Star reviews and fakespot says they’re legitimate reviews. Just check it outside before you cut the plastic off 🤷🏻‍♀️.

we just got a guest bed mattress from Amazon. Queen size, memory foam - $250 including tax. It's not quite as good as our super-fancy mattress (that we overpaid for), but it's way better than an air bed!

We have prime, so it came in about 2 days.

Not related to mattresses, but do you carry your wallet in your back pocket? I did for years and had the worst sciatica for nearly 6 months. Moved the wallet, and things cleared up completely.

​

As for the mattress, I bought This one a year ago, and havent had any problems with it (for reference, I am 6'2" and 365 for the first 8 months -- 295 now and still going down!)

Yep. mattressunderground and sleeplikethedead were my go-to resources for researching mattresses. I bought this about a month ago and have been very happy so far.

Furthermore, if you can find the room and really like comfort (I can't sleep in just a sleeping bag), try this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00W67PJ4M/ . It first snuggly and is supremely comfortable vs the hard plastic floor.

Hey there so this is my room! My main goal currently is not for any frames/things to hang on the wall but focusing on the bed that is to be coming!

Still searching for mattresses, currently like a beauty rest from Macy’s and yes I know about tufts&needle and all those other brands. I have to lay on them myself, prefer spring over memory foam... I sleep firm and will continue to.

What I would like help is on bedding, I’m looking for good comfortable sheets and a thin/quilt for the top. I saw linen but due to paying out of pocket for school I can’t pay $300+ for sheets

I live in Southern California where’s it’s 100+ and gonna be hot for quite some time.

Thanks for the read and appreciate the help!

shipped to your door 4 stars 28 thousand reviews

Saw this one a couple of weeks ago and really liked it: http://www.amazon.com/Tuft-Needle-Handcrafted-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00DRR8G4U/

Excellent reviews, too.

Idk how to break this to you, but you could have gotten a really great one on Amazon for like $400.

http://www.amazon.com/Tuft-Needle-Handcrafted-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00DRR8G4U

I like my Tuft and Needle, think the price has gone up a bit since I got mine though. The reviews are great and I enjoy mine. Seems to be holding up good to and not forming dents.

Just got an outback myself so I spent the last week looking for options. I have a friend that car camps and uses a 4" foam mattress topper so I know that can work. I saw the tri-fold mattress below on sale and it looks like it can compress so I'm giving that a try. I liked it because it seemed easier to stow than a topper you'd have to roll up. If it doesn't end up meeting my needs I'll return it and go with a mattress topper.

Milliard Tri Folding Mattress, with Ultra Soft Removable Cover and Non-Slip Bottom, (Single 75" x 25") Better Than An Air Mattress https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W67PJ4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZgIhAb99C9B9T

Edit: just got the tri-fold delivered. Looks like it'll take up more space if that's an issue for you. The pictures looked like it could compress because it's shipped vacuum packed. You should be able to stack stuff on it no problem but I think a stuff sack is out of the question. Also a little heavy but seems so damn comfy.

Traditional beds have a mattress sitting on top of a box spring (a mattress sized wooden frame with springs in it) which in turn sits on top of a bedframe (typically made of wood or metal).

An alternative to this, is to get a bedframe that has wood or metal planks ("slats") going across the frame. They perform the role of the box-spring while contributing significantly less bulk. In North America, these are most popular at Ikea--it's a sort of European approach. Here's a low slatted frame on Amazon. Here's IKEA's slatted bed base category--in IKEA most of their frames can use a slatted base.

If you search the /r/minimalism for sleeping stuff you'll see that a lot of the more dedicated minimal people here use Japanese-style sleeping futons, relatively thin memory foam mattresses, and people here with actual bed-frames often forego a box spring or use a slatted base.

Good luck.

For a bit more you could go with this and this. We have both in queen size and we love them. Even ended up getting our kid the twin size ones.

>Is there from type of frame I can ensemble in my room?

I had a bed that sat on something like this at one point in time. It was pretty nice, but then again, it also had a box spring. So, YMMV.

I also bought one of those memory foam mattress toppers recently and it's pretty much the best thing ever.

Amazon, much cheaper (like half the price or less of other bed-in-a-box stores) and have great reviews.

Got mine on sale and it's great! https://www.amazon.ca/Zinus-Memory-Green-Mattress-Queen/dp/B00Q7EPFT4?th=1

Amazon has memory foam mattresses that are $229, but they're the thinner ones and not everyone likes memory foam.

Maybe it isn't full sized furniture, maybe it's just a matress on the floor like this one from amazon. Although the length would be tough with angles and stuff.

Probably this one. Though I'd probably recommend this one for $50 more.

Here you go but it went up in price. My only issue with the mattress is the sides are too soft and if u roll too close the edge you'll fall off.

I got this memory foam mattress for my student athlete kiddo who plays a contact sport and is always sore. It has been a winner so far. We got it for $299 in a queen in August but they are currently sold out. Maybe contact the seller and see if they will be getting any more in.

Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch / Premium / Cloud-like Mattress, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012H0K93I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_X41-Bb6HQT40E

Amazon! We've put together a lot of IKEA furniture in our years together, and this bed was a freaking breeze. It's super sturdy and has been such a great steal! *fwiw-- our mattress is from the same company and it's awesome too!

Need to know your budget and size (twin, full, queen, king).

Do you really just want a frame, like this or actual furniture?

If you want furniture, style is an important factor.

http://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Upholstered-Square-Stitched-Platform/dp/B00W4DCTK0/ref=sr_1_4?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1451962086&sr=1-4&keywords=upholstered+bed

Ah word, if it's not a daily sleeper than that makes more sense haha.

I'd probably pick Zinus in that case, something like this

A 4 feels like a truck rumbling by if you are 20-30 miles away. You could have experienced quite a few and not known it. Up close to the epicenter, it can be a wavy feeling that can transform to giant rocking sensations, and you should seek cover.

We've been too lucky in Los Angeles. Too damn lucky. All of the little ones have been wavy and over with very quickly.

I specifically bought a bed frame and left part of it empty underneath with a gallon of water, food bars, stuff for my dog, some shoes, a set of clothes and a other things should I get trapped under there. Here it is if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B017YETH8K/

I did:) Also, I got [this puppy] (http://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Center-Support-Rollers-Locking/dp/B002PCS0O4/ref=sr_1_30?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1370030379&sr=1-30)

I don't feel comfortable naming any brands other than the one I purchased. I got a Sleep Innovations. Plenty of reviews and answered questions on the Amazon page for you to look through. This model specifically - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9JIGOS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I were doing a 5 day build, I'd skip insulation. I was in a van this summer that I had insulated with polyiso, and when it was cold outside, it was cold inside the van, and when it was hot outside, it was super hot inside the van. I never got my electrical hooked up either, so I'd skip that too. Bought a 50,000 mAh battery bank. Never really used it. I did use a long 12v extension with a splitter to charge my phone, run a fan, etc.

I'd probably put down subfloor, that's cheapish and a one day project.

For the bed, I bought this frame for $60 and this memory foam mattress, but you could probably get a cheaper twin mattress. The nice thing about the bed frame is that you can store plenty of stuff underneath it in storage totes.

Sleepy's is pretty expensive. I recommend a cheap memory foam mattress. I got this mattress for my little girl and it's really comfortable.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G02ESA/

IKEA is a great place to get the actual bed.

Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPFT4 $259.00

Have a solid 100% latex mattress and I swear the guest bedroom twin is more comfortable. I like more firm though. You can get more firm latex but price goes up.

Here's the discounted latex info:

https://www.sleepez.com/

This is for the twin on amazon, they have different sizes. Look for certipure if you do go memory foam. (Its way different than the old tempurpedic days.)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G02ESA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

We used this bed FJELLSE from from Ikea:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59009824/

and these slats:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00160215/

Honestly if I had to do it over I'd buy a larger mattress on Amazon and the Ikea frame and slats. Just too comfy. The latex is dreamy but you have to trust you get the right firmness or you are stuck sleeping in a hammock like experience. That and the fact it weighs a ton. Good luck mattress shopping is fun!

I have had my mattress on the floor for years and I love it. Sleeping on height is weird for me at this point. My partner sleeps on the carpeted floor because his back gives him issues. Point being, sleeping on the floor isn't necessarily bad. This is the mattress I have http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DRR8G4U/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421632456&sr=8-1&dpPl=1&dpID=215u5v96igL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

The thing about beds is, its a matter is what works for you. Try a few out and take your time because most are non returnable. The one I have is one of the few beds that are returnable if it doesn't work for you.

This what I use. It's the perfect size for my Prius v. I actually use two to make it extra comfy, but I'm sure many will be fine with just one. It being foldable might be a plus for you.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00W67PJ4M/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1503253600&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=cot+mattress&dpPl=1&dpID=31eU0grwt9L&ref=plSrch

I did not get a memory foam mattress when we did this, I just used a spring one I had on hand. We did later use a memory foam one off Amazon we used with the same setup: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G5SIRG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This bed frame from Zinus is under $100 and makes a great base for a dungeon bed. There's 18" of space underneath, and I have mine up on 4" risers.

There are many other similar models on amazon - even some that adjust (head and feet go up and down) for not a lot of extra money, if that's something you're interested in.

Second buying one on Amazon! Didn't think I liked memory foam either but I stand corrected. We got this one, basically a knockoff Casper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q7EPFT4?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title&th=1 .. pretty sure mattress stores are exclusively for money laundering.

I have this mattress from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/DreamFoam-Mattress-Ultimate-Dreams-13-Inch/dp/B0092UCN0Y I've had it 5 months so far after I tested TempurPedics at Denver Mattress Company in Draper and you'd never be able to tell the difference (except for the price tag) glorious, glorious memory foam

I bought one of these frame and put it on top of these. And it's an extra thick mattress, to boot.

What slats did you go with? Did you buy something like this instead of slats? https://smile.amazon.com/Best-Price-Mattress-Innovated-Spring/dp/B00HCZ0YGG/ref=sr_1_6?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1465533731&sr=1-6&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A368699011

We bought one of these on Black Friday, love it

Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch / Premium / Cloud-like Mattress, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012H0K93I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_x0XxDbFSZW9N9

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.

Thanks! It's a bookshelf/toy box that I got on Amazon: Sauder Pogo Bookcase/Footboard

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRR8G4U/ref=twister_B00DRR8FR8

Here's a $400 that I've had recommended as well. Also has excellent reviews on Amazon.

I bought this off amazon. And love it. I was in exact same situation as you. I bought one of the frames they recommend on amazon as well. Total $500

Can't beat that for a hand made mattress that was made in the USA.

Tuft & Needle Five Handcrafted Mattress (Queen) by Tuft & Needle http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRR8G4U/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_W0xstb1C1T0BW

I have the 10" Sleep Innovations mattress from amazon. It has been well over a year now and it is amazing. No need to buy a boxspring either, I just built a platform from 2x6 and plywood, put on a bedskirt and for less than $500 had the best mattress I have ever had.

I got the King Size http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-SureTemp-Mattress-Warranty/dp/B00B9JIGOS/ref=pd_sbs_hg_2/183-6557505-7166700

Seriously. I have this exact mattress. It is amazing. Prime eligible.

Things I'm planning on next:

New sheets/bedset. What I would like to do is a burnt orange fitted sheet, gray topsheet, and gret/white duvet cover.

Bedframe: Link

Still havent picked up my desk chair just yet, picked up this desk last night, but my office chair is a nock off Herman Miller from amazon basics

Grey curtains

Orange accented floor rug near entrance to room

Of course, something for the walls. I have a grey/white clock I need to put up and would like to get some artwork sometime soon

This matresse from Amazon has 5 stars rating, cost 400$ USD and has a 30 night sleep trial. Good deal IMO.

Get them shipped from Amazon. I got this one for some family who had fallen on hard times: http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Master-6-Inch-Therapeutic-Mattress/dp/B005G02ESA/

Pretty much all of the foam mattresses on Amazon are highly rated and come shipped with all the air removed. You need to open them, let them grow back to full size and air out a little and they last forever with no issues with the sides losing structural integrity like a regular mattress if you like sitting on the edge. They also require no box spring. You can get a cheap bed frame from Amazon too for the same price as the mattress. all told you can spend $200 bucks for a full bed with frame and mattress.

They are very firm, however. Which I love and they don't wear out in the middle and form that body crater that a lot of normal mattresses do. There are options for different top materials like gel and memory foam and a few with little raised cooling towers that let air circulate under.

I have chronic low back pain. My favorite was an old fashioned water bed with a softer mattress. My wife hated it for a few reasons so we got rid of it.

Now we have a pillowtop mattress with gel in it. "Ultimate Dreams P/T Gel" by Brooklyn Bedding, available on amazon and made in Phoenix. I think it's called DreamFoam Bedding on amazon. If you contact Chuck (like the listings say, he's very helpful).

EDIT: I searched and searched for a good bed and a fair price, these guys were the ones.

Not sure your budget, but this one has great reviews and is only $219

Still not great lighting in my opinion. The carpeted room is the bedroom and the hardwood is the living/dining room.

Edit: Damn I found one I really like, but it's like $150 more than I want to spend. I'm trying to keep it under $200 and it's $325.

Edit2: Here's a few ones I've found today that I like more.

I’m so sorry for the late reply. I didn’t see the question until now.

Ours is this one.. It’s firm but comfy. I love it so much that I wouldn’t want to go back to a normal, softer, real mattress.

It also easily folds down in an instant even with the fitted sheet on so it’s super convenient to just put aside when you need more space or to clean up the room.

I just bought this memory foam mattress off Amazon a couple weeks ago and I love it; $189 shipped to your door. It's pretty cool how it's packaged and shipped; rolled up and vacuum sealed. Can watch the video to see.

I recommend the memory foam mattresses, which are cheap on amazon. I got a California King size mattress from Amazon Prime (delivered in 2 days!) last year:

http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-SureTemp-Mattress-Warranty/dp/B00B9JIGOS

The Full size version is $329 and comes with 2 memory foam pillows.

I know you said you want to test this before you buy it, but perhaps you could test one of these memory foam mattresses out at a furniture store and then if you like it, but it on amazon.

An 8" foam mattress (Queen) is around $200. A 6" is around $150. Full would be a bit cheaper. If your parents already have a box spring/ bed frames, then this could be a nice replacement.

Insanely awesome memory foam mattress that ships to your front door from Amazon.

put a protector on it and hopefully it will last a long time with your new gf.

http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-SureTemp-Mattress-Warranty/dp/B00B9JIGOS/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1418664447&sr=1-2&keywords=sleep+innovations+memory+foam+mattress&pebp=1418664452036

It depends on what type of break occurred. Was it straight down, through slats, or did the bed break at corners? Additional legs may help. I would have used 2x4s!

It may be unnecessary to buy a new bed, depending on the damage and your preferences. Is it possible to buy a standard bed frame and set it up inside the old bed? You may need to connect things with brackets or wood blocks to get it to fit together.

Alternatively, is it possible to fit a standard bed frame into either of the new beds? If one needs to be a platform bed, you could use 2 sheets of 1/2" or 3/4" ply cut to size (e.g., 2 30" x 80" pieces for a queen bed). I'd put a strip of rubber matting (like a door mat) between the two pieces to reduce squeaking; if that doesn't work, use a scrap piece of the ply to join them, using glue and screws on the underside.

Slats make the bed springier, and usually more comfortable. Reinforcing a few of the slats may help, or adding additional slats, either thicker slats or more, spaced closely.

Regarding a bed, a 6-inch memory foam mattress is $106 from Amazon. It ships with all the air compressed out of it, so you just need to unroll it and let it puff back into shape.

Yes, it takes a little while but it gets there. There was no smell to mine, though some people claim there was with theirs. Ive been pretty happy with it, for 150 bucks i don't think it can be beat. I ordered the 6 inch sleep master for my sisters kids, and while they aren't bad, they are definitely not as comfortable.

read the reviews

I've been happy with this inexpensive Zinus memory foam mattress from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Master-Ultima-Comfort-Mattress/dp/B005G5SIRG I put on my futon frame that folds out to a platform bed, but you can also buy metal frames from this company. I've had it about 10 months so far and it's still comfortable. I went for this particular mattress because it offered the most firm foam for the money and I prefer a firmer mattress. The prices on these things bounce around all the time, so check camelcamelcamel before buying. I paid $130 for a queen, but the same mattress is now $210. This one is currently cheaper and offers more firm foam: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4N3QJ1

Mine was pretty pricey. I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092UCN0Y

You can definitely find cheaper ones though, like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/LUCID-Inch-Plush-Memory-Mattress/dp/B0088YV7XY

I know you want to be able to move things easily and for free, and I was in the exact same boat, but seriously... the $50 you'd pay someone to move your bed for you will be worth it compared to sleeping on a futon pad. A nice thick memory foam mattress is so, so, so very worth it.

EDIT: This one's only $220 : https://www.amazon.com/LUCID-Inch-Memory-Foam-Mattress/dp/B00474X5DO/ref=sr_1_7?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1481050459&sr=1-7&keywords=memory+foam+mattress

Amazon.com has mattresses and box springs.

[I bought this mattress for my son (currently $190).] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004LQ1RKQ/ref=twister_B004LQ1RLK)
If I could do it again, [I would purchase this platform (currently $82).] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006MISZOC/ref=twister_B00TTX4XUW) Or make your own.

For less than $272, you'd have a pretty good setup for an apartment.

Look into the Tuft & Needle mattresses. They're CRAZY comfortable and super affordable. My husband did a ton of research and used Consumer Reports and this is one of the highest rated mattresses they tested. We got ours right around when I got my BFP and I love it to pieces. The cool thing is they vacuum seal it in plastic and ship it to your house for free (in the US at least), so you don't have to worry about delivery or anything. And you don't need to use a box spring with it, so you can get a tall bed frame and have all this storage underneath. I seriously can't recommend this mattress enough.

Amazon has it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2QU5YW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_MVTxwbWF795RH

I bought one if these for my rav4, it’s amazing. Just make sure you have adequate ventilation. It would be gross if it got wet.

I got this mattress for my daughter. It is amazing. Soooo comfortable! Not to firm or too soft. Dont forget a platform or bedsprings!

That looks like what I have. It's good quality for the cost, standing up to a toddler pretty well and was easy to assemble.

www.themattressunderground.com is a fabulous resource for mattress buying. Spoiler alert: The mattress industry mostly wants to screw you. Buy independent/factory direct, almost never name brands.

Here's a specific guide to buying based on budget. A sub $500 budget probably means a "throwaway" mattress, which doesn't mean you can't find something comfortable and supportive, only that it's unlikely to last more than a few years.

Edit: I forgot: I'd stay the hell away from used mattresses. One particular reason: Bed bugs are Satan in bug form, and there is no way to be sure a used mattress doesn't have them.

I got a nice, queen size memory foam mattress for 200 dollars off Amazon. I love it
It was over a year ago, im pretty sure this one is it. It's about 30 dollars more than what i paid though http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Sleep-8-Inch-Memory-Mattress/dp/B005A4ON90/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1375058548&sr=8-8&keywords=memory+foam+mattress+queen

I was rather surprised how comfortable mine is. It has certainly been better than the mattress it replaces.

FYI, one of the reasons that memory foam mattresses can be so cheap is that they ship compressed into a roll about 16 inches in diameter.

Example mattress

Bed frames are pretty cheap too bro.

Now that I'm not mobile, this is what I have. I chose this over the 12" model because the memory foam layer is thicker on the 10" model.

Got this for car camping. Never looked back.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W67PH2Q/

I have this one. It feels just like a tempurpedic.

Go to home depot and buy an $8-$10 of plywood and put it on top of the boxspring. Or buy this.

I am very happy with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L9VANK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Being able to read the thousands of reviews was a good substitute for not being able to try it out before buying.

the frame (box spring alternative) for the Zinus mattresses have a fucking incredible amount of storage space underneath

Futons tend to be uncomfortable. I think your best bet is getting a basic bed frame with storage underneath. It has an optional attachment thing for a headboard. I really like my Casper mattress.

This is the one we finally bought to get out mattress off the floor. Our box spring broke a while ago, so this was the perfect option, plus extra storage! (You know, once we saved up the money)

This what I got. 20 year guarantee, made in USA. I had back problems before but not anymore. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9JIGOS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=webtoolandtec-20

Honestly any 10" memory foam off amazon should be adequate.

Check out memory foam mattresses on amazon. They don't need a boxspring and are super cheap if you get a 6 inch or 8 inch one. I have this one, and you can't even tell how thin it is unless you jump on it or something:

I like that you can rotate the bins so things are easier to access as needed and that I can pull a bin down to put toys in it then put it back up.


And this one but haven't put this one together yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B2QU5YW/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1451264069&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX220_SY330_FMwebp_QL65

Edit to add: those are the ones we have for the living room and family room. For her bedroom she has a 9 cube shelf with cloth bins and open shelves for books and a big toy box

If you like memory foam, then this is your best bet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

This is a little bit steeper, but I think it looks great and is still cheap compared to a lot of bed frames: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W4DCTK0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

I try to do local whenever possible, been happy with Wood You and the The Futon store on N 16th and Main St.

That being said... recently got this for a guest with an "extended stay." We ordered this mattress and this bed frame. Total cost for a queen size bed/mattress: $381.00 (including shipping).

Quality was awesome and it's better than the bed we're using ourselves at more than 3x the price.

I just bought this mattress and it's absolutely incredible. I was nervous about being able to feel the slats since it's only 5" thick but it's not a problem at all and it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. Feels just like the memory foam ones that cost 5X as much or more

Added pics to the dropbox. More info on the platform here. Forgot to advertise the desk chair, but it's for sale as well. Send me a pm for my number if you're interested!

I'm no hostel owner but I bought the 12 inch version of this mattress back when it was well under $300 and I've had it for ~2.5 years with no issues. Two other people I know have bought the same one after trying it.

Depends on what kind of mattress you get and what you or your guest's preferences are. I bought this hybrid mattress and I like it. But, I know some people hate springs, some people hate foam, some people prefer firm, some people prefer soft.... So it's all relative.

Wrong. They do this with metal spring mattresses as well. I got this one last weekend.

In terms of affordability it really is hard to go wrong with online. There are several great options to purchase inexpensive, but super high quality mattresses online.

I just bought a mattress online myself, ended up going with the Leesa. But here are all of the choices I looked at:

Leesa - $890 for queen, neutral firmness, uses Avena foam (similar, but better than latex), has memory foam middle layer, cool design, great price (really cool company too, they give back lots of the community)

Casper - $840 for queen, supposed to be a bit softer then the Leesa, uses latex and memory foam

Tuft & Needle - $600 for queen, one of the cheapest options I found, but also seems to be firmer. If you like firmer could be a good fit.

Yogabed - $899 for queen, similar to the Leesa in may ways, has some cool extras, a few unknowns in terms of the foams they use though

Saatva - $899 for queen, the one online innerspring mattress I found, great option if you really want innerspring. Has a euro-style pillow top, not sure how that would feel though.

Nature's Sleep - ranging prices $800-$1300 for a queen, a more traditional retailer, but had some interesting stuff, especially if you're looking 100% memory foam

For your frame there are a few different options. My wife and I had a platform bed already, so that's what we are using. It was around $600.

IKEA is always an option for cheap with a pretty good number of options. Also, there is this metal box spring / frame option available on Amazon. Hard to beat the price on that.

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!

Not exactly the same but we got this one last year and it looks and feels great. We’ve a hybrid firm mattress on top. Combined weight between us two about 350. Honestly cannot recommend it enough.

You should work a little more, buy the mattress we just bought for our guest room on Amazon for $150, and pay off your student loans with that money.
