My brother found a basically-new memory foam mattress on Craigslist years ago - it was someone's guest bed. He had just started medical school, and quite proud of his find. This mattress has migrated to his guest bedroom - he'd replaced it with a larger spring mattress. I've slept on the foam mattress a few times. After I sink in, it's like I'm frozen in place. While not the worst mattress I've ever slept on, I wake up 'stiff'. When I was mattress shopping last fall, I got an old-fashioned spring mattress and a cheap ikea bed frame [1]. The frame was instead of a box spring, so I could store stuff underneath. (The one with drawers would have been cool... But my father pointed out that I was about to move, and it'd just be more work.) [1] http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49007528/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49007528/
