Like is there some way to get a cheaper mattress without grabbing a shit stained one off the side of the road :agony:

I’m about to get a new place and yeh bro… I just paid 3k as a deposit I don’t have $1500 for a fucken piece of foam

    Harder mattresses are secretly better tho. Don’t be fooled by Big Soft. I’m a fan of having 2 or more sleeping places. Got a harder bed, a softer couch, a floor mat and this thread is making me think of a hammock. Even as a lil kid when I couldn’t sleep I found thar just going to a different surface worked wonders so I try to have a few viable sleep surface options. I didn’t even think this was weird until typing it and it’s amazing that partners I’ve had have never remarked on it. I have gotten out of bed with people mid sleep said ‘I can’t do bed with other person, i gotta do couch with thin blanket.’. Sleep is weird and I’ve learned trying to power through not sleeping is foolishness. Change venues.

      Yeah trying to sleep in those super plush hotel mattresses just makes me feel like im about to cave in on myself, also spinal misalignment hurts.

        Same. I don’t wanna be in a crevasse when I sleep. I already need a fan on for noise and blowing air, an open window even if it’s freezing out, my normal blanket and my weighted blanket and a very specific pillow arrangement. My cat is nice to have too
