Anyone using an all foam mattress?

Slippyblade:
Bedbugs are such a serious problem nationwide anymore, that I'd be insanely cautious about used or "previously owned" mattresses.
pbj:
All you have to do is put them in an airtight bag for awhile.  The bedbugs die off.

I would never buy a used mattress... that's like buying used underwear..
I don't have the same reservations about selling one though, lol.  But it's a lot easier to sell a 5 year old top end name brand mattress than it is a 5 year old bargain bin mattress..

If you ever want to know which mattresses have a high markup, look for the one the stores are pushing.  The same goes for just about anything you buy at a store.
ChadTower:



Few things seem more disgusting and less necessary than buying a used mattress.


Not legal to sell them at retail in MA anyway.
pbj:
You know, a long time ago, I went to a Salvation Army and they had a pile of new mattresses with the brand tags torn off.  Clearly a donation from a furniture store or the like.  Might be worth poking around a few of those if you don't have a wife hollering about NO USED MATTRESSES riding your ass.
