ORIGINAL: GreedyTop I admit I am amazed at how expensive even a semi decent mattress set costs (thus, I am sleeping on a futon mattress laid on a bed frame). I admti the bedframe cost less than even a cheap mattress set. I admit I was forced (due to my back problems) to invest in a quality foam (non-spring) mattress, many years ago. I admit they're simply a revelation – they don’t deform or sag over time (most spring mattresses start to deteriorate in as little as 2 years, the cheaper ones even faster) and the difference in sleep was noticeable. Everyone who has tried it says the same. One ex had to get her own coz she missed mine so much. I’m on my second one now, after my first was destroyed by water ingress while in storage – they all have 10 year guarantees at minimum, and you’ll never need to claim; my current one is 9 years old now, and seems no different from the day I bought it. Oh, and because they’re effectively sealed internally, dust mites can’t live in them, so they’re better for those with allergies too (not me, but thought I’d mention it). When I didn't have much money I bought one and put it on the floor, rather than spend money on both a frame and a cheap mattress. Then, a little later, I bought a splendid, hand-made, solid wood frame, in a funky, sort of Gothic (ish) style. I admit my bed frame has some rather nifty anchor points I added myself :)
