Sure, you can order a $120 6" foam mattress-in-a-box or stop at your local Goodwill to pick up a mattress for about $150, but you get what you pay for. You can pay $150 and get a basic box spring mattress brand new. It feels weird having to explain this to an alleged adult who presumably has been alive at least 25 years now, but a box spring isn't a mattress, it's a foundation you put under your mattress. >_> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-spring If I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I might assume that you meant an innerspring/coil mattress, but I'm really getting the impression that you've never had to shop for a new mattress because salesmen run through this shit with you. Kyuubi4269 posted... Zeus posted... A reasonably good mattress is usually going to run you around $1800 at least. There are some decent-quality memory foams out there that you can get for less than $1500, but when you start to look at quality, you're going to be paying around $3k. And $3k isn't even the really expensive stuff. I take it you've never gone mattress or furniture shopping before, though. You can get a bed frame with a tv coming out of the footboard for $1800 lol A decent mattress is only going to cost you $600, beyond that you're basically wasting your money, I know this from experience of kitting out my entire flat, not your mothers basement. $600 is a low-end mattress. There are some serviceable mattresses for $600, but I'd hesitate to call them decent. Of course, if you're buying bargain $150 innerspring mattresses -- which, by the way, is less than some people pay for a good PILLOW --- I'm sure a $600 mattress is going to look just awesome to you. Meanwhile even the lowest-end Tempur-Pedic is more than $1800 (which isn't to say that there aren't some nice mattresses you can get for $1800) While there's a lot of stuff you can skimp on while furnishing a home, I wouldn't cut corners on a mattress. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:924241404] in Objectivel...
