So how the HELL can a sagging mattress be pumped up

on the cheap in a way that feels fixed and not LUMPY??????

CHEAP solutions only...

Best answer that actually works will get the owner a free place here. With a NEW mattress. I need a caretaker.

No kidding.

Look for a local Buy Nothing Group and ask for what you want such as a new mattress or platform:

@Platoscave You're welcome. Some areas also have them as a FB Group too.

@zeeva70 ok. I enjoyed it. Good idea. I already contacted them and I hope they will start one here, so far not though...

Piece of plywood put under it is all I know. Then it’s not gonna be like new.

All I know is new stuff these days can't get junkier. People are way over the barrel with mattresses especially cause old ones mostly are too broken for use and new ones which work anymore are unaffordable. If I had never moved maybe there might be something in the house which is still working that way. But these days people move around. I had to for my own survival, and in moving you leave important stuff behind by necessity.

@Platoscave I don’t know how mine lasted 24 years. I was thinking 15 years but it’s way past that now. And it didn’t hurt my back to sleep on it, so it’s not saggy.And it wasn’t an expensive mattress, but it was made at a local mattress company.

@cherokeepatti All old products worked way better.

Put a “ blue mattress” topper on it , flip and rotate and put a piece of 3/4 plywood Omer the part that sags . Works ! 👍🏻Good luck

@TexChik Flipping and rotating doesn't work anymore and anything I have tried putting under the bad spot, isn't working well enough, hard stuff, soft stuff, zippo.
I have a foam thing in my yard house, single size, I think I will replace the useless thing with that. I found it very comfortable when I tried it. But it is the wrong size.

Oh well its always something...said Gilda Radner!

Thanks all!

@SW-User Do you have any sibs or friends who can offer an answer heh? Just kidding. Thanks anyway but I WISH I could sleep on a bare board. Hope springs eternal but not on MY bed.

LOL!!

Have you tried putting a board underneath the mattress - between the mattress and box spring?

Left or right? Which side would I get?🙃

A new roof on the dog kennel should do the trick.

With a NEW dog kennel, you need a caretaker.

Get a memory foam topper. It's great!
