what do you do when you cannot afford a new bed

i've had my current double bed for over 13 years now and now its 'dipping' in the middle of the mattress, it's a divan bed...and it gets really uncomfortable lying on it, especially when you need a good night's sleep...problem is; i can't afford a new mattress at this point in time as i'm pretty broke.

does anyone else have to put up with this? what's your bed like? how long have you had it?

If it’s one that can be flipped, try flipping it. If not, move it so the foot and head are switched. You can also get a mattress topper. Their prices start around $20.
There’s a second hand shop here that gives people all kinds of furniture if they can’t afford it, so you could look around in your area for something like that
