Man, I need a real bed.

I would just get a cheap mattress. And start slow until you can work up to a bed. You might be able to find one online. Like Amazon.

In the hot weather, I can't stand to sleep upstairs, so I use either a sofa or chair downstairs. I tried air mattresses years ago but decided they're too much trouble. You might check consignment and antiques stores, if there are any in your area, for used beds. I once bought a twin bed in perfect condiiton for $50.00 at a barn sale.

You don't have a couch? If you had to skimp you can buy a twin mattress and put it on the floor. I did that in my 20's when I was broke as hell. I have 3 ferals that I domesticated one at a time. I would sleep on the floor in a spare room in a sleeping bag. I had friends who were broke that had a futon instead of a bed.

Hope you get your head above water soon.

Futon couch till you save up the cash?? Some folks sleep with a matresss on the floor

Buy a second hand one at a thrift store

You can get a twin mattress for $200-$300

Second-hand??

I love airbeds.

Costco has good mattresses under a G. Will last a few years.

You think that's bad? I've got the old spring kind. Thing's like 20 years old.

Check out furniture outlets, they often have the same top brand names at half price or less, brand new. Three years ago I got a $1,200 queen set for $499.
