When I was a child I slept on a foam mattress it was so warm and comfortable. What ever you sleep on is okay.

I know now that I need to maybe put a small amount away each month for a mattress in the future. After I had paid a deposit I saw a bed that was $8000 way too expensive for me but I sat on the side of it and it felt like a cloud.................. sigh.

jimi you can have the honorarium for having the oldest mattress if no-one else has an older one. (Time to start saving jimi?)

elevatedsoul - palets do count.

I have no problems sleeping but wake up sore in places where the dratted springs have been pressed against me.
