Would you buy a used mattress?

[Koenigsegg]

Looking for a bed for my college apt, but I'm cheap. Is there any reason not to try and get a used queen sized mattress?

 

[Anubis]

my friend just took one off the street

If you do, make sure you clean it first...

Depends on how many stains it has, and what kind.

that right there is the reason. Who knows what has been done on that mattress.......

Fvck No

 

[rh71]

no stains, no problem.

 

[mattocs]

yeah, get a carpet shampooer and get the VD off it

People buy and sell used mattresses on craigslist all the time. I don't think I would do it....I'd hate to think the mattress had more action than I have.

We bought a friend's queen bed for one of our spare bedrooms. No problem with doing that as we know the source, but I'd never buy one used without knowing where it came from.

 

[mattocs]

better yet, ask around your friends and family if they are looking into getting rid of a mattress...at least you know whos love goo is on it :-/

 

[Sex Smurf]

steam clean it and then wrap it in plastic.

I think i've slept on much worse - cockroach infested bunk beds on a fishing boat. :disgust:

 

[meltdown75]

might as well buy used undies

 

[lokiju]

No, not unless it was from a family member or friend.

I suppose you people who think it would be too gross to buy a used mattress have never stayed at a hotel?

that's reaching a bit. staying at a hotel for a limited time > owning a pre-owned mattress.

I would never buy a used mattress, but I did take a slightly used one from my sister. People give away free mattresses all the time. Last year I put my king size up on Craigslist, and I had tons of responses. Someone came the next day from an hours drive away to pick it up.

Point being->Don't buy a used mattress, Get a free one.

Would it be wiser to buy from an AT geek since you know he was probably the only one sleeping on it?

 

[intogamer]

if it was from a hot cleb then yes

You just stay at a hotel, not live there for years.

 

[compnovice]

Yah...I guess all you guys take your own mattresses to Motels?

In case you don't know, there is a wonderful invention.... Its called sheets!!!

EDIT: Beaten to the post

Why? If sanitation is the reason you wouldn't buy it, what difference does it make if it's for a couple days vs 9 months?

Why? What is the difference? You sleep on it once, you sleep on it 1000 times. How is that any more icky? I mean I'm assuming you keep clean sheets on it.
