I keep hearing people say this, but every time I have slept on a futon, I was very uncomfortable.

I am the same. I slept on a futon for about a year and a half, and was increasingly uncomfortable. New bed end of February, it's been a happy girl I've been since then. First night of sleep was sheer bliss (and most of them afterward, too).

it takes a little getting used to admittedly. you dont just leap into bed, thats for sure. at least not twice

mine is about 6-8" thick plain cotton mat with a memory foam pad on top. beyond that, its pretty much resting on a rig much like the one you brought to camp. a frame and some boards across it to hold. bottom line...a table.

love it. 90% of my back issues went away after I got it. at this point I can't imagine sleeping on a springy mattress (or god forbid some squishy thing) again. probably why I slept so well in that truck bed.

Personally I'm impressed that a tread with the title "Buying a bed" could go all the way to #29 posts without a single quote worthy innuendo.


I thought for sure when "Latex" was brought up........
