I dunno, it worked for me using my wife's Tracfone number.   Dennis (evil) -- I'm a hands-on, footloose, knee-jerk head case. -George Carlin

Frugal Bed

It still seems fine and comfy.   My point for those on a budget - might this type of mattress be OK second hand? So long as it's not obviously soiled or damaged, would a good clean be OK? I say this as somebody who wouldn't normally buy a second hand mattress out of choice, unless the provenance was very well known . . .   -- Cheers, Rob

You don't even need one if you want your bed on the floor or a platform, so building your own is definitely an option.   As for used mattresses, I think the only way I would buy one would be from someone who resells otherwise-new mattresses returned for exchange during a tryout period. I don't know where you might find them, but your local mattress store may tell you.
