You may need a real Tracfone number before they show you the deal. I
dunno, it worked for me using my wife's Tracfone number.

Agree, and to add: I bought a memory foam mattress 10 years' back with a
cheap pine frame - a budget clone (about $/£250 for a double). 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 . . .

The frame doesn't need to be fancy. 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.
