i don't think i would chance a used mattress
 
you/we spend at least 25% of our life on a mattress,
so i would consider finding a good mattress you really think you like,
and that means trying out/lying on at least 5-10
 
cost shouldn't be the most important thing here, is what i'm saying

I don't see how it's possible to move a memory foam mattress after it's
expanded. Nothing to grab and heavy as hell.

I can only wear running shoes now, and every once in a while I find a
yard seller who is a serious runner and gets new shoes every month or so
-- she put the purchase date on each pair. $1. SCORE! I'm willing to
buy pretty much anything used, but it depends on how I evaluate the
seller. There are people from whom I wouldn't even buy a shovel!

Wrap it in a tarp?
 
Roll it up and tie it. then carry by the tie ropes?
 
Either and carry it on a homebrew stretcher?

But I said I wasn't a customer. Surely they wouldn't expect me to have
a Tracfone number.
