Amazon has cheap mattresses.
Hotels and motels go out of business, hotel liquidation is a tea business.
Estate sales- boo...
 
I don't like the idea of used mattresses, that's why I insist on a brand new mattress whenever I stay at a hotel.
 
I also avoid used dentures, socks and underwear. Though I hear rock stars insist on not bothering to wash underwear, insisting on a brand new pair each morning. Would I wear famous underwear gently used? I don't know.

What's special about "famous" underwear, that you would even consider it?

>I need a new bed. Or just mattress and box springs.

There should be removal instructions on the back of the condom box.
 
Even if you screw up you shouldn't need a new mattress, just a wet
washcloth.

I just tried it going in the Not A Customer route and giving a
valid-but-not-a-tracfone number. No dice: only minutes cards were
shown and no 365 day service extension offers.
 
I think the extra service time is purchased online and sent to your
tracfone wirelessly, whereas the minutes increments can be added
online/wirelessly or by buying a physical minutes card and entering
the pin on the keypad.
 
Maybe you should complain to Carlos. :-)
