Like hack: If you're in the market for a good mattress, search your local Facebook, Craigslist, or OfferUp listings for "like new" mattresses that have been sanitized and inspected. You can sometimes find nice name brand mattresses that are nearly new at less than half the original price.

I've always said I'd never buy a used mattress. How can you know it's been cleaned and sanitized?

There's nothing wrong with buying new. But most of us are reasonably comfortable sleeping on hotel mattresses which may have been previously used by hundreds of people whereas a used mattress typically was used by one or two people.

Also nice mattresses typically come from nice homes.

Great point, I've slept in too many hotel mattresses to count!

What you're looking for is someone who tried a mattress out for a short time, and for some reason couldn't/didn't return it or for someone reselling trial period returns.
