Need help finding a bed!

[spud.livejournal.com]

I'm really tired of the uncomfortable futon I'm on right now! I have a really nice queen-size bed frame, but I need a mattress and box spring for it!

Does anyone know where I can pick up a CHEAP queen-sized mattress and box spring around Davis/Porter/Harvard/Central? I went by Sleepy's yesterday, and even their cheapest set was over $500. I just need something to get me by for a few months till I can get out and drop the cash on a nicer mattress.

I also want to avoid the used mattress route if possible, as I really don't like the thought of getting buggies from strangers!

Thanks!

I got my mattress for $100ish at Boston Bed Company in Allston. It was not nice, but it was cheap and better than a futon.

I'll take a look at them. It sounds like it fits in with the "cheap" aspect, and that's probably more for due to the location with so many students in that area. Thanks!

I got mine at their store near Lechmere and I like it a lot. Somehow I liked one of their cheaper options best (the others were too soft, I think), which worked out well. I don't think it was their very cheapest though.
