We have tall people in our family so I was thinking of getting 2 twin XL mattresses but they are hard to find, and I’d like to get good quality for a reasonable price. (In other words, they should last 5 years at least).
But now, I am thinking a queen sized bed might be a better idea because they’re readily available, and so is the bedding.

Our bedrooms are not too big.

I started getting bit about 8 weeks ago. usually 2 to 3 bites at a time, or just one, sometimes close together, sometimes in various parts of my body. First it was just me for the first few weeks but now all 4 of us in my fam are getting bit, esp me and my little boy. We bombed with flea bombs twice. Then we thought it was bed bugs. We had 4 diff pest controls come and inspect, all 4 said we dont have them. But we still bought bed bug/water proof encasements for our mattresses box springs and pillows, the PCO treated our apt for bed bugs twice, and he was very very thorough, we covered the house in Diatamaceous Earth, we washed every stitch of clothing in our house and put them in air tight bags (which are currently being stored in my moms garage) we are living out of 2 trash bags worth of clothes. we put patrolleum jelly around the legs of the beds, we’v treated the car too, and steam cleaned the couch and the bed and all our chairs. We’v done every thing we can think of but we are still getting bit, and it recently started getting worse. They use to just bite my arms now im getting bit all over my face. IF ANY ONE HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP US. my poor son is losing his mind and so am i. its one thing for me to deal with it, but its heartbreaking when your 3 year old and 4mnth old have to deal with this too. please help us

Also can these problems be fixed after getting a new mattress? And is there anything I can do about it in the meantime, while I search for mattresses?

My daughter has been sleeping with us on the bed and she has gotten used to it. She is my first child so what I am wondering since I don’t know much, are all the baby/toddler mattresses the same? The one my mother in law gave to us along with the crib is very uncomfortable, is basically like an air mattress. We are thinking about turning her crib into a toddler bed but is there a mattress that is more like ours and not the whole air mattress type? I believe if we get her a mattress that is more like ours she would sleep the whole night on her own.

I’ve had my mattress for over 11 years… needn’t say why I need a new one. I really haven’t shopped in so long but I do know that I dont want anything fancy, but something comfortable and a well known brand. Nothing like those "Bounce and no wine spills" mattresses. If anyone can recommend a company it would help! I know of Serta and that’s about it.

I am going to buy a therm-a-rest, because my other self inflating mattress is not optimal for multipurpose camping/hiking/backpacking because it isn’t very small, and it’s heavy – i would never bring it on a backpacking trip. So the point is to have one mattress that is comfortable enough to use if I’m just doing day hiking, but light enough to backpack with. I narrowed the mattresses down to 2 options, and I want advice on them.

#1 Z Lite™ Regular- I know this is the lightest, but is it worth it if I’m not only using it for backpacking? I would also like to know how comfortable it is.

#2 ProLite™- Regular- This one is 2 ounces more than the last, and about more. Is it comfortable? Is it worth paying more?

What do you think of them? Personal Experience?
(The amount of warmth they offer is fine for the seasons I will use these in, I know that already.)
I will not be using these with the therm-a-rest chairs; that decreases the life of a mattress.

So, function, use, comfort- tell me about these please! I would be happy to know personal experiences as well. Thank you very much!

I just wanted to know if you can buy another type of mattress and box spring with an Ikea bed. The bed I like is a metal frame. But I didn’t like the fact that you can only buy a wooden slatted base with the mattress. Is the bed comfortable like that? I kinda would prefer a mattress with box spring from a brand known for making mattresses (i.e. Sealy, Serta, etc.) What do you think?
