Would you buy a used mattress?
I was on craigslist looking for an armoire and I see a few mattresses for sale. I don't think I could every buy a used one. Even having a good look and a black test on it. There's too many small places for things to hide.

A few years ago, (I think it was Nightline) had a special news investigation on mattresses, especially those shady retailers. To this day, I still get creeped out when sleeping on any mattress but my own.

Hell no, the only thing to do with used mattresses is to either dump them or burn em.

while I agree buying a used mattress is nasty, most of us do sleep on mattresses that have been USED A LOT in hotels...pretty

Just imagine the DNA pool that is inside a typical hotel mattress.

Yeah, F that. Bed bugs are probably the nastiest thing ever.

I've heard they are crawling out of people's luggage on airplanes and buses
