Looking for bed ideas [View all]

Hi all,

Mom and I have been using air beds for a long time because of the lack of ability to afford real beds. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for affordable or free real beds. Ideally fully assembled because I am not a handy person that way, and mom isn’t either. Don’t want to raise money for one at this time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I believe they will assemble it too. Probably charge for it, but worth asking... Wounded Bear Sep 29 #5
