    Your own Island that someone else shot their load all over.

    Taking someone else's old bed is kinda weird to me.

    the other option is two full sized beds. gf always gets excited when we stay in a hotel with a pair of beds. :lol:

    I have a twin. My feet hang over the other end of the bed when I lay in it.

    Back in the day I had enough money for a mattress or a surf board. I found some stranger giving away a used bed and it made the decision easy ... Surfs up!

    on the flip side, think about when you stay in a hotel room. how many people have slept in the bed? and how knows what else they did in that bed. :lol:

    at least with this matress, you are only getting one couples left overs.

    i used to work with a lady that would take her own sheets and pillows.

    i for one can handle the risk. so long as they change the sheets after each stay, i'm cool with it.

    however, we have started lifting the mattress to check for bed bugs and the gf, being the semi germ a phobe wipes everything down before unpacking.

    How much is it worth? A friend of mine just bought a high quality king set for 1600 euro. If he offered it to me in the future i would take it. But if it's cheap and just big then no.

    just throw a mattress pad over it... unless your friends is yellowbedwetter i don't see what the problem is

    i would kill for a mattress that large
