But there are people who do buy them often enough - hotels! I like to find a Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt/IHG standard mattress and it should be good enough. Ask a hotel manager to hook you up, should only be $250 to $500 at most for a King.

Ah yeah, great idea. I heard the same about sheets. They get ones that last through many washes.

That's a pretty clever trick. Thanks!
