Good luck and have fun.

Or a quality FOAM mattress.
At the VERY least a "pocket coil" type.

Have you slept on a modern air bed? The type that has
vinyl/whatever pillars inside. It is not like an air mattress that
is used for floating in a pool. The inner structure keeps the air
compartment level throughout the mattress. And the air makes it a
marvelously comfortable place to rest.

Why others are not sold on the idea is like the eighth wonder of the
world to me.

To each his own, I guess.
I've slept on one. Not bad, but like water beds they are a PAIN when
they spring a leak. Yes, I know some have built-in automatic air pump
and adjustable firmness - but they are still a pain when the pump
comes on in the middle of the night.

Love my foam-coil mattress
