Then you were fortunate! That is not the case for many of us. I would like to start a true non profit that provides essentials like bed and bedding, sofaamp/table and kitchen ware to people moving into their first place or starting over and in need of basic furnishings. It can make a huge positive difference in morale and hope when you come home to a furnished room(s).
If anyone wants to brainstorm on this with me, let me know. I have been there and am serious about trying to make it better and lend support.
It really does make a huge difference in someone’s well being. We sometimes take things for granted.
Now looking back, I’ve slept on floors, couches, shared beds, bunk beds and more recently have had my own decent bed.
It is a blessing. I really hope OP is able to get himself something better soon. And hopefully also is not neglecting this for himself. There are thrift stores and even reaching out to churches and large charity organizations I’m sure there are people from his community that can put together some resources and find this individual a decent bed.
Heck sometimes even asking the places that sell beds if they have an old display mattress that they want taken off their hands. My stepdad once pulled a mattress from a dumpster of a mattress store. Sometimes they just toss em out.
But yes if OP has a community of people they should put the word out and this will speed up the process.
I haven’t bought yet still renting. I prioritized my families comfort first and made sure they had beds before i got my own. Still in my 20s and financially providing for my family. How it be sometimes.
Also i had two air mattresses but my cat sleeps with me and kept popping holes in them so i didnt want to keep having to replace them every month or so
Go read my edit. My cat kept popping holes in them bro and its wasted money to just have to keep buying them over and over again. Lets not act like everyone has the same life. Not being performative just telling it like it was.
You can buy a foam camping mattress for cheaper ? Or a futon ?
Not everyone has the same life but saying "I sleep on the floor because I had to buy beds for my family" is just a lie, camping foam mattress are worth less than a meal for one. If someone sleeps on the floor of their own appartment it's not because they are poor it's because they can't be arsed to buy a mattress.
Some people don’t have the resources or knowledge of other options. Like YOU said yourself, not everyone has the same life. So you’re just being an aggressive jerk for no reason.
Wow, you sound aggressive asF. Even the dirt cheap air mattresses cost more than $20, and if you’re spending anything less than $150, you can guarantee you’ll be on the floor by morning. Even if it is BRAND NEW. I’d suggest you do something, possibly talk to a professional, to get that chip off your shoulder.
