To Foam Mattress or not to Foam Mattress

Submitted by Juanita_r on Fri, 04/18/2014 - 05:48

Hope this is in the right forum area, apologies if it isn't!

I will try and be brief. We need a double (I think you call it a full size in the states) for my teen son, but it will also double as the guest bed, as every time we have someone stay the air mattress comes out.

My dilemma is the following:
Innerspring mattresses are expensive ($400-500), a 150mm (6") foam mattress is $99. If I made the farmhouse bed with slats and the layed over the top a sheet of ply (with air vent hole drilled in) do you think this would work? Or am I wasting my money?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, so thank you in advance!
