Anyone know where to get a CHEAP sofa bed mattress?

The old mattress stunk so we trashed it and we need a replacement. I don't plan on anyone ever sleeping on it, but the cushions of the couch are too low without having a mattress inside to help support them. I just need one that doesn't smell, but don't want to pay much for it.

Anybody bought one recently?

Don't know if this will help but we are buying new futon mattresses. Here is the web site.

I don't know if this will help you or not. But I got a sofa and loveseat set, that I'll go for 60.00. The only thing is that it's not a sleeping sofa. But the set is in good condition. Sorry, I don't have any pics.

Anybody remember the story about his favorite cat? probably the problem. Just a thought....

What about an air mattress?

Yep, the cat had his way with my $2500 couch, so that couch is now (after several thorough cleanings) in my gameroom, sans the mattress. I don't need a new couch or loveseat, as these are very nice leather couches and the smell is gone, but I need a mattress to help support the cushions when you sit on it. Did I mention that the cat is gone??

txranger - I buy tons of stuff on Craigslist, but haven't seen anyone selling just a sofa bed mattress. I've sent emails to several folks selling couches cheap asking if I can pay for the couch but only take the mattress. None have accepted my offer yet.

Ideally, I'd really like to buy a really cheap new mattress, but I don't want to spend much money on it since it likely will never be slept on. There are extra beds and couches in the house for that.
