Help Getting a Free Mattress?

Does anyone know of a grant program or charity or something like that that could help me get a good mattress for my bad back and neck? I currently have no income. I have filed for disability, but I am awaiting the appeal process. I need one of those good mattresses that will help my neck and back.

I don't know of anyplace that will give you a new "good" mattress. As far as I know there isn't any mattress that will completely help neck and back problems. In fact I haven't even seen any advertisements that sound like that. Most people with back and neck problems have to learn to live with them, or else take pain medications. My spine is full of arthritis and I also have diabetic neuropothy. I told my doctor that I prefer to get by without pain medication as long as I could and she agreed with me because of all the other medications I am on. I taught myself self-hypnosis and that works real well a lot of the time. I tried to get disability and was denied, then went through the appeals process and was still denied.

They have a tendency to bring in an expert that will say that there are so many jobs that you should be able to handle within say something like a five state area around where you live, and basically you will be expected to apply for them or stay where you are. No matter what you would decide to do you can still be denied disability. If you don't have any mattress go to your local Salvation Army Office and tell them you need a mattress and they will give you a voucher to take to their thrift store for a mattress and if the store has any mattresses you will get one free, but don't expect it to be some high end thing, like you sound like you want. More than likely you will be expected to transport yourself too.
