can't you just put the matress on the floor for the time being to stop any further damage?

sounds like a sensible temporary solution.
in my area colin we have a furniture project who supply furniture to those who for whatever reason can't afford to buy, try googling this for your area and see if there is any around, it's quite com
mon now

You may be able to get a budgeting loan that you pay back but not a community care grant

I think if you put everything down on the Grant form and let them make the decision, its possible they may if if last time you just applied for a mattress.

Remember to put on about your MS.

If all else fails, like other posters have said Furniture stores, Salvation Army or St Vincent de Pauls should be able to help
