Could I put a book between my bed and bed mattress?

The thing is, I have 3 walls touching my bed. plus cuboards were put up just above the bed after it was moved in.
Also the headboard has been properly nailed on. I would just lay the other way but there's a crappy shelf that's been up at the end which only leavesa gap of about the height of a size 8 foot between it and the mattress. FML

When are you due to be let out on parole?

Be aware that anyone who spots there is a book between your matress and bed will assume you have put it there to keep it hidden, with all the assumptions that would go with that...

Nope. I got alot of neck pain on my old mattress and now I'm becoming a bit OCD about beds

Oh for goodness sake - just get a new bed. There's nothing money saving about using something that is, according to you, damaging your health / job prospects.

What do you expect us to say? It's a really old bed and it's broken... you don't need the opinion of strangers on what to do... you just need to go to a store, try out a few beds, check the measurements carefully and then choose the most comfortable within your budget. What is left for debate?

Put the mattress on the floor, simples!

I'm not convinced that the bed is going to make it out of the door, given the description of the room!

Then turn yourself around.

I can't do that as some genius decided to put a shelf up at that end which would hit my head. Seriously annoyed right now, lol

There is not space. My room is made up of a desk and a bed and a few shelves here and there...

My room is tiny. I don't even know how you could get another bed in here. There is no space!

If you type in 'Hypnia cheap memory foam mattress' into ebay.co.uk you'll get the mattress I got last week. Have no idea how good it is.

OP you need a new bed. People are giving you advice and you're meeting it with ifs and buts.

Go onto Gumtree/freecycle and find yourself a new, second hand cheap bed frame. You've already got a new mattress, so all you need is a new frame (which is the bain of your problem/life if it's costing you jobs. drama queen! :rotfl:)



You should have got a second hand frame in the first place, rather than get a new mattress. Then see if that worked and then got a memory foam topper (what I done when my mattress was beginning to meet the end of it's life. I sleep amazingly now)
