 I have a desperate request.  A good friend of mine had to throw out all of her mattresses and beds (along with many other items) due to a severe bedbug infestation.  She and her fiance live in a one bedroom apt in Ivy Hill with 3 small children and another adult.  I am trying to locate some mattresses, futons, air mattresses, etc. for her family to sleep on.  If anyone has any spare items that they are can donate, I would greatly appreciate it.
 Also, we are in the process of trying to find her family an apartment in Maplewood so keep us in your prayers!
 
 Thanks all!
 JML

 We have some mattresses in our attic we aren't using. Let me check with my mom when she gets home about giving them to you for your friends. I can't promise anything though until I speak with her.

 Its not quite a bed, but its a futon mattress.  This is the kind designed for a platform bed; it cannot be used as a couch.
 
 You're more than welcome to it.

 I have a twin mattress that I no longer need since getting a bigger bed. Let me know if you want it.

 Read on further to understand why there is more to it than changing mattresses.
 Best of luck to your friend ....

 Thanks guys for all your help.  We have received some mattresses, but could also use metal bed frames - twin, full, or queen.  Again, I can pick them up.  Please email me at JustMeLaura@aol.com.
 Thanks again MOL, you are the best,
 JML
