Work Location: On the roadPerfect for small spaces, growing kids, or guest beds, I have two Tuft and Needle Twin Memory Foam mattresses looking for a new home. These mattresses were only used for my guest bed, were likely used for less than a week a year, and were only used with a mattress protector. They are in pristine condition and are available due to needing to get rid of our permanent guest bed for space reasons.
These mattresses normally retail for $600 a piece but we’re happy to give them away as long as they’re going to a good home and not the landfill. We can also include fitted sheets and mattress protectors if desired. I’m happy to send photos on request.

Kristina saw these on a table along the waterfront path close to the Lowman Beach end.
She was unable to take them for safekeeping so they may still be there if not already claimed.
