Kid Bed Help: research?

[saffronhare]

I still love Craigslist like crazy, but finding a mattress to fit Fiona Pie's "new" loft bed is proving to be more complicated than I'd imagined. The thing was built to accommodate a college dorm-sized twin mattress...that is, extra-long.

Approximate dimensions are 36 x 88 inches. If anybody knows of a local, affordable option, would you give me a clue where to look? I'd greatly appreciate the help finding a solution!

If you have any colleges in your area, you might check to see where they purchase theirs. If you are willing to deal with a used mattress, they might also have some available.

There are lots of colleges in my area (metro KC). Thanks for the information -- that could really help!

One on this page is around a hundred bucks.

Today, we've decided to take the route of making our own feckin' mattress. It looks much simpler and much more customizable than any other option...cheaper, too!
